The Parish of oyster river their answer, to a Petition #fferred to the Gen1 Assembly the 14th May 1717, agst Sd Parish by some disaf- fected # sons.
May it Please yor Excellency and your Honours
We the Subscribers hereof, being chosen by ye parish #ferred to represent them and appear in their behalf, before this Honble assem- bly, to make answer to ye Petition above mentioned, ferred agst them, humbly take leave to Say as follows.
In Sd Petition we observe three things Petitioned, and ye reasons urged for haveing them granted, Ist tis requested that ye vote of Gen- eral assembly wch confirm'd oyster river a Parish, may be repealed, or as they Express it reversed ; for three reasons, Ist that the vote was passed, upon a wrong representation of the matter, to which we an- swer, that the matter lay before the Gen1 Assembly, undr considera- tion 12 months, before the result, dureing wch time, there was three or four Sessions, so that there was all ye time and opportunity that could be wished, to make aright representation thereof, Petitions were # ferred on either side, and answers thereto, all matters fairly debated

in both houses, & ye votes passed thereupon most reasonable & just. - the second reason they give for haveing ye vote repeald is, because tis judicial to the whole, to wch we answer, that by the whole, we understand ye whole parish, & that, tis not prejudicial to the whole parish, appears by our declaration to ye Contrary, for, as we are the rep- resentatives of ye parish in this affair, what we Say in Gen1 Assembly relateing to this matter, the Parish Saith, & we do Say, & hereby declare, that ye vote wch they urge to have repealed, is no way #ju- diciall, to ye interest of ye Parish, but very beneficial thereto ; & again, Is it possible that any man or Community, in yr right minds, should urge to have anything continued upon them, that is #judiciall & hurtfull to their interest, no veryly ; but this Parish prayes yt instead of repealing ye vote ye Same (if so it can be,) may be Strengthened. The third reason they give for haveing ye vote repealed, is because tis a vote, to which we answer, it would been as well for them to have Said, they would have ye parish made no parish, because it was a Par- ish, or that they would have every thing capable of change, changed, because it was as it was.
The 2ª thing requested in Sª Petition, is to have a reasonable pro- portion of land, allotted to the Subscribers of sd Petition, out of the town of Dover, to wch we would breifly answer, that as we are representatives of ye parish aforesd we have no answer to make thereto, as such : yet as Dover men, we would humbly offer, that tis not the Parish of Oyster river yt asks for an Addition, but onely a party of men of sd Parish, disaffected to ye regular proceedings thereof.
the third & last thing they pray for, is that whereas there is two meeting houses in ye Parish, it may be ordered, yt ye Publick worship of God, may be held alternately, on ye Lords days, at those two meet- ing houses, to which we would humbly make the following answer, that by virtue of the vote of ye Gen1 assembly, & ye powers contained therein, we have (being by Sd vote empowered so to do,) chosen, called, and Settled an able and arthodox Minister, to preach at ye new meeting house altogether, so yt if this prayer is granted, the parishes agreemt wth their Minister is null'd, he turned away, & ye parish putt to ye utmost Extremity, to find a Minister to comply, wth so unreason- able an ord' as preaching at two places :
