And that such and no other construction shall be made hereof, than that which may tend most to advance religion, justice, and the public good, and to suppress all acts and contrivances to be inven- ted or put in use contrary thereto. In witness whereof, I have to these presents set my hand, and thereto have affixed the seal of the said Province, and caused the same to be enrolled in the Secretary's office of the said Province, this two and twentieth day of fuly, in the second year of his said Majesty's reign, and in the year of our Lord one thou- sand six hundred and eighty-six.
