[merged small][ocr errors]

Ordered, that notice be given by the Secretary from this Board to Capt. Rob. Hancock, yt the Council are very solicitous to do whatsoever lies in their power for the promoting his Maj'tys interest and service; but considering the present circumstances of this Province, being by sea & land wholly frontier to the enemy, and all our men 'listed in his Maj'tys Fort & Garrisons, being many too few for our own defence: We having been necessitated to pray the assistance of forty men from the Lt. Governor of the Massachusetts Province, which are now drawn off again, and left us very weak; the small concern of shipping belonging to this Province being now most abroad; We being also beholden to our neighbor government for men to man those few vessels are sent abroad from this Province, all which considered, we are in no present capacity of affording the supply desired. The above order notified to Capt Hancock accordingly.

Association in New Hampshire, to stand by the Protestant succession-1697.

[Copied from Farm. & Moore's Hist. Coll., Vol. I. p. 126.]

Whereas there has been a horrid and detestable conspiracy formed and carried on by the Papists and other wicked and traitorous persons, for assassinating his Majesty's royal person, in order to encourage an invasion from France on England, to subvert our religion, laws and liberty-WEE, whose names are hereunto subscribed, do heartily, sincerely and solemnly profess, testify and declare that his present Majesty King William is rightfull and lawful King of the Realms of England, Scotland and Ireland; and that neither the late King James nor the pretended Prince of Wales, nor any other person hath any right whatsoever to the same. And we do mutually promise and engage to stand by and assist each other to the utmost of our power in the support and defence of his Majesty's most sacred person and government, against the late King James and all his adherents. And in case his Majesty come to any violent or untimely death (which God forbid!) we do hereby further freely and unanimously oblige

ourselves to unite, associate and stand by each other in revenging the same upon his enemies and their adherents, and in supporting and defending the succession of the Crown, according to an Act made in the first year of the reign of King William and Queen Mary, entituled "An Act declaring the rights and liberties of the subject, and settling the succession of the Crown."
