a
Necessity

no

much
lesse
any

Officers
,
would
have
bin
so
slow
,
in
contributing
their
assistance
to
the
Poll-money
,
but
by
the
not
comming
in

,
from
the
slow
and
slender
comming
of

,
from

;
together

Wee

haste
in

(
if

prevented
)
the
House
intends
to
make
a
Revenue
of
the
Assesments
,
to
the
end
,
that
wherein
the
Assessors
either
through

;
should
be
found
either
to
have
left
any
uncharged

Act
chargeth
,
or
to
have
charged
any
lower
then
they
are
charged
by
the
Act
:
those

be
found
faulty
,
may
incurre
both
the

Contemners
of

they
shall
