and publickly read; _My Lord Commissioner_ professed that it had resolved
him of sundry doubts, but desired a time to be more fully resolved.

The Moderatour desired that if any of the Assembly had any thing to say
against the said testimonie for the books, that they would declare it, and
finding none to oppon, yet be appointed the day following, to any to
object any thing they could say; and if then none could object the
Assembly would hold the Registers as sufficient approven.
