For Mr Roberts.

Yesterday the assembly’s petition was frowned upon in both Houses; notwithstanding we purpose, God willing, on Thursday to give in a remonstrance of a more full and high strain, to be communicate to both Houses, and the assembly, on Friday, by the hand of the grand committee. What necessity there is of hastening your petition also, you may consider. I heard yesterday, that Mr Lilburn has a petition for the sectaries, subscribed with the hands of a great many thousands.
