336 HISTORY OF MARYLAND.
" I believe an act of indemnity, with a few exceptions of the most notorious transgressors, would prove a great means to reduce the people to their obedience, tho' the heads
of them are soe arrogant as to declare that in case the King should send orders not to their
likeing, they would not obey them, and a deal of such stuff; the Coll: will informe your
Lordship at large; therefore will at present conclude with my hearty prayers that your
Lordship may meet with noe great difficultye in composeing these matters, as allsoe with
a full assurance that I allwayes shall strive in the station I am in to deserve in some
measure the name of, My Lord,

Square in London." 1
The Associators assembled again in convention in September, 1690, but at
neither of their sessions do they seem to have made any attempt at a permanent

which an order was passed on the 21st of August,
1690, directing the Attorney General to proceed by
scire facias in the matter of the charter, and present
proof of the alleged abuse of power under it, that it
might be lawfully vacated. While the case was still
