THese Orders hauing beene first framed and dige∣sted by a select Comittie; and then presented to the Counseil, and by them approued; were afterwards pub∣liqu••••y read in the Preparatory Court, held on Mun∣day
the 7. of Iune, 1619. And lastly were againe read distinctly and deliberately in a great and generall Quarter Court held on Wednesday, the 9. of Iune, 1619. where with a full & general consent, by erection of hands, they were ratified and ordained to be the per∣petuall standing Orders of the Companie of Virginia. Some few additions, and small alterations, haue since beene made, in the Quarter Courts in Easter Term and Trinitie Term, 1620.
