Sect. 9. A Council added to the Governours upon some Grie∣vances.

UPon some Grievances we chang'd the powers And add a Council to the Governours; First all the Col'nels, and then four more; Two for the Town, two for the Countrey Boor, Cocken and Squire were chosen for the Town; For Countrey, Doctor Jennings and Gladstone. Jennings the Arch-Deacon of Ossory; And now the learned Rector of Artree. Then in this Council, this a Law was made, No ••ct should pass unless seven gave their aid: Mogrige was Secretary to this power, For Bennet was to England sent before, To give their Majesties an Information, Of what had hap'ned since the Sieg's formation. He to their Camp as a Deserter flies, And in few days himself from thence conveys, And tells our case unto their Majesties. Whitneys convict; Monroe his Post obtain'd, Who by his merits had that honour gain'd; He's Ma••or Gen'ral Monroes Brother Son, Who did oppose the Foe in forty one. They likewise Col'nell Michelburn confine, And by good Laws their Government maintain,
