fit to adjourn themselves for Five Weeks (which if what they

Scarcely ever did before to adjourn for so long a time) for no

the said Trustees from the first day of their Meeting to this

Proceeded with a due Regard to the Publick Interest nor as

becoming Men entrusted with so great an Income, but have

rather Shown themselves Partial to one another and have

demonstrated such their Partiality by the many contradictory
