And if the Justices are in their Construction of this Exception in either<lb></lb>

is a great Discouragement, and often attended with delays &<lb></lb>
Inconveniencies to the Soldiers who are to be Quarters, as well<lb></lb>

<p n="863">For Remedy of these Inconveniences It is proposed<lb></lb>

of Such Liguors by retail in such Shops or houses and<lb></lb>

<p n="865">If these Amendments are not thought proper, Tis desired That<lb></lb>
the Exception may be explained and more clearly worded,<lb></lb>
That the Justices may be better able to Judge where and on<lb></lb>
whom to Quarter the Soldiers, That the Constables may be<lb></lb>
incouraged to do their Duty by the Security they will find in the<lb></lb>
plain words of the Law, and That the Soldiers may be<lb></lb>
received into the Quarters appointed them, without the<lb></lb>
Delayes and Difficulties, which at present attend them,<lb></lb>
from the doubts and disputed about the two meaning of<lb></lb>
this Clause.</p>
