(2) _The Same to the Same, May 17, 1626._ _Virginia Magazine of History_, II, 50-55. An abstract is printed in the _Colonial State Papers_. But the groundwork of all is, that their bee a sufficient publique stock to goe through with soe greate a worke, which wee cannot compute to bee lesse then £20,000 a yeare, certaine for some yeares; for by itt must be mainetained the governer and counsell and other officers here, the forrest wonne and stockt with cattle, fortifications raysed, a running armye mainetayned, discoveries made by Sea and land, and all other things requisitt in soe mainefould a business. And because [of the difficulty of administering such sums wisely from England], wee humbly desire that a good proporcion thereof may bee whollie att the disposall of the governer, Counsell, _and generall Assembly in Virginia_.... 32. Royal Restoration of the Virginia Assembly, 1629 _a. Harvey's Propositions Touching Virginia_ (_without date; 1629_) _Virginia Magazine of History_, VII, 369. For explanation, see _American History and Government_, # 34. Sir John Harvey had been appointed governor a few months before, with a commission _which made no mention of an Assembly_. The extract is No. 2 of the seven "propositions" submitted by him to King Charles. 2. That his Ma[jes]tie wilbe pleased gratiously to extend his favour to the planters, for a new confirmation of their lands and goods by charter under the great seale of England, and therein to authorize the Lords to consider what is fitt to be done for the ratifying of the privileges formerly granted, _and holding of a general assembly_, to be called by the Governor upon necessary occasions, therein to propound laws and orders for the good government of the people; and for that it is most reasonable that his ma[jes]ties subjects should be governed only by such laws as shall have their originall from his ma[jes]ties royall approbation, it be therefore so ordered that those laws, so there made, only stand as propositions, until his ma[jes]tie shalbe pleased, under his great seal or privy seal, or by the Lords of his noble privy council, to ratify the same. _b. Certaine Answeres_ (_by Charles I_) _to Capt. Harveye's Proposicons Touching Virginia_ _Virginia Magazine of History_, VII, 370.
