The thirde Petition humbly presented by this General Assembly to the Treasurer, Counsell & Company is, that it may plainely be expressed in the great Comission (as indeed it is not) that the antient Planters of both sortes, viz., suche as before Sir Thomas Dales' depart[104] were come hither upon their owne chardges,[105] and suche also as were brought hither upon the Companie's coste, maye have their second, third and more divisions successively in as lardge and free manner as any other Planters. Also that they wilbe pleased to allowe to the male children, of them and of all others begotten in Virginia, being the onely hope of a posterity, a single share a piece, and shares for their issues or[106] for themselves, because that in a newe plantation it is not knowen whether man or woman be the more necessary. [104] In the McDonaldcopy this was just written departure, then "ure" crossed out with a pen, and the word made department. Bancroft has departure. [105] Charges, McDonald. [106] McDonald and Bancroft both have "wives as," instead of "issues or," the former being evidently the proper words. Their fourth Petition is to beseech the Treasurer, Counsell & Company that they would be pleased to appoint a Sub-Tresurer[107] here to collecte their rents,[108] to the ende that[109] the Inhabitants of this Colony be not tyed to an impossibility of paying the same yearly to the Treasurer in England, and that they would enjoine the said Sub-Treasurer not precisely according to the letter of the Charter to exacte mony of us (whereof we have none at all, as we have no minte), but the true value of the rente in comodity. [107] Treasurer, McDonald. [108] rentes, McDonald, Bancroft. [109] McDonald and Bancroft both omit that. The fifte Petition is to beseeche the Treasurer, Counsell & Company that, towards the erecting of the University and Colledge, they will sende, when they shall thinke[110] it most convenient, workmen of all sortes, fitt for that purpose. [110] McDonald and Bancroft omit it. The sixte and laste is, they wilbe[111] pleased to change the savage name of Kiccowtan, and to give that Incorporation a newe name. [111] will be, McDonald. These are the general Petitions drawen by the Comitties out of the two former bookes w^{ch} the whole general assembly in maner and forme above[112] sett downe doe most humbly offer up and present[113] to the honourable construction of the Treasurer, Counsell and Company in England. [112] sette, Bancroft. [113] presente, McDonald and Bancroft.
