This House cannot agree to the Resolve of yours respecting the Tax to be collected from Quakers &c &c.

We are of oppinion, the Law is clearly expressed and requires those Denominations to pay a three fold Tax in lieu of Military Duty, and for Neglecting to return Lists of his their property a four fold Tax for such Neglect, which in the last mentioned case amounts to a Seven fold Tax, agreeable to which we send for your Concurrence a Resolve, for the directions of the several Collectors. 

By Order, Jno Haywood CS
