"And be it further enacted, by the Authority aforesaid, That it shall and may be lawful for the King
and Queen's Majesties, to issue out Commissions, from
Time to Time, to such Persons as they shall think fit,
whereof the Quorum shall consist of Three at the
least, to tender to such Person and Persons above the
Age of 18 Years as shall be specially named in such
Commission, the Oaths of Fidelity mentioned in a
Statute made in the First Year of the Reign of our
Sovereign Lord and Lady King William and Queen
Mary, intituled, An Act for removing and preventing all Questions and Disputes concerning the Assembling and Sitting of this present Parliament; and
that all and every Person and Persons so named in such
Commission, and to whom the said Oaths shall be
tendered as aforesaid, shall be obliged to take the said
Oaths, before such Persons as shall be commissioned to
take the same."
After a long Debate;
The Question was put, "Whether to agree with

It was Resolved in the Negative.
After this, the House entered into another Clause

And, after some Debate thereof, it is ORDERED,
