For REGULATEING Neely inconveniences it is 
requisite that the Accompt Currant be otherwise 
altered and stated (Vizt.). 
First: That under the titles of Accompt Cur- 
rant in last bookes the Ballance of one paire of 
bookes be began in the new paire for those words 
are thus understood that such Accompts were 
currant or goeing on in last bookes and were 
brought to a rest to ballance the said bookes and 
thence to be carryed or transferred and gon on 
with in a new paire and the Stock Credit on rest 
of Accompt Currant in these last bookes to be 
entred to Accompt Stocks Credit and both sides of 
this Accompt entituled Accompt Currant shall 
ballance as that Accompt ballance doth in said 
last bookes and noe further Accompt to be entred 
to it for it serves only to begin the new paire of 
bookes from Ballance of the old : 
SxnconDLy: That the Accompt Currant be kept 
under the title of Accompt ant Fort St. 
George to the Credit of which Accompt shall be 
entred all the Cargoes received from England or 
by Consignments thence and all Bills drawn on 
the Honourable Company and such other Ac- 
compts as by the coarse of business fall to that 
Accompts Credit being received thence payd or to 
be payd there and due here and to the Debt of 
said Accompt shall be charged all the cargoes re- 
turned to England and consignments thither or 
to other Factoryes by order thence not to be re- 
turned hither againe and such other summes as 
will fall to be soe charged the rest of which Ac- 
compt Currant Fort St. George is to be cleered in 
every pair of bookes by Accompt Stock. The 
reason is because the Superiour is not Accoumpt- 
able to the inferiour and if you returne to the 
Accompt Currant more estate then you received 
you are not to demand the proceed thereof and if 
you return less the remainder lyes in stock for the 
disposal] of all which you must follow your orders 
from your Accompt Currant.
