My Lords and Gentlemen,

Quote:My Lords and Gentlemen, the Question is that [QUESTION]. May all that are of that opinion say Content; to the contrary, Not Content.

QUESTION should be whatever it is the division is called to decide, such as:

• this bill as presented shall be enacted
• that the resolution do now pass
• that the amendment do now be adopted
• the Question be now put
  

The learned Mr. Livingston might edit these as needed.

God save the King
