 the Petitioners are both under great fears without your Majesty s

Their most humble Petition therefore and only hope is that 

 your Majesty will be graciously pleased in contemplation of 

 both their desolate otherwise, and truly sad condition, to grant 

 them such terms of years in the said house, as may in some

 holding the said Sugar-house some certain term of years to have 

 recompense of his said expense of 700. bestowed upon your 

 Majesty s grounds, which he will leave after in good repair to 

 the improvement of your Majesty s interest. 



And your Petitioners as in duty bound shall ever with 



theirs pray, &c.
