Is as followeth,

HE attended and solicited the last Parliament for several years, was at very great Charges in promoting the Woollen Manufactures: but more especially he first brought in by Sir George Downing the Bill for Burying in Wollen, which doth now enable us to make the best Paper, and followed the same at a great expence, till it was past into an Act, which hath proved very beneficial to the Kingdom: For which the Lord Chancelor granted him a Li­cence to Print the Affidavits, and so he printed them, the Warrants and Certificates, agreeable to the Act: which was all he could obtain for his great Pains and Charges. But since the Dissolution of the Parliament and the Expiration of the Act for Printing: several others do now invade his Priviledges, and the benefit intended him for his Pains and Charges wholly lost, and to his utter Ruin, unless now remedied and assisted by this Ho­nourable House, your Petitioner therefore humbly prays that it may be incer­ted into the now Enacting Clause, that is to be brought in for the making the Oath in the said Act more easy to the People that he should have the Li­berty to Print the said Affidavits, Warrants and Certificates and none o­ther, He felling them for a penny a piece, or what price this Honourable House shall think fit.

And if incouraged by your Honours, in this, then your Petitioner in all Humility is ready to attend this Honourable House, to propose that which will be twelve hundred thousand pounds a year in the Kingdoms way.
