by one Pile, and that part of the Said Bridge is in very<lb></lb>
great danger of falling down and that if any Barge or<lb></lb>
Craft Should by wilfulness accident or otherwise run against<lb></lb>
the Said Pile which now only support the Said great Arch<lb></lb>
and Should beat it down or out of its Trussell Head that<lb></lb>
great part of the Said Bridge for want of that little Support<lb></lb>
must inevitably fall which would not only put a total<lb></lb>
Stop & obstruction to all his Majestys liege Subjects from<lb></lb>
