(as in the Case) agreed, and contracted with Richard Chi [..]
junior for an house and yard in great Queen Street St Giles
in the Fields for forty one years Building a Chappel there

sesion [..] again, leaveing his Wife and daughter to keep [..]
session: but these named in the Case not suffering any except
one, or two of your Honourable Bench to give her, or the
Child so much as a craft of bread, or a cup of cold Water
endeavouring to starve them there; nay they are so malici-
ously bent as to indile two honest neighbouring Women for
attempting to cary victuals to the destressed. It's hoped therfore
that this Honourable Bench will discharge the innocent
neighbours; and pilly the Cafe, and condition of your petitio-
ners Wife, and Child, possitively ordering these neighbours
or some other friend without interuption to cary them neces
saries till the Case is fairly decided by Law: if this canot be
granted: your Petitioner must (as he's advised) Address himself
to the Throne, and grand British Councell both for Justice
and mercy: so not doubting but that this Honourable Bench
will consider so as in Justice to discharge the innocent
and cause that the destressed be taken care of for wch
as in duty bound your Petitioner will ever
Pray
