The prayer of this our Petition to the Throne that our most Gracious
Sovereign of his Great goodness will grant to us so much as may enable
us to purchase a Cow and two Sheep, which (if obtained) will make us comfortable
on our little farms. And as we conceive payment of this Our humble petition
is by no means equal to the vast expense of transporting so many of our
fellow subjects to Africa, we hope that the Royal favour through Your
Excellency's Care and patronage be extended to us.
And Your Petitioners as are duty bound will ever pray vie.
