Transcription
That through the obstruction of justice we have a long time groaned under the great burden of... unnecessary and disorderly alehouses which we have found by long and sad experience to be the very nurseries of all impiety and mischief, but now our eyes are set upon your worships as a sovereign and especial means of our relief herein. Humbly conceiving no necessity of any alehouse in the places above mentioned we being within two miles of Bolton and a mile and a half from Ratcliffe Bridge… May it therefore please your Worships to take the premises into your grave and judicious considerations and vouchsafe us the benign influence of Justice herein and your petitioners shall ever pray.
