Humbly showeth that whereas your poor Petitioner being accustomed heretofore to keep an alehouse, by means whereof She hath maintained herself and six of her sons with meat, drink, and clothes when they were out of service, they being all six soldiers employed in the parliament service whereof one is lost, now your poor petitioner... being [suppressed from] brewing and selling ale, and she having no other means to maintain herself upon, and likewise being an aged woman and by reason of the infirmities that accompany old age she is not able to take pains as formerly, and so is altogether void of any means for her subsistence, and likely to fall into extreme want… We therefore whose names are subscribed to gather with your poor petitioner, humbly beseech your worships that you would be pleased to take the low condition of your poor petitioner into your consideration and that your worships would be pleased to permit and suffer her to brew and sell ale as she hath done formerly and we together with your petitioner will be bound to pray for your worships' health and happiness.
