to_o the_o honourable_a assembly_n of_o commons_o in_o house_n of_o parliament_n the_o humble_a petition_n of_o the_o waggoner_n or_o carrier_n of_o the_o city_n of_o oxford_n cambridge_n norwich_n colchester_n northhampton_n and_o other_o town_n and_o place_n within_o this_o realm_n and_o also_o of_o the_o clothier_n and_o tradesman_n use_v traffic_n and_o commerce_n in_o the_o say_a town_n and_o place_n humble_o show_v that_o the_o king_n majesty_n proclamation_n give_v at_o windsor_n the_o six_o day_n of_o august_n in_o the_o twenty_o year_n of_o his_o highness_n most_o happy_a reign_n over_o we_o of_o this_o his_o realm_n of_o england_n hereunto_o anneze_v be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n and_o grievance_n to_o your_o petitioner_n for_o relief_n whereof_o your_o petitioner_n about_o february_n last_o be_v twelve_o month_n do_v most_o humble_o petition_v the_o king_n most_o excellent_a majesty_n who_o thereupon_o be_v gracious_o please_v to_o refer_v your_o petitioner_n say_v grievance_n to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o his_o highness_n most_o honourable_a privy_a council_n unto_o who_o your_o petitioner_n repair_v with_o his_o majesty_n say_v gracious_a reference_n their_o honour_n be_v busy_v with_o more_o important_a affair_n have_v no_o leisure_n to_o consider_v thereof_o and_o so_o do_v nothing_o therein_o wherefore_o your_o humble_a petitioner_n be_v still_o molest_v and_o trouble_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o say_a proclamation_n if_o they_o go_v with_o their_o say_a wagon_n do_v most_o humble_o pray_v and_o beseech_v this_o honourable_a assembly_n to_o receive_v this_o their_o petition_n into_o consideration_n and_o to_o read_v their_o grievance_n and_o allegation_n hereafter_o follow_v import_v both_o a_o necessity_n and_o conveniency_n that_o wagon_n with_o four_o wheel_n shall_v rather_o be_v in_o use_n then_o cart_n with_o two_o wheel_n and_o to_o be_v a_o mean_n that_o the_o say_a proclamation_n may_v be_v call_v in_o and_o they_o at_o liberty_n to_o use_v their_o wagon_n with_o four_o wheel_n as_o in_o former_a time_n not_o carry_v above_o twenty_o hundred_o weight_n the_o six_o month_n in_o the_o winter_n season_n and_o they_o shall_v daily_o pray_v etc._n etc._n their_o allegation_n 1._o first_o a_o wagon_n or_o drug_n have_v four_o wheel_n will_v seldom_o or_o never_o overthrow_v whatsoever_o his_o load_n be_v because_o when_o one_o of_o the_o wheel_n do_v rise_v the_o other_o do_v incontinent_o pull_v he_o down_o again_o and_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o passenger_n and_o good_n that_o be_v therein_o and_o also_o the_o driver_n be_v in_o safety_n where_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o cart_n with_o two_o wheel_n will_v very_o often_o inevitable_o overthrow_n and_o in_o overthrow_v endanger_v the_o life_n of_o the_o passenger_n if_o any_o be_v therein_o and_o spoil_v hurt_n and_o soil_n the_o good_n to_o the_o loss_n of_o the_o owner_n market_n 2._o a_o waggon_n by_o reason_n of_o such_o his_o secure_a travel_n do_v make_v more_o speed_n on_o the_o way_n then_o a_o cart_n and_o be_v soon_o at_o his_o journey_n end_n and_o therefore_o seldom_o or_o never_o much_o benight_a where_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o cart_n for_o fear_n of_o be_v overthrow_v can_v make_v such_o speed_n and_o so_o be_v enforce_v to_o travel_v late_o in_o the_o night_n to_o accomplish_v his_o accustom_a journey_n to_o the_o exceed_a toil_n and_o danger_n of_o the_o carter_n 3._o by_o the_o convoy_n of_o wagon_n many_o passenger_n both_o man_n woman_n and_o child_n age_a lame_a and_o impotent_a person_n be_v carry_v to_o and_o fro_o from_o place_n to_o place_n as_o their_o occasion_n drive_v they_o dry_a and_o safe_a and_o that_o for_o a_o small_a charge_n which_o otherwise_o can_v not_o ride_v on_o horseback_n or_o travel_v on_o foot_n to_o the_o great_a ease_n and_o benefit_n of_o many_o of_o the_o king_n subject_n and_o profit_n to_o your_o petitioner_n the_o waggoner_n where_o on_o the_o contrary_a not_o any_o can_v be_v so_o convoy_v in_o cart_n without_o great_a peril_n and_o danger_n of_o their_o life_n by_o reason_n of_o overthrow_v whereof_o there_o have_v be_v lamentable_a example_n of_o certain_a person_n kill_v near_o ingerstone_n to_o the_o grief_n of_o the_o subject_n and_o loss_n to_o the_o waggoner_n 4._o a_o waggon_n may_v be_v guide_v by_o a_o slight_a and_o engine_n down_o any_o steep_a hill_n where_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o cart_n can_v and_o therefore_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o travel_v in_o all_o place_n 5._o if_o a_o waggon_n be_v set_v fast_o in_o a_o mire-pit_n the_o same_o be_v with_o less_o strength_n draw_v forth_o with_o the_o motion_n of_o four_o wheel_n than_o a_o cart_n can_v be_v with_o two_o wheel_n 6._o a_o waggon_n with_o four_o wheel_n have_v a_o load_n of_o thirty_o hundred_o weight_n lay_v upon_o the_o same_o will_v make_v a_o lesser_a cut_n or_o impression_n in_o the_o ground_n then_o a_o cart_n with_o two_o wheel_n have_v but_o twenty_o hundred_o weight_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o thirty_o hundred_o weight_n lie_v upon_o the_o four_o wheel_n viz._n seven_o hundred_o and_o a_o half_a upon_o a_o wheel_n and_o the_o cart_n two_o wheel_n bear_v ten_o hundred_o upon_o a_o wheel_n the_o weight_n of_o ten_o hundred_o upon_o a_o wheel_n do_v cut_v and_o sink_v deep_o in_o the_o ground_n then_o seven_o hundred_o and_o a_o half_a 7._o a_o cart_n will_v be_v drive_v and_o turn_v aside_o every_o way_n and_o so_o search_v out_o and_o run_v over_o the_o whole_a compass_n of_o the_o way_n and_o often_o time_n in_o turn_v short_a do_v make_v such_o a_o slough_n or_o cut_v in_o the_o ground_n that_o a_o load_n of_o stone_n will_v scarce_o fill_v up_o the_o same_o pit_n again_o where_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o wagon_n can_v turn_v out_o of_o the_o way_n but_o go_v straight_o outright_o 8._o it_o be_v a_o hindrance_n to_o the_o waggoner_n and_o almost_o a_o double_a charge_n to_o the_o merchant_n or_o tradesman_n use_v carriage_n that_o the_o waggoner_n be_v restrain_v and_o limit_v by_o the_o say_a proclamation_n that_o he_o may_v not_o carry_v no_o great_a load_n in_o the_o summer_n time_n when_o the_o way_n be_v impressible_a then_o in_o the_o winter_n season_n when_o they_o be_v almost_o impassable_a 9_o for_o that_o since_o the_o cessation_n of_o wagon_n with_o four_o wheel_n and_o recourse_n of_o cart_n only_o with_o two_o wheel_n experience_n show_v it_o to_o be_v true_a that_o the_o ride_v way_n be_v never_o a_o jot_n better_v or_o preserve_v but_o rather_o worse_a and_o impair_v therefore_o and_o for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a your_o petitioner_n do_v humble_o pray_v as_o they_o have_v pray_v last_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o foulness_n and_o badness_n of_o the_o high_a way_n be_v not_o cause_v through_o the_o recourse_n of_o cart_n and_o wagon_n without_o which_o the_o common_a wealth_n can_v be_v but_o for_o lack_v of_o due_a amend_v and_o repair_v in_o the_o most_o needful_a place_n in_o time_n convenient_a
