be_v read_v while_o my_o house_n be_v pull_v down_o as_o be_v prove_v by_o testimony_n 4._o i_o say_v that_o the_o chief_a of_o our_o opposer_n be_v those_o rich_a man_n who_o the_o poor_a commoner_n do_v petition_n against_o for_o over_o stocking_n their_o commons_o and_o do_v oppose_v we_o that_o they_o may_v still_o oppress_v the_o poor_a commonner_n 5._o we_o desire_v that_o they_o may_v be_v look_v on_o as_o man_n that_o ever_o have_v and_o still_o do_v decline_v the_o justice_n of_o this_o committee_n and_o parliament_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o many_o petition_n to_o leave_v they_o to_o law_n court_n when_o they_o know_v the_o parliament_n be_v the_o only_a competent_a judge_n of_o the_o case_n in_o question_n and_o our_o decree_n not_o reversable_a but_o in_o parliament_n 6._o that_o they_o may_v be_v look_v on_o as_o man_n that_o do_v abuse_v the_o trust_n repose_v in_o they_o by_o those_o of_o the_o country_n who_o do_v employ_v they_o with_o false_a report_n of_o their_o proceed_n at_o the_o committee_n and_o do_v seek_v private_a interest_n under_o colour_n of_o a_o public_a good_a their_o main_a design_n be_v to_o out_o we_o that_o have_v do_v the_o work_n and_o to_o become_v drainer_n themselves_o who_o have_v drown_v the_o fen_n at_o this_o day_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o last_o summer_n presentment_n now_o before_o you_o 7._o the_o drainer_n do_v humble_o desire_v that_o if_o it_o shall_v have_v happen_v that_o any_o miscarriage_n in_o the_o earl_n overseer_n of_o his_o work_n or_o if_o there_o shall_v have_v be_v any_o mistake_n of_o a_o word_n in_o law_n that_o may_v make_v our_o title_n a_o mote_n point_n that_o for_o this_o all_o we_o who_o be_v adventurer_n and_o purchaser_n with_o the_o earl_n of_o lindesey_n may_v not_o on_o so_o nice_a a_o point_n be_v utter_o ruin_v with_o our_o whole_a family_n after_o the_o expense_n of_o 80000_o l._n by_o which_o the_o commonwealth_n be_v much_o enrich_v 8._o we_o humble_o desire_v that_o if_o any_o man_n have_v receive_v prejudice_n by_o the_o drain_n or_o any_o be_v injure_v by_o the_o drainer_n or_o their_o agent_n that_o such_o injury_n may_v be_v proy_v and_o we_o do_v submit_v to_o make_v such_o satisfaction_n as_o this_o committee_n or_o the_o parliament_n shall_v appoint_v 9_o we_o do_v also_o humble_o desire_v the_o like_a justice_n and_o satisfaction_n from_o those_o that_o have_v destroy_v we_o and_o our_o work_n by_o such_o unexampled_a riot_n i_o may_v say_v by_o such_o ingratitude_n and_o so_o barbarous_a a_o malice_n that_o no_o civilise_a nation_n can_v parallel_v and_o it_o be_v worthy_a consideration_n that_o if_o multitude_n of_o man_n shall_v be_v suffer_v to_o pull_v down_o house_n at_o their_o will_n which_o be_v erect_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o decree_n of_o sewer_n they_o may_v do_v as_o much_o against_o a_o decree_n of_o chancery_n and_o then_o where_o be_v our_o property_n so_o much_o talk_v of_o 10._o we_o humble_o desire_v that_o sir_n johu_n maynard_n may_v be_v consider_v as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o those_o fen_n now_o in_o question_n but_o do_v oppose_v we_o in_o hope_n after_o our_o overthrow_n if_o this_o design_n take_v effect_n to_o repeal_v bedford_n act_n but_o we_o do_v hope_v the_o commonwealth_n good_a will_v be_v prefer_v before_o his_o private_a design_n and_o that_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n will_v not_o be_v so_o easy_o blow_v away_o by_o he_o 11._o and_o whereas_o some_o man_n do_v say_v that_o the_o drainer_n be_v much_o enrich_v by_o this_o work_n i_o do_v acknowledge_v that_o myself_o have_v the_o great_a share_n of_o all_o the_o participant_n and_o i_o do_v only_o desire_v to_o pay_v my_o just_a debt_n due_a before_o this_o war_n begin_v to_o provide_v for_o my_o wife_n and_o child_n in_o a_o very_a moderate_a way_n and_o to_o have_v but_o two_o hundred_o pound_n a_o yea●_z for_o myself_o if_o any_o man_n that_o envize_v my_o estate_n will_v do_v this_o i_o will_v quit_v all_o my_o interest_n in_o the_o fen_n to_o he_o and_o whatever_o else_o i_o have_v in_o england_n and_o account_v he_o the_o best_a friend_n i_o ever_o meet_v with_o 12._o and_o last_o we_o humble_o desire_v that_o we_o may_v be_v restore_v to_o our_o possession_n in_o those_o fen_n between_o bourne_n and_o kime-eae_n and_o set_v in_o the_o same_o condition_n we_o be_v when_o the_o first_o complaint_n be_v prefer_v to_o the_o parliament_n and_o that_o the_o earl_n undertake_v may_v be_v confirm_v by_o a_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o in_o justice_n it_o shall_v be_v we_o have_v
