When the Petition first came over, an Accident had happen’d to the Paper that made it unfit to be presented,

Therefore a Duplicate was waited for, being expected in some other Ship.

Before that arriv’d Lord Hillsborough was gone to Ireland.

On his Return B.F. waited on him 5 several times, or rather endeavoured to wait on him, but was always refus’d Admittance, or his L[ordshi]p was deny’d.

In the mean time hearing that his L[ordshi]p had declar’d the Minister who propos’d the Repeal of that Act would deserve to be hang’d, and also that his L[ordshi]p talk’d of resigning, thought is best to wait a little longer.
