May it please Yr. Lopps

Wee have considered the Petitions annexed of Mr. Wallis & Mr. Bovey, & belive that their Presses may be used in Coynage and tho' one or two Presses might perhaps be safely licensed, yet they may draw on more Petitions, and after the precedents of licensing these presses, it may be more difficult to refuse the rest: and it may be of ill consequence to licence t{illeg}oo many. But Wee humbly submitt the Whole to your Lordshipps Wisdome
