They request the King's charter for this.2) They ask that they might be able to enclose their house with a palisade or other boundary, for its security.3) They ask for full guard of their ditch insofar as it lies within the bounds of their house, so that the burgesses do not meddle with it and harass them, as they have done in the past.
