Tythingmen's Notice.

WE the subscribers, Tythingmen of the several towns annexed to
our names, having taken the Oath of Office, it becomes our
indispensable duty to see the laws of this Commonwealth, "for the
due observation of the Lord's Day," faithfully executed; which we
are determined to do as far as may be in our power. We,
therefore, call on all persons to abstain from the violation of
said laws; as they would avoid "the several penalties annexed to
the several offences therein described," and save us from the
painful necessity of a prosecution, which otherwise must
immediately follow.
