Those marked * have, on the 14th of July, 1775, sworn to abide by the measures of the Continental Congress.
Whereas we, the subscribers, have refused to sign the Association within the time limited by the Provincial Congress; and whereas our troubles with the Mother Country continue to increase, and we are now convinced that we have no other alternative left but to repel force by force, or submit to be slaves. Sensible that this is our deplorable situation, and in order to continue to link our chain of friendship still more firm, and to convince our friends, and the friends of American liberty in general, we do hereby solemnly and sincerely swear, on the Holy Evangelists, that we will from hence heartily agree and consent to whatsoever our Continental and Provincial Congresses have or may do, direct, ordain, and appoint, for the preservation of our constitutional liberties, and that we will, as much as in us lies, discourage the spirit of opposition that has too unhappily prevailed in some parts of this Country; that we will, from time to time, bear and pay our quota of all expenses, with the rest of our brethren in America, that have already or hereafter may accrue, in defending our liberties aforesaid. And we do hereby further swear, that we make this declaration and oath of our own free will and voluntary consent; and in testimony whereof, we have have hereunto set our hands this 14th day of July, A. D. 1775.

We lament, gentlemen, that it is our unhappiness that there is such a number of the latter, and a number among them who are the most daring, presumptuous villains, often threatening lives, properties, and individuals, damning Congresses and Committees, declaring they will join our enemies, if opportunity presents, and by the general spirit they discover, we conceive ourselves exposed to their bloody principles, unless some method can be fallen upon for the preventing them in
