SIGNERS IN TEMPLE.
We, the subscribers, do hereby solemnly profess our entire willingness, at the risk of our lives and fortunes, with arms, to oppose the hostile attempts of the British fleets and armies against the United American Colonies, whenever, and to such a degree as such attempts of Britain may require.

| GEORGE START, |
To the General Assembly, or Committee of Safety, for New-Hampshire.
We produced to the inhabitants of this Town, in Town-meeting, the paper proposed by the Committee of Safety to be signed by the inhabitants of this Colony. Few, if any, of the inhabitants, were willing to engage and promise as there proposed, to oppose, by arms, to the utmost of their power, the hostile attempts of the British fleets and armies, as this seemed to the inhabitants plainly to imply far more than any common inlistment into the service, even engaging as soldiers directly and during the continuance of the war. As to exerting ourselves faithfully when engaged, this, at least, was within the compass of our power; but it did not appear to the inhabitants prudent or necessary for any, or in any degree lawful, for all thus to engage. The town directly adopted the form of Association signed on this paper, which they and we hope, expresses all required by the General Congress.
