We, the Subscribers, Freeholders and Inhabitants "of the Town of Eye, in the County of Westchester, " being much concerned with the unhappy Situation "of public Affairs, think it our Duty to our King and "Country, to Declare that we have not been con- " cerned in any Resolutions entered into or Measures " taken, with regard to the Disputes at present subsisting with the Mother Country; we also testify " our dislike to many hot and furious Proceedings, in " consequence of said Disputes, which we think are " more likely to ruin this once happy Country, than "remove Grievances, if any there are.

" We also declare our great Desire and full Reso- " lution to live and die peaceable Subjects to our " Gracious Sovereign, King George the Third, and his '' Laws.
