We, the
under-named Subscribers, Members of the Protestant Dissenting Congregation of
Markethill in the County of Armagh, having observed, with the utmost affliction,
the desperate and wicked Attempts made by a number of our countrymen, of all
denominations, to throw this County into anarchy and confusion, by audaciously
preferring to trample under foot the Laws of the Realm, do, in the inert Solemn
Manner, declare our abhorrence of their unjustifiable proceedings, and take this
opportunity of making it known, that we are truly sensible of the ineffable
happiness we enjoy under the best of Kings, and the innumerable blessings which
have attended this Nation, by a due Execution of the Laws, since the Accession
of his Majesty’s Royal Family to the throne; and we also make this further
Declaration,
that we
will to continue to pay every mark of duty to his most Sacred Majesty, his Laws,
Magistrates and inferior officers, and, to the utmost of our power, aid and
assist in preserving the peace of our native Country and opposing all such as
shall wickedly and traitorously attempt to dissuade the same.
In Witness whereof we have hereto set our hands, this 31st of July, 1763.
