This may certify, to all people whom it may concern, that I, the subscriber, am willing to do what is just and right to secure the privileges of America, both civil and sacred, and to follow the advice of our reverend Congress, so far as they do the word of God and the example of Jesus Christ; and I hope, in the grace of God, no more will be required. As witness my hand:

JOHN GARNSEY.
