Kent ss. WHereas (by Warrant under* 1.1 my hand and seal) the Church-wardens of the Parish of A. in the said County were lately by me commanded to levy three shillings by Distress and Sale of the Goods of B. C. of the Parish of A. in the said Coun∣ty, (to be imployed to and for the use of the Poor of that Parish) for that he did not upon Sunday the second day of May, nor upon Sun∣day then next following, nor upon Sunday then next following, resort or repair to any Church, Chapel, or other usual place appoin∣ted for Common Prayer, and there hear Di∣vine Service, (according to the form of the Statute in that behalf made;) and the Church∣wardens aforesaid have returned to me, that the said B. C. hath no Goods or Chattels suffi∣cient for the levying of the moneys aforesaid: These are therefore (in His Majestie's name) to will and require you, that you, some or one of you, do take the aforesaid B. C. and him safely convey to His Majestie's Gaol aforesaid, and him there deliver to the Keeper of the same, (together with this Precept.) Comman∣ding also you, the said Keeper, to receive him into the said Gaol, and him there safely keep, untill payment shall be made of the moneys

aforesaid. Hereof fail not at your perils. Gi∣ven under my hand and seal the, &c.
