H. of C. aforesaid, Tailour, was (upon the first day of this instant August) by him con∣victed (by proof to him made according to an Act of Parliament, intituled, An Act to pre∣vent and suppress Seditious Conventicles, lately made and provided) of being present in the Barn of R. W. of W. in the said County of Sussex, Husbandman, and there did take up∣on him to preach or teach at a Conventicle, (the five and twentieth day of Iuly last past) under pretence of exercise of Religion in other manner than according to the Liturgy and practice of the Church of England, and contrary to the form of the Act aforesaid;
and that therefore, being thereof convicted as aforesaid, the said G.

H;) And that when you or any of you have so levied the said twenty pounds, (or any part thereof) that then you, they or he that hath so levied the same, do forthwith deliver the moneys so levied to the aforesaid W.

Aug. 1679. Annoque Reg∣ni Regis Caroli Secundi 31.
