• In Ye Borough of North Manchester, On Ye 19th Day of November.  Ye Doors Will be Open at Earlie Candle Light.  Ye Synging Will Begin at 7:45 by Ye Tymebeater's watch.
• N. B.  Lester Bowser will attend to ye snuffin' of ye candles.
• N. B.  If at any tyme ye desire to heare ye sweet strains again, ye will clap ye hands and not stampe or scrape ye unseemlie.
