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.

N. B.  Ye syngers will bring ye tune books, and slippery elm for ye voice, less they syng falslie.

N. B.  A solemn silence should prevade ye assembly; yet peradventure some of ye tunes be funny, a little laughter may be indulged, but ye listeners are not to think they can do better than ye syngers.
