The Association. June 30. 1.15.
The actual commencement OF hos
til ties against the Continent. by the
British troops, in the bloody scene
on the 18th of April last, near BOs-
ton, the increase OF arbitrary imposi
tions from q wicked and desDotic min
istry and the dread of instigated IN
sIrrectiOnS in the colonies. are causes
sufficient to drive an oppressed peo-
ri@ to the use OF arms. We. there
fore, the subscribers, of berland
county, holding ourselves bound by.
the most sacred of all obligations, the
duty OF good citizens towards an in
jured country, and thoroughly con-
vinced. that, under our distressed cir
cUmstances, we shall be justified in
resisting force by force do unite uor-
selves under every tie of religion and
honor. and associate as q band in her
defence against every foe, hereby
SOlemnly engaging, that whenever our
continental or provincial councils shall
decree it necessary, we will go forth
and be ready to sacrifice our lives and
fortunes to secure her freedom and
safety. This obligation to continue in
force until a reconciliation shall take
place between Great Britain and
America, upon constitutional princi-
Pies, an event we most ardently de-
sire; and we will hold all those per
sons inimical to the liberty Of the col
onles, who snail refuse to subscribe
TO this association; and we will in all
things follow the advice of our general
committee respecting the purposes
aforesaid, the preservation of peace
ana good order. and the safety of
lhnlVlduat and private property
