THE PRESENTMENT OF THE GRAND-JURY , AT Justice-Hall , IN THE OLD-BAYLY , On the 16th of January , 1683. We the Jurors , Sworn to Inquire for our Sovereign Lord the KING , of all Offences committed in the City of LONDON , Humbly present ,

THat notwithstanding the many good Laws made for Retaining his Majesties Subjects in their due Obedience and Conformity to the Laws , and for the preventing of Conventicles , and unlawful Assemblies , on pretence of Religious Worship , which have in all times been found Dangerous to the Government , and Nurseries of Rebellion ; and of which we have lately seen the Cursed Effects in the late Conspiracy against the Sacred Life of our Lord the King , his Royal Brother and his most Ancient and most Excellent Monarchy . Notwithstanding these Laws many persons do yet absent themselves from their Parish Churches , and the use of the Sacraments of the Church , with Impunity . And frequent Conventicles are held , in which his Majesties Subjects are by Seditious and Disloyal Discourses withdrawn from their due Obedience .

Which mischiefes chiefly , as we conceive , arise by the general neglect of Church-Wardens , and Constables , who are entrusted by the Laws with the Prosecution of those Offences : And by reason of so many Nonconformists Preachers who walk , up and down the streets openly , and reside within the said City , contrary to the known Laws .

We do therefore earnestly Pray that this Honorable Court , would be pleased to take effectual care , that the said Laws be duly and strictly executed ; And that the Constables and Church-wardens be required for the future , faithfully and diligently , according to their respective capacities , to perform their Duties , according to their Oaths , and the Laws in that behalf provided .

And we farther take notice of the too great and general abuse of the Lords-Day , by the great resort of persons to Taverns , Coffee-Houses , and Tippling-Houses , especially in time of Divine Service and Sermon . And therefore pray that you would be pleased to cause the said Officers to do their Duties therein likewise .
