The Humble Presentment of the Grand Jury at the said Sessions, as followeth.  
WE do present, That nothing like Union both in Church and State, can contribute to the happiness of this Government, and to its continuance, as it is now established by Law.  
That remissness both in Magistrates and Officers, as to the putting all Laws in execution against Popish and Protestant Dissenters is hurtful to the same.  
We do also present, That all persons whose Worship is contrary to the Liturgy and Practice of the Church of England, are equally dangerous to the Government; and that all Magistrates are under an equal obligation to put the Laws in execution, as well against Popish as Protestant Dissenters.  
We do also present, That where any Magistrates are observed to favour factions, and not to put the Laws in execution, as aforesaid, the King ought to be acquainted therewith, that his authority may not be made use of, to protect where it ought to punish.  
We do also present, That the names of all persons, whether Papists or Protestant Dissenters, known to be disaffected, consequently dangerous to the Government, aught to be represented to the Lord Lieutenant or his Deputies, to the end they may forthwith be disarmed, according to the Laws and Statutes of this Realm.  
We do further present, That the neglects of Constables, and other Officers, in putting the Laws in execution against Rogues, Vagrants, petty Chapmen and Scotch Pedlars is dangerous and prejudicial to his Majesty's Subjects, and especially to the Tradesmen of this Kingdom.   

WE his Majesty's Justices of the Peace of the said Riding, present at the said Sessions, do hereby declare our consent and concurrence with the Gentlemen of the Grand Jury, representing the body of the said Riding, in their abovesaid Presentment; and have resolved, in order thereunto, to use all diligent and lawful means of contriving to put the Laws in execution against all Dissenters, as well Popish as Protestant; persons, who though they differ in the manner, yet agree too visibly in the matter, of fostering and encouraging of Schism and Faction.  
We further Order, the like Warrants be sent out from this Sessions which were from the last, to all Chief Constables, Petty Constables, Churchwardens and Overseers of the Poor, commanding them, and every of them, to give an account in Writing, upon Oath, to the Justices of the Peace at the next Sessions, to be held at Pontefract, for this Riding, what Conventicles are held, and who are Dissenters, with their Names, in their respective Parishes, Towns or Hamblets, to the end they may be proceeded 'gainst, and prosecuted according to Law.  
We further Order, this Presentment be Printed, and one of them be affixed to every Warrant so distributed and sent out, to the end we may first rightly execute the trust reposed in us by his Sacred Majesty, in the execution of the Laws; and that all Dissenters, of either or any persuasion, knowing our resolutions herein, may have warning thereby to reconcile themselves to the Church, and to avoid the penalty of the Laws.  
And we further Order, That all persons that keep Alehouses or Victualling-houses, or other public Houses within the said Riding, bring a Certificate under the hand of the Parson of the Parish, or other Incumbent there, at the same time that they come to renew their Licences for the ensuing year, that they have duly repaired to their Parish Churches, and received the Sacrament, according to Law.
