And if any of yow shal be found negligent in performing these Orders abovesaid, or any other Orders hereafter made and devised; upon every Fault found, your Staves shal be taken from yow, and to be secluded for evermore for serving in those Roomes. Whereof assure your selves, without any Favour, or otherwise, to be punished according to the Governours Discretion.

This was pursuant of a former Act of Common Council, relating to the paving and cleansing of the Streets.
