and in the room are substituted 1st Fine 2dly In default of suffering, Imprisonment
for a year and a day, with Sureties at the expiration: & in default of sureties
Abjuration.
// The meaning of the word Venato
must be settled on in event of a Prosecution
on this Statute which is still

Faces, Visors, or otherwise disguised to the intent they should not be known, or of unlawful
