the [West/North/East] Riding of Yorkshire [or City of York] declare;
? that Yorkshire is three Ridings and the City of York, with these Boundaries of 1124 years standing;
? that the address of all places in these Ridings is Yorkshire;
? that all persons born therein or resident therein and loyal to the Ridings are Yorkshire-men and women;
? That any person or corporate body which deliberately ignores or denies the aforementioned shall forfeit all claim to Yorkshire status.
