"Enemies to their King and Country"

There existed more subtle ways to ruin a man's life than tarring and feathering (though that certainly makes for better television, cf. Liberty's Kids, John Adams, etc.), and one of those ways was (surely) disseminating these men's names (and perceived offenses against liberty) throughout the local reading public. On the back page of the April 17, 1775 Boston Gazette, we find two instances of this, brought to us by a January convention* held in Sudbury, MA. (Sudbury is a town of approx. 18,000, which even now boasts of its "long colonial history" in its Wikipedia article. And yet longer may it be so!)

• One Isaac Jones of Weston, MA has been deemed by the convention "an Enemy to his Country." Mr. Jones keeps a tavern. However, there are two other taverns on the same road kept by "very worthy persons" (i.e., not Loyalists), and because these people are "very worthy," their taverns are surely "very well-accommodated." (Essentialization and the circular logic accompanying it, at your service since before 1775!) Mr. Jones, therefore, is encouraged to close his tavern; given the existence of the two other "very well-accommodated" taverns (and the implication that his tavern is not "very well-accommodated," due to his status as a "sordid Enemy"), his continued presence in Middlesex County is unnecessary.
• More ominously, those who insist despite this resolution on continuing to interact with Mr. Jones — or worse, to patronize his tavern — are warned (in no uncertain terms) that they will receive the same treatment!
• Some fifty-five men, all of whose names are printed in the paper (including three Isaacs, none carrying the surname Jones) in the same town covenanted, the previous November, to "learn the Military Skill" in order to better defend the Crown's authority in Massachusetts. One month later, forty of them (under pressure, surely) signed a declaration reading that they had disbanded their covenant, and that they held the acts of the Crown to be "unconstitutional" and "tending to enslave the British Americans," and that furthermore, they would "join with their American Brethren" in any battle against the forces of the Crown. The convention deems this retraction "satisfactory."
• However, the names of those fifteen men who did not retract their previous signatures are printed separately. Ten of them are (the clerk notes) minors, some of them as young as 14; nonetheless, they are all to be treated "Enemies to their King and Country." (I am not sure who their "King" is, here, given that these men are being singled out for their support of King George III.)
• Most ominously: "...[they] may depend on it, that whenever it shall be necessary to make a Sacrifice to the public Liberty, that the Vengeance of their injured Country will distinguish them among its first Victims."

*This should not be construed as the Gazette's having reported on the convention. Contrary to what this episode of Liberty's Kids would tell us, there was hardly any reporting going on at this time. The Gazette has (per usual) has merely printed the text of the convention's resolutions, incl. the clerk's signature. Note, however, that — as the paper of the Patriots — it doesn't print every convention's resolutions.
