Summary
"Signed by order and in behalf of the Congress, John Hancock, President. Attest., Charles Thomson, Secretary."

Goff notes a difference in the placement of the imprint in two states of the broadside. In the earlier state the "P" of Philadephia is under the comma after Thomson's name, in the later state the "P" is under the "n" in Thomson's name.
