BEFORE ME
If this appears at the beginning of a section of a legal document (it usually takes this form), its a formula equivalent to:
BEFORE ME, ... Notary Public of ... have appeared:
ONE THE ONE HAND, Party X....
AND ON THE OTHER HAND, Party Y...
In this sense, it means to appear (before a court, judge or authorized civil servant).

Podria dar un poco de contexto?
La preferencia dependera de la clase de documento. De que se trata? "Witnesseth" generalmente se usa al principio de un contrato u otra clase de acuerdo. "Comparece" en el sentido de "Appears" generalmente se refiere a la presencia de una parte a algo (litigacion, etc.) Pero no podria estar segura sin saber de que clase es el documento.

To appear in court = comparecer
Quien comparece ante un tribunal, no necesariamente lo hace como testigo (witness); por lo tanto "appears" puede usarse como tal y no como una opción de la palabra testigo.

THERE APPEAR

Appear (plural) o appears (singular)
NO es lo mismo que Witness (testigo o atestiguar). Ej: THERE APPEARS MR. Gonzalez, represented by his legal counsel" Comparece el Sr. Gonzalez, representado por su apoderado (abogado, etc.)
Tambien puede usarse "COMPARECE(N) por ante mi....depende del resto del contexto. Es una terminologia muy formal utilizada en documentos legales.
Buena suerte!
