THE OATHS OF ALLEGIANCE AND SUPREMACY.

The Oath of ALLEGIANCE.

I A. B. Do truly and sincerely acknowledge, profess, testifie and declare in my Con∣science before God and the World, that our Soveraign Lord King Charles is Law∣ful and Rightful King of this Realm, and of all other his Majesties Dominions and Countries: And that the Pope, neither of himself, nor by any Authority of the Church or See of Rome, or by any other means with any other, hath any Power or Authority to depose the King, or to dispose any of his Ma∣jesties Kingdoms or Dominions, or to Au∣thorize

any Foreign Prince to Invade or Annoy Him or his Countries, or to discharge any of his Subjects of their Allegiance and Obedience to his Majesty, or to give License or leave to any of them to bear Arms, raise Tumults, or to offer any violence or hurt to his Majesties Royal Person, State or Govern∣ment, or to any of his Majesties Subjects within his Majesties Dominions.

Also I do swear from my Heart, that not∣withstanding any Declaration or Sentence of Excommunication or Deprivation made or granted, or to be made or granted by the Pope or his Successors, or by any Authority deri∣ved or pretended to be derived from him or his See, against the said King, his Heirs or Successors, or any Absolution of the said Sub∣jects from their Obedience; I will bear Faith and true Allegiance to his Majesty, his Heirs and Successors, and Him and Them will de∣fend to the uttermost of my power, against all Conspiracies and Attempts whatsoever, which shall be made against his or their Per∣sons, their Crown and Dignity, by reason or colour of any such Sentence or Declaration, or otherwise; and will do my best endeavour to disclose and make known unto his Majesty, his Heirs and Successors, all Treasons and Traiterous Conspiracies which I shall know or hear of, to be against Him or any of them.

And I do further swear, That I do from

my heart abhor, detest and abjure, as impi∣ous and heretical, this damnable Doctrine and Position, That Princes which be excom∣municated or deprived by the Pope, may be Deposed or Murthered by their Subjects, or any other whatsoever.

And I do believe, and in Conscience am resolved, That neither the Pope, nor any person whatsoever, hath power to absolve me of this Oath, or any part thereof, which I ac∣knowledge by good and full Authority to be lawfully Administred unto me, and do Re∣nounce all Pardons and Dispensations to the contrary. And all these things I do plainly and sincerely acknowledge, and Swear accord∣ing to these express words by me spoken, and according to the plain and common sence and understanding of the same words, without any Equivocation or mental Evasion, or secret Reservation whatsoever: And I do make this Recognition and Acknowledgment heartily, willingly and truly, upon the true Faith of a Christian. So help me God, &c.

The Oath of SUPREMACY.

I A. B. Do utterly testifie and declare in my Conscience, That the Kings High∣ness is the only Supreme Governor of this Realm, and of all other his Highness Domi∣nions and Countries, as well in all Spiritual or Ecclesiastical Things or Causes, as Tempo∣ral: And that no Foreign Prince, Person, Prelate, State or Potentate, hath, or ought to have any Jurisdiction, Power, Superiority, Pre-eminence or Authority Ecclesiastical or Spiritual within this Realm: And therefore I do utterly renounce and forsake all Foreign Jurisdictions, Powers, Superiorities and Au∣thorities, and do promise from henceforth I shall bear Faith and true Allegiance to the Kings Highness, his Heirs and lawful Suc∣cessors, and to my Power shall assist and de∣fend all Jurisdictions, Priviledges, Pre∣eminences and Authorities granted, or be∣longing to the Kings Highness, his Heirs and Successors, or united and annexed to the Imperial Crown of this Realm. So help me God•• and by the Contents of this Book.

THE END.
