I A. B. Do truly and sincerely acknowledge , profess , testifie & declare in my conscience before God and the world , that our Soveraign Lord King Charles is lawfull and rightfull 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 Sea 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 Majesties Kingdomes or Dominions , or to authorize any Forraign Prince to invade or annoy him or his Countries , or to discharge any of his Subiects 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 Government , or to any of his Majesties Subiects within his Majesties Dominions .

Also I do swear from my heart , that notwithstanding 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 derived or pretended to be derived from him or his Sea , against the said King , his Heirs or Successors , or any Absolution of the said Subiects from their Obedience ; I will bear faith and true Allegiance to his Majestie , his Heirs and Successors , and him and them will defend to the uttermost of my power , against all conspiracies and attempts whatsoever which shall be made against his or their Persons , their Crown and Dignitie , by reason or colour of any such Sentence or Declaration or otherwise ; and will doe 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 abiure , as impious and heretical , this damnable Doctrine and Position , That Princes which be excommunicated or deprived by the Pope , may be deposed or murthered by their Subiects , or any other whatsoever .

And I do beleeve 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 acknowledge by good and full Authority to be lawfully administred unto me , and do renounce all pardons and dispensations to the contrary . And all these things I do plainly and sincerely acknowledge , and swear according to these express words by me spoken , and according to the plain and common sense 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.
