J K. K. Doe with firme faith beleeve and professe all and singular the Articles and points which the Catholique and Apostolick common Church beleeveth and confesseth, and to my dying, will by Gods grace maintaine and defend the same Faith against all Secularies, Jewes, Atheists, and Enemies whatsoever, even with the losse of life, estate and goods.

I doe now also, and in my Conscience sincerely beleeve and acknowledge, King CHARLES to be my Soveraigne Lord, and King of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland; whose priviledge and Prerogatives, and attribute Regall due unto his Imperiall Crowne and Royall Dignity. I promise and vow to God, to maintaine and defend by Gods grace, against all evill-affected persons; bee they of what Coun­try or Sect soever, even with the losse of life, estate and goods.

I promise and vow likewise, to be true to my poore oppressed Countrie, the Kingdome of Ireland, with the losse of life, goods and estate: and will indeavour to free it from the bondage and grievous govern­ment, and the oppressions under which it groaneth, by the meanes of Evill-officers and Ministers of Ju­stice: contrary to His Majesties gracious intentions.

I doe vow and promise to wrong no Catholique, nor challenge any state of Lands: if so they bee pos­sessed of it, before the Plantation begun in the yeare, 1610. nor any Lands possessed by any of them; since then he or they bought it or purchased it for money otherwise.

Item, further promise and vow to make no difference of dispacity betwixt the meere Irish, & them of the Pale, or betwixt the Irish, and the new Irish; be they of what standing, calling, or quality whatso­ever: so they be Professors of the holy Church, and Maintainers of the Countries, Liberties. All this, and every of the precedent Articles. I the aforesaid K. K. doe promise, vow, and sweare to maintaine, and cause all others, over whom I shall have power to maintaine and defend inviolate by Gods grace: so God helpe all these of his Gospell.
