•mnes qui illt quomodocunque juraverunt, à […] amento huiusmod• ac omni prorsus domin••• fidelitatis, & obsequij debito, perpetuò absolutos declaramus: We pronounce that ⟨p. 102⟩all, whosoever by any occasion have taken their oath unto her, are for ever discharged of such their oath, and also from all fealty and service, which was due to her by reason of her government. Doth Pope Pius know what an oath meaneth? Doth he know what it is to swear by the name of God? An oath is a solemn promise made between men, wherein God (who knoweth the secrets of the heart) is called to witness of the doing. As for example: we have taken this oath. I will be a true and liege Subject to our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth, I will neither in word nor deed procure her evil, I will not conceal any treason or conspiracy against her, and this do I promise, as I hope to be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ: and I take witness to this of God, who seeth the singleness of my heart, beseeching him to avenge it upon me, to put my name out of the book of the living, and to give me no portion in the kingdom of Christ, & of God, if I willingly or wittingly break this my promise. ⟨p. 103⟩Such is the oath, which we have taken to her highness.
