1I. N. Bishop from this hour forward shall be faithful to s. Peter, and to the holy Apostolic Church of Rome ⟨p. 25⟩and to my Lord. N. the pope, and to his successors that enter in according to the rule of the Canons. I shall not be neither in counsel nor in deed, that he should lose his life, or member, or otherwise be evil entreated. The counsel, which either by himself, or by letters, or by any messenger he shall open unto me,2 I shall declare it to no man unto his hindrance. The papacy of the Church of Rome, and the rules of the holy Fathers, I shall be an helper to defend and to maintain (my order being safe) against all men. 3Being called unto any Synod or coū cell, I shall come, except I have a lawful let. The legate of the Apostolic sea, whom I shall know to be certain, I shall honourably entertain both at his coming and at his departure or going away. The churches of the Apostles (at Rome) I shall visit every year, either by my self, or by some sure messenger, except I obtain licence (of the holy Father) to the contrary. So God help me, & these holy Gospels of God.
1I. N. Byshop frō this houre foreward shall be faythfull to s. Peter, and to the holy Apostolique Church of Rome ⟨p. 25⟩
