The true and only way of concord of all the Christian churches the desirableness…

Particularly to approve my fidelity to my Rulers, I renounce all doctrines and practices of Rebellion, sedition or Schism: I believe not that subjects may take up Arms or use any force or conspiracy, to violate the Rights, Authority or Persons of those in supreme Power over them: I believe not that by any Laws of God or Man the Bishop of Rome hath the right of Governing all the world, or all Christian Kings and Kingdoms, nor the King or Kingdom of England, in particular, in matters secular or religious; Nor that it is the duty of this Kingdom or the King, to subject themselves unto him and obey him: Nor that the said Bishop of Rome hath any true authority or right, to impose oaths on Kings or other temporal Lords, or otherwise oblige them to judge their subjects to be Heretics, who deny the Popes universal Supremacy over all the Churches on earth, or who deny that the universal Church hath any Visible Head but Christ; or who believe that the truly consecrated Bread and Wine in the Sacrament of the Lords Supper remain true Bread and Wine after the Consecration, or that believe they are not to be adored as their God, nor the Wine to be denied to the Laity communicating: Nor may the Pope oblige Kings or any others to exterminate, burn or kill or punish any such ⟨p. 290⟩as heretics, nor excommunicate Kings or temporal Lords for not doing it; nor depose them being excommunicated, nor give their Kingdoms or Dominions to others, nor authorize any to kill them, or to raise arms against them, and to invade their Countries by hostility: Nor hath he right or authority to forbid Kingdoms or Countries the public celebration of Gods worship, or holy Christian Communion; Nor to oblige any Rulers or others to destroy any as Heretics or judge them such, because they are so judged by the Pope or Councils; And I believe not that the Clergy are exempted from obedience to the Secular Powers, or from being judged and punished by them, by any Laws of God, or any valid Laws of man, not made or consented to by the said Powers: And I unfeignedly believe that if any Pope, or Council how great soever do decree, or assert any of these things which I have hereby renounced and disclaimed, or shall hereafter decree or assert any of them, they err, and sin against God in so doing, and are not to be believed therein, nor do oblige any thereby to obey them.

PArticularly to approve my fidelity to my Rulers, I renounce all doctrines and practices of Rebellion, sedition or Schism: I believe not that subjects may take up Arms or use any force or conspiracy, to violate the Rights, Authority or Persons of those in supreme Power over them: I believe not that by any Laws of God or Man the Bishop of Rome hath the right of Governing all the world, or all Christian Kings and Kingdomes, nor the King or Kingdome of England, in particular, in matters secular or religious; Nor that it is the duty of this Kingdome or the King, to subject themselves unto him and obey him: Nor that the said Bishop of Rome hath any true authority or right, to impose oaths on Kings or other temporal Lords, or otherwise oblige them to judge their subjects to be Hereticks, who deny the Popes universal Supremacy over all the Churches on earth, or who deny that the universal Church hath any Visible Head but Christ; or who believe that the truly consecrated Bread and Wine in the Sacrament of the Lords Supper remain true Bread and Wine after the Consecration, or that believe they are not to be adored as their God, nor the Wine to be denyed to the Laity communicating: Nor may the Pope oblige Kings or any others to exterminate, burn or kill or punish any such
