HIS MAJESTIES ANSWER to the Petition of Cornwall , At the Court at York , 26. June , 1642. HIs Majestie is so very well pleased with the duty and affection of this Petition , That He hath commanded me to signifie His good acceptance of it , and thanks for it to the County of Cornwall , and to assure them , That as He will be alwayes ready to increase the happinesse of His people , by consenting to such good new Laws , as shall be proposed to Him for their advantage , so He will be forward to venture His life in maintenance of the Religion and Laws established , which He doubts not , with the assistance of the Petitioners , and other His good Subjects , He shall be able to defend : His Majestie will be ready to grant such a generall Pardon to the Petitioners as they desire ; And will no longer expect the continuance of their duty and affection , then Himself continues true to those Professions He hath so often made of maintaining and defending the Religion and Laws of this Kingdom . Falkland . The Oath of Allegiance , Tertio Iac. cap. 4. I A. B. do truely and sincerely acknowledge , professe , testifie , and declare , in my conscience before God and the world ; that our Soueraigne Lord King Charls is lawfull and rightfull King of this Realm , and of all other his Majesties Dominions and Countries , and that the Pope neither of himselfe , nor by any authority by the Church or See of Rome , or by any other meanes with any other , hath any power of 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 Subjects of their Allegiance and obedience to his Majestie , or to give license or leave to any of them to beare armes , raise tumults , or to offer any violence or hurt to his Majesties Royall Person , State , or Government , or to any of his Majesties Subjects within his Majesties Dominions . Also I do sweare from my heart , that notwithstanding any declaration , or sentence of excōmuuication , or deprivation , made , or granted 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 See , against the sayd King , his Heirs or Successors , or any absolution of the said Subjects from their obedience : I will beare faith and true Allegiance to his Majestie , his Heirs and Successors , and him and them will defend to the utmost of my power , against all conspiracies and attempts whatsoever , which shall be made against his or their Persons , their Crowne and Dignity , by reason or colour of any such sentence , or declaration , or otherwise , and will do my best endevour to disclose and make knowne unto his Majestie , his Heirs and Successors , all treasons , or trayterous conspiracies , which I shall know or heare of , to be against him or any of them . And I do further sweare , that I do from my heart abhorre , detest and abjure as impious and hereticall , this damnable doctrine , and position . That Princes which be excōmunicated or deprived by the Pope , may be deposed or , murthered by their Subjects , or any other whatsoever , And I do beleeve , and in my 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 ministred unto me , and do renounce all pardons , or dispensations to the contrary . And all these things I do plainly , and sincerely acknowledge and sweare , according to these expresse words by me spoken , and according to the plaine and common sense , and understanding of the same words , without any equivocation , or mentall evasion , or secret reservation whatsoever . And I do make this recognition , and acknowledgement heartily , willingly , and truly , upon the true faith of a Christian : So helpe me God . The Oath of Supremacy , Primo Eliz. Cap. 1. I A. B. do utterly testifie and declare in my Conscience , that the Kings Highnesse is the onely Supreame Governour of this Realme , and all other his Highnesse Dominions and Countries , as well in all Spirirituall or Ecclesiasticall things or causes , as Temporall : And that no forraine Prince , Person , Prelate , State or Potentate , hath or ought to have any Jurisdiction , Power , Superioritie , Preeminence or Authority Ecclesiasticall or Spirituall within this Realme . And therefore , I do utterly renounce and forsake all forrain Jurisdictions , Powers , Superiorities and Authorities ; and do promise that from henceforth I shall beare faith and true Allegiance to the Kings Highnesse , his Heirs and lawfull Successors : and to my power shall assist and defend all Jurisdictions , Priviledges , Preeminences and Authorities granted or belonging to the Kings Highnesse , his Heirs and Successors , or united and annexed to the Imperiall Crown of the Realme : So help me God : and by the Contents of this book .
