The Papists Oath of Secrecy, Administered to those who Engage in the present Plot: Discovered by Mr. Robert Bolron, since his Conversion from the Romish Religion, (to whom William Rushton, A Popish Priest had given it, 2d. Febr. 1676/7. at Barmbowhall in Yorkshire, out of whose Breviary he then Transcribed it.) ✚ In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. I Robert Bolron, being in the Presence of Almighty God, the Blessed Mary ever Virgin, the blessed Michael the Archangel, the Blessed St. John Baptist, the Holy Apostles St. Peter and St. Paul, and all the Saints in Heaven, and to you my Ghostly Father; Do declare, and in my Heart believe the Pope, Christ's Vicar General, to be the True, and only Head of CHRIST'S CHURCH here on Earth, and that by Virtue of the Keys of Binding and Losing, given his Holiness by our SAVIOUR CHRIST, he hath Power to Depose all Heretical KINGS and PRINCES, and cause them to be Killed. Therefore, to the utmost of my Power, I will defend this Doctrine, and his Holinesses Rights, against all Usurpers whatever; especially against the now pretended KING of England, in regard that he hath Broke his Vows with his Holinesses Agents beyond Seas, and not performed his Promises in bringing into England, the Holy Roman-Catholick Religion. I do Renounce, and Disown any Allegiance as due to the said pretended KING of England, or Obedience to any of his Inferior Officers and Magistrates; but do believe the Protestant Doctrine to be Heretical and Damnable, and that all are Damned which do not Forsake the same; and to the best of my power, will help his Holinesses Agents here in England, to Extirpate and Root Out the said Protestant Doctrine, and to Destroy the said pretended KING of England, and all such of his Subjects, as will not Adhere to the Holy See of Rome, and the Religion there Professed. I further do promise and declare, That I will keep Secret and Private, and not Divulge directly or indirectly, by Word, Writing, or Circumstance, whatever shall be proposed, given in charge, or discovered to me, by You my Ghostly Father, or any Other Engaged in the promoting of this Pious and Holy Design; and that I will be Active, and not Desist from the Carrying of it on: And that no hopes of Rewards, Threats or Punishments, shall make me Discover the rest concerned in so Pious a Work; And if Discovered, shall never Confess any Accessaries with myself concerned in this Design. All which I do Swear by the Blessed Trinity, and by the Blessed Sacrament, which I now purpose to Receive, to perform, and on my part, to keep Inviolable: And do call all the Angels and Saints in Heaven, to Witness my real Intention to keep This Oath. In Testimony whereof, I do Receive this most Holy and Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist. Jovis 16th. die Decembris, 1680.
