Certain Quaeres propounded, and sent by the Divines of Oxford to the Synod now assembled at Westminster, desiring their Resolutions upon them, concerning the Oath published now to be taken.  
I. WHether the imposing the second clause in this Oath upon a man's Consciencc concerning the Plot lately discovered do not very much resemble the damnable Inquisition, seeing it compels a man to be his own Acouser?  
II. What is meant by that equivocating term, namely, According to my vocation, in the fourth clause?  
III. Wether I may lawfully, and with a good Conscience swear that the two Houses have taken up just and lawful defensive arms? whether (according to their Protestation lately taken) they do endeavour to defend the Protestant Religion according to the Law established seeing that there amongst them some part of it is reviled and scoffed at without reproof, and also a Synod of Divines called to alter the frame of this Church government (and using the Parliaments own words) to frame it nearer to the Discipline of the kirk of Scotland?  
IV. Whether by taking this Oath, we do not renounce our former Oath taken in the late Protestation, namely, to maintain, His Majesties now endangered Person, His decaying Honour, and His despised Prerogative, seeing we swear to fight against the Company where His Person is, and against those raised by His Authority?  
V. Whether all the King's Army be Papists, or what part of it, or where the Popish Army is that we must see disbanded before we lay down our arms?  
VI. Whether the King do declare himself ready to maintain the Popish Religion, or the Protestant Religion establisbed by Law in this kingdom, and why we may not believe him?  
VII. Whether the Protestant Religion now established by Law in this kingdom, be the true Protestant or no, and what Protestant Religion it is that I must swear to maintain?  
VIII. Whether I may lawfully and with a safe conscience swear that clause in the Oath That to the utmost of my power I will assist all other persons that shall take this oath, in whatsoever they shall do in pursuance of it?  
All these Quaeres being fully answered, and our consciences being well satisfied by sufficient Reason & Scripture, we shall be as willing as any other to take this Oath, or any other that may conduce to the good and happiness of this kingdom.
