THE IRISH REBELS COVENANT.  
1 N. N. Do with firm faith believe and protest all and singular the Articles and Points which the Catholics and Roman Church believeth and confesseth, and to my dying day will by God's grace maintain and defend the same faith against all Sectaries, Jews, Atheists, and enemies whatsoever, even with the loss of life, estate and goods.  
2 I also in my conscience believe and acknowledge King Charles to be my▪ Sovereign Lord and King of England, Scotland, France and Ireland, whose privileges, prerogatives, attributes regal due to his imperial Crown and royal dignity, I promise and vow to God to maintain and defend by God's grace against all ill-affected persons, be they of what Country or Sect whatsoever, to the loss of life, estate and goods.  
3 I promise and vow likewise to be true to my poor oppressed Country, the Kingdom of Ireland, with loss of life, goods and estate, and will endeavour to free it from the Bondage and grievous govemment and oppressions under which it groans by the means of evil Officers and Ministers of Justice, contrary to his Majesty's most gracious intentions.  
4. I do vow and promise to God, to wrong no Catholic nor challenge any estate or Lands, if so they be possessed of the same before the plantation began in the year 1610. or any Lands possessed by them, since then, so he or they bought the same or purchased it for money or otherwise.  
5 Item I further promise and vow to make no difference of or disparity between the mere Irish, and them of the pale, between the old Irish and new Irish, be they of what standing, calling, or quality whatsoever so they be professors of the holy Church and maintainers of their Country's liberties. All these and every precedent Article, I the said N. N. do promise, vow and swear to maintain, and cause all others over whom I shall have power, to maintain and defend inviolable by God's grace. So God help those of his Gospel.
