HEADS OF THE EXPEDIENT Proposed in the Parliament at Oxford, In lieu of the former BILL For EXCLUDING The Duke of York.  
I. THat the Duke of York be Banished during his Life, Five hundred Miles from England, Scotland, and Ireland, and the Dominions and Territories to them belonging.  
II. That the whole Government, both Ecclesiastical and Civil, shall upon the demise of the King, be vested in a Regent, for such time as the Duke of York shall Survive.  
III. That the Regent be the Princess of Orange, and in case of her Decease without Issue, or with Issue in Minority, than the Lady Anne.  
iv That if the Duke have a Son Educated a Protestant, than the said Princesses respectively shall succeed in the Regency, during the Minority of such Son, and no longer. Which obviates an incurable absurdity in the former Bill of Exclusion.  
V That the Regent nominate the Privy-Councel, and they to be, or not to be approved in Parliament, as shall be judged safest upon directing the drawing up of this intended Act.  
VI That notwithstanding these Kingdoms (out of respect to the Royal Family, and Monarchy itself) may be Governed by the said Regent, in the Name and Style of James the Second, etc. yet it shall by this intended Act be made Capital for any to take up Arms on his behalf, or by a Commission not Signed by the said Regent, or not granted by lawful Authority, derived from and under such Regent; or to maintain an Opinion, that the retaining the said Name and Style, shall in this case purge the disabilities imposed by this Act, or elude the force thereof.  
VII. That Commissioners be forthwith sent to the Prince and Princess of Orange, to take their Oaths that they will take upon them the execution of this Act, and that their Oaths be here Recorded.  
VIII. That all Officers, Civil and Military, forthwith take Oaths to observe this Act, and so all others from time to time, as in the Act for the Test.  
IX. That His Majesty would graciously declare, to call a Parliament in Scotland, in order to the passing the like Act there, and recommended the same; and the like to be done in Ireland if thought necessary.  
X. That in case the said Duke shall come into any of these Kingdoms, than he shall be, ipso facto, totally excluded, and shall suffer as in the former Bill, and the Sovereignty shall be forthwith entirely vested in the Regent, upon such his coming into any of these Kingdoms.  
XI. That all considerable Papists be Banished by Name.  
XII. That their fraudulent Conveyances be defeated.  
XIII. That their Children be Educated in the Protestant Religion.  
By this means these Three Kingdoms will be united in defence of the Protestant Religion, His Majesty's Person and Government, and a sure foundation laid of an effectual League with Holland, and consequently with the rest of Christendom, in opposition to the growing greatness of France.
