The General ASSOCIATION, Of the Gentlemen of Devon, to his Highness THE Prince of Orange.  
WE whose Names are here unto Subscribed, who have now joined with the Prince of Orange, for the Defence of the Protestant Religion, and for maintaining the Ancient Government, Laws and Liberties of England, Scotland, and Ireland; do engage in Almighty God, to his Highness the Prince of Orange; and to one another, to stick firm to this Cause, and to one another, in the Defence of it; and never to depart from it, until our Religion, Laws and Liberties, are so far secured to us, in our Free Parliament; that we shall be no more in danger of falling under Popery and Slavery: And as we are Engaged in this common Cause, under the Protection of the Prince of Orange; by which means his Person may be Exposed to Dangers, and Desperate, and Cursed Attempts of Papists, and other Bloody Men; we do therefore solemnly Engage both to God and one another; that if any such Attempts are made upon him, we will pursue not only those who make them, but all their Adherents, and all that we find in Arms against us, with the utmost Severity, of a just Revenge to their Ruin and Destruction; and that Execution of such Attempts, which God of his Mercy forbid; shall not prevent us from Prosecuting this Cause, which we now under take, but that it shall engage us to carry it on, with all the vigour that so Barbarous a Practice shall deserve.
