The Oath taken by the seamen of the revolted Ships.  
IN pursuance of the Covenant I have already taken, I A. B. do in the presence of Almighty God the Searcher of all hearts, solemnly vow and protest, That in the first place I shall heartily endeavour the freedom and Restauration of my sovereign Lord King Charles to all his full and just Rights: and will behave myself faithfully in the service of His Highness the Prince of Wales. Next I do vow all true obedience to my Lord High admiral the Duke of York, and that I will conform myself cheerfully to all his highness' lawful Commands which shall be for the service of his Royal Father: That I will hold no correspondence with the Enemy, but shall faithfully discover all designs that I can come to the knowledge of, of that nature; and shall endeavour with the utmost hazard of my life to defend and protect his highness' Person from all danger; nor will ever give consent to deliver him up without the King his royal Father's command, or his own consent. And as I shall be faithful and just in the performance of all this; so help me God, and the contents of this Book.
