An Oath to be administered unto all Officers, Souldiers, and such other persons as are or shall bee within the Garrison of Oxford.  
I A. B. do freely and from my heart swear, vow, and protest in the presence of Almighty God, That I do believe, and am in my heart and conscience persuaded that Robert Earl of Warwick, Ferdinando Lord Fairfax, Sir Thomas Fairfax, Sir William Waller, and Richard Brown Citizen and Woodmonger of London( commonly called colonel Brown;) as likewise the Earl of leaven( commonly called general less) and all other of the Scottish nation who have invaded this Kingdom, are all and every of them Traitors and Rebels against his Majesty and the Crown of this Realm: And that the Forces raised and serving under them, every, or any of them, or any Commission from one or both Houses at Westminster( commonly called the Houses of Parliament) are traitorous and Rebellious Armies and Forces; And that I will faithfully endeavour to resist and destroy the said Armies and Forces, and all other Armies and Forces now raised or to be raised by both or either of the said Houses, or any Member thereof, without his Majesties immediate authority: And also to preserve, defend, and uphold( as much as in me lieth) his Majesties sacred Person, his royal Issue, crown and Dignity, the true Religion established by Law, and just privileges of Parliament, against all attempts of the said persons and Forces, or any other. Also that I will use my faithful endeavour for the preservation and defence of this City and Garrison, and all other of his Majesties Forts and Garrisons, or Armies where I shall happen to be present, against the said rebellious persons and Forces, and against all other Forces whatsoever endeavouring in any hostile or warlike manner, to attempt, take, or enter into, or destroy his Majesties Garrisons or Forces, or any of them. And I do also swear that I will neither directly nor indirectly give any intelligence, or divulge or communicate any thing to the said Rebels or their adherents, that may hinder or prejudice the designs of his majesty or his Armies, or that may any ways advantage or further the designs of the said Rebels, but immediately to reveal and discover to some of his Majesties Privy council, or to some of the Commanders in chief in the Garrison where I am or shall be, all Plots, Conspiracies, Practices or attempts which have or shall come to my knowledge against his majesty or royal Issue, or any of his Majesties Forts, Garrisons, or Armies: land also to detect all Traytors and Rebels of whom I shall have knowledge or probable suspicion to have been aiding or assisting to the Rebels in this unnatural Rebellion, and shall faithfully endeavour to apprehended and bring to condign punishment all such Traitors and Rebels: And all this I do swear unfeignedly, according to the true and literal sense hereof, without any equivocation, evation, or mental reservation whatsoever. So help me God, and by the Contents of this Book.
