And employ our best endeavours to promove the same: And shall in no ways advise, voice, nor consent to any thing which to our best knowledge We think not most expedient and conducible thereto. As also, That We shall maintain and defend with our lives, power, and estate, his Majesty's Royal Person, honour, and estate, as is expressed in our Nationall Covenant. And likewise, the power and privileges of Parliaments; And the lawful rights and liberties of the Subjects: And by all good means and ways, oppose and indevoure to bring to exact trial all such as either by force, practice, counsel, plots, conspiracies, or otherwise have done, or shall do, any thing in prejudice of the purity of Religion, the Laws, Liberties, and Peace of the Kingdom: And further, that We shall in all just and honourable ways indevoure to preserve union and peace betwixt the three Kingdoms, of Scotland, England, and Ireland: And neither for hope, fear, nor other respect, shall relinquish this vow and promise.  
Decimo August. 1641.
