WE, whose Names are hereunto Subscribed, who have now joyned with the Prince of Orange, for the Defence of the Protestant Religion, and for maintaining the ancient Govern­ment, and the Laws and Liberties of England, Scotland, and Ireland, do engage to 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, Liberties, are so far secu­red to us in a Free Parliament, that we shall be no more in dan­ger of falling under Popery and Slavery; and whereas we are in­gaged in this Common Cause, under the protection of the Prince of Orange, by which in case his person may be expos'd to danger, and to the desperate and cursed attempts of Papists, and other Bloody men, we do therefore solemnly engage to God, and one another, that if any such Attempt be made upon him, we will pursue not only those who make it, but all their Adherents, and all that we find in Arms against us, with the utmost Severity of a Just Revenge, to their Ruine and Destruction. And that the Execution of any such Attempt, which God of his Infinite Mercy forbid, shall not divert us from prosecuting this Cause, which we do now undertake, but that it shall engage us to carry it on, with all the Rigour that so Barbarous a practice shall deserve.
