t'other, I will in return quote another piece of Law relating to Oaths,
extreamly for his advantage, for there is only this quibbling difference
between us, 'Tis a fault in us in swearing when we should not, and in
him for not swearing when he should; but that now he may have occasion
to say my Civilities are particular to him, I will make him do't.

I _J.C._ do sincerely promise and swear, that I will be faithful,
and bear true Allegiance to His Majesty King _William_: And I do

and Heretical, that damnable Doctrine and Position, that Princes
excommunicated, or depriv'd by the Pope, or any Authority of the
See of _Rome_, may be Depos'd or Murther'd by their Subjects, or
any other whatsoever.

And I do declare that no Foreign Prince, Person, Prelate, State
or Potentate, hath, or aught to have, any Jurisdiction, Power,
Superiority, Preeminence or Authority, Ecclesiastical or Spiritual,
within this Realm. _So help me God._

Divine Service, with the _Prayer_ for the _King_ in't, would give one a
little satisfaction as to the Doctors present opinion, for what he has
been, if you will but examine and scan it by his Book, tho it be a
Reforming Book, is I am sure very disputable; in one Page of it he seems
very zealous for the Protestant Reformation, and says, being very much
piqu'd at _Sir John Brute_'s putting on a Clergy-man's Habit in the
_Provok'd Wife_, _that the Church of _England_, he means the Men in her,
is the only communion in the world, that will endure such insolencies as
these_ [Footnote: Collier, p. 108.]; and this, tho it be somewhat
_Bonnerish_ again, and _Switcher_-like, yet however seems to leer of
