Addenda.
I A. B. do swear, That I do from my Heart
abhor, detest and abjure as impious and
heretical, that damnable Doctrin and Position, That Princes excommunicated
or deprived
by the Pope, or any Authority of the Sea of Rome may be deposed
or murthered
by their Subjects, or any other whatsoever. And I do declare, That
no Foreign Prince,
Person, Prelate, State or Potentate hath, or ought to have any Jurisdiction,
Power,
Superiority, Preeminence or Authority Ecclesiastical or Spiritual within
this Realm.
So help me God, &c.
