XVI. THE PROTESTANTES Oath of Alleageance.

I A. B. truly from my hart protest
That if Priestes be not by the King represt,
26

My self will rayse the people to effect
What he will not: and if he doe erect
Himself 'gainst God, I'll not regard his place,
But, rather then obay him, spit in's face.
If he himself giue ouer to the vice
Of lust, of riote, pride or auarice,
Or willfully infringe our feudall lawes,
And play the Tyrant, I will straight dispose,
As best I can, th'inferiour Magistrate
By peace or warr his fury to abate.
Which if, through want of courage, he refuse
The people shall attemptit: they shall vse
All meanes they can to worke his ouerthrowe,
Take him, arraigne him, and depose him to.
But if these fayle, we, in our iust defence,
Will suppliants be vnto some forraine Prince
T'assist vs with his ayd, that pulling downe
Our King, he, if we please, may take the crowne.
But if yet all these meanes defectiue proue,
Then I my self, inspired from aboue,
Either by poyson, pistoll, sword or knife,
Or such like wayes, will take away his life.
A deed soe farr from treason, as I sweare,
That he whoe kills a raging Wolf or Beare
Deserues lesse pay, for from this acte proceeds
Th'whole Kingdom's good; ô't is the best of deeds!
For all such kings as doe God's lawes, transgresse,
And to the same their fearfull subiects presse,
Of their due honour sull depriued be,
And th'subiects from their vs'd alleageance free.
And then we scourge them may with their owne rod.
All these and more I sweare; soe help me God.
