Whether it be not usurpation or incroachment upon the Jurisdictions Priviledges Preheminences or Authority granted or belonging to the Kings Highnesse and united and annexed to the Imperiall Crowne and so flatly contrary to the oath of Supremacy 2. Whether it be not an attempt if not a conspiracy made against either the Kings Person or his Crowne and Dignity and so fully contrary to the oath of Allegeance 3.

Quaer Whether the taking of a new oath and recommending and tendring it to others which is contrary to the oath of allegiance as this new oath is do not render the persons so doing guilty of the breach and liable to the penalty of that branch in that statute 3. Jacob. cap. 4. expressed in these words And further bee it enacted by the authority aforesaid That if any person or persons at any time after the tenth of June shall either upon the seas or in any other place within the Dominions of the Kings Majesty his heires or successors put in practise to absolve perswade or withdraw any of the Subjects of the Kings Majesty or of his heires or successors of this Realme of England from their naturall obedience to his Majesty his heires or successors or to reconcile them to the Pope or See of Rome or to move them or any of them to promise obedience to any pretended authority of the See of Rome or to any other Prince State or Potentate That then every such person their procurers counsellors ayders and maintainers knowing the same shall bee to all intents adjudged Traitors and being thereof lawfully convicted shall have judgement suffer and forfeyt as in cases of high Treason And if any such person as aforesaid c. shall be willingly absolved or withdrawne as aforesaid or willingly reconciled or promise obedience to any such pretended authority Prince State or Potentate as aforesaid That every such person or persons their procurers counsellors ayders and maintainers knowing the same shall be to all intents adjudged Traytors and being thereof lawfully convicted shall have judgement suffer and forfeyt as in case of high treason See the like stat 23.
