against_o the_o parliament_n be_v unlawful_a and_o the_o scripture_n bind_v i_o not_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o any_o unlawful_a thing_n therefore_o i_o may_v safe_o take_v this_o oath_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v i_o will_v not_o take_v upon_o i_o to_o determine_v the_o question_n of_o the_o lawfulness_n or_o unlawfulness_n of_o the_o war_n but_o leave_v that_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o

over_o the_o member_n and_o not_o the_o member_n over_o the_o head_n and_o that_o i_o also_o and_o all_o his_o other_o subject_n ought_v to_o perform_v if_o not_o active_a yet_o passive_a obedience_n to_o he_o in_o all_o cause_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n whatsoever_o furthermore_o the_o prophet_n jer._n say_v jerem_n 4._o 2._o thou_o shall_v swear_v in_o truth_n in_o judgement_n
