BILAGA I.
Associationen i Exeter.
We whose Names are hereunto subscribed, who have now
joined for the Defence of the Protestant Religion, and for
maintaining the ancient Government, and the Laws and Liberties of
England, Scotland and Ireland, do engage, to Almigthy God,
to his Highness the Prince of Orange, and to one anotber, in
the Defence of it; and never to depart from it, until our
Religion, our Laws and our Liberties are so far secured to us, in
a free Parliament, ihat we shall be in no danger of falling
under Popery and Slavery.
And whereas we are engaged in this common cause, under
the Protection of the Prince of Orange, by which means his
Person may be exposed to the desperate and cursed Attempts
of Papists, and other Woody Men: We do therefore solemnly
engage both to God and to one another, that if any such
Attempts are made upon him, we will pursue, not only those, who
make them, but all their Adherents and all that we find in
Arms against us, with the utmost Severities of a just Revenge
to their Ruin and Destruction; and that the Execution of any
such Attempt (which God of his Mercy forbid) shall not divert
us from prosecuting this Cause, which we do now undertake;
but that it shall engage us to carry it on with all the
Vigour that so barbarous a Practice shall deserve.
At Exeter the 19:th Day of December 1688.

Commons, vol. XV, sid. 6.)
