APPENDIX (C.) N° 56

THE OATH OF THE GOVERNOR SINCE THE REVESTMENT.

I JOHN WOOD, Esquire, do swear, that I will truly and uprightly deal between our Sovereign Lord the King and his subjects within this Isle, and as indifferently between party and party as this staff now standeth, so far as in me lyeth ; and when I think it necessary, will call together the Council of this Isle, or so many of them as shall be present within the same, and advise with them in any matter that may concern the State and Government thereof; and that I will do and perform, as far as in me lyeth, these and all other things appertaining to the Government of this Isle, and the post and office of Governor-in-Chief and Captain-General, according to the purport and extent of my commission. So God me help, and by the contents of this Book.
