I A. B. do truly and sincerely acknowledge, profess, testify and declare in my conscience, before God and the world, that our Sovereign Lord King George is lawful and rightful king of this realm, and all other His Majesty's dominions and countries thereunto belonging. And I do solemnly and sincerely declare, That I do believe, in my Conscience, That not any of the Descendants of the Person who pretended to be Prince of Wales during the Life of the late King James the Second, and, since his decease, pretended to be, and took upon himself the Stile and Title of, King of England, by the Name of James the Third, or of Scotland, by the Name of James the Eighth, or the Stile and Title of King of Great-Britain, hath any Right or Title whatsoever to the Crown of this Realm, or any other the Dominions thereunto belonging: And I do renounce, refuse, and abjure, any Allegiance or Obedience to any of them. And I do swear, That I will bear Faith and true Allegiance to His Majesty King George, and Him will defend to the utmost of my Power, against all traiterous Conspiracies and Attempts whatsoever, which shall be made against His Person, Crown, or Dignity. And I will do my utmost Endeavour to disclose and make known to His Majesty, and His Successors, all Treasons and traiterous Conspiracies which I shall know to be against Him, or any of Them. And I do faithfully promise to the utmost of my Power, to support, maintain, and defend, the Succession of the Crown, against the Descendants of the said James, and against all other Persons whatsoever, which Succession, by an Act, intituled, An Act for the further Limitation of the Crown, and better securing the Rights and Liberties of the Subject, is and stands limited to the Princess Sophia, Electoress and Dutchess Dowager of Hanover, and the Heirs of her Body, being Protestants. And all these Things I do plainly and sincerely acknowledge and swear, according to these express Words by me spoken, and according to the plain common Sense and Understanding of the same Words, without any Equivocation, mental Evasion, or secret Reservation whatsoever. And I do make this Recognition, Acknowledgement, Abjuration, Renunciation, and Promise, heartily, willingly, and truly, upon the true Faith of a Christian. So Help me God.
