8. Among the Statutes
the observance of which

some which not being

14 Of the Statutes all which to the observance of which the oath are is sworn
to observe some are in print, and others not: those
which are in print are put into his hands: those
which are not in print he never sees. No reason is
assigned for the difference
8. When fresh statutes
are passed, the oath
does it extend to them
or not? If yes, these
are laws made with on
the ground of maturer
and more apposite
experience deprived of
a sanction applied

as Parliament directs. If he obeys the King in Parliament,
he is damned: or undergoes whatsoever it
may be, the future punishment ordained for perjurers.
11 Catholics notwithstanding
their protestations to the
contrary are accused of
setting up spiritual authority
in opposition to temporal.
The Catholics contrary to their most solemn and continual
declarations are accused of setting up spiritual
authority in opposition to temporal. In any instance
is a Catholic made to bind himself upon oath to any
such blind obedience as a man is here made to bind
himself promise
promise upon oath
by these Reverend
Protestants?
Does a Catholic by any
oath blind
