<HEAD>The General
ASSOCIATION,
Of the Gentlemen of <HI>Devon,</HI> to his Highne&s;s
THE

<P>WE who&s;e Names are here unto Sub&s;cribed,
who have now joyned with the Prince of
<HI>Orange,</HI> for the Defence of the <HI>Prote&s;tant
Religion,</HI> and for maintaining the Antient
Government, Laws and Liberties of <HI>Eng|land,
Scotland,</HI> and <HI>Ireland;</HI> do ingage in Almighty God, to
his Highne&s;s the Prince of <HI>Orange;</HI> and to one another, to &s;tick
firm to this <HI>Cau&s;e,</HI> and to one another, in the Defence of it; and
never to depart from it, until our Religion, Laws and Liberties,
are &s;o far &s;ecured to us, in our <HI>Free Parliament;</HI> that we &s;hall
be no more in danger of falling under <HI>Popery</HI> and <HI>Slavery:</HI>
And as we are Ingaged in this common <HI>Cau&s;e,</HI> under the Pro|tection
of the Prince of <HI>Orange;</HI> by which means his Per&s;on may
be Expo&s;ed to Dangers, and De&s;perate, and Cur&s;ed Attempts
of <HI>Papi&s;ts,</HI> and other Bloody Men; we do therefore &s;olemnly
Ingage both to God and one another; that if any &s;uch At|tempts
are made upon him, we will per&s;ue not only tho&s;e who
make them, but all their Adherents, and all that we find in
Arms again&s;t us, with the utmo&s;t Severity, of a ju&s;t Revenge
to their Ruin and De&s;truction; and that Execution of &s;uch
Attempts, which God of his Mercy forbid; &s;hall not prevent
us from Pro&s;ecuting this <HI>Cau&s;e,</HI> which we now under take, but
that it &s;hall ingage us to carry it on, with all the vigor that &s;o
Barbarous a Practice &s;hall de&s;erve.</P>
