The Royal Oath Bill

The Royal Oath Bill before the House of Commons, presented in order to take away the offense of so many Roman Catholics, does not demand that the king shall repudiate the Roman Catholic Church, but it does declare that he must be a faithful Protestant and so remain. The paragraph referring to that reads as follows:
"I do solemnly and sincerely, in the presence of God, profess, testify, and declare that I am a faithful member of the Protestant church, as by law established in England, and I shall, according to the true intent of the enactments which secured Protestant succession to the throne of my realm, uphold and maintain the said enactments to the best of my powers and according to law."
