Then the petition or request of the bishops to the king, was read by the bishop of Glocefter, with a clear voice, in the name of the rest standing by.

Our lord and king, we beseech you to pardon us, and to grant and preserve unto us, and the churches committed to our charge, all canonical privileges, and due law and justice, and that you will protect and defend us, as every good king in his kingdom ought to be protector and defender of the bishops and churches under their government.

The king anfwered:

With a willing and devout heart, I promise and grant you my pardon; and I will preserve and maintain to you, and the churches committed to your charge, all canonical privileges, and due law and juftice. And that I will be your protector and defender to my power, by the affiftance of God, as every good king in his kingdom ought in right to protect and defend the bishops and churches under their government.

Then the king arose from his chair, and being attended by the lord great chamberlain, and fupported by the two bishops, and the fword of state carried before him, he went to the altar, and laying his hand upon the Evangelifts, took the oath following:

The things which I have here before promised, I will perform and keep. So help me God, and the contents of this book. And then kiffed the book.
