1778 AMERICAN LOYALTY
OATH
I do swear I do not
hold myself bound to yield any allegiance or obedience
to the King of Great
Brittain, his heir or successors ; And that I will be true
and faithful to the United
States of America. And will to the utmost of my power,
support, maintain and
defend the freedom and independence thereof and the
Government now
established against all open enemies and secret and
traitorous conspiracies
and will use my utmost endeavors to disclose and
make known to the
Governor of attempts against this Government which may
come to my knowledge,
So help me God.
