APPENDIX VII

REBELLION ROLLS

[Box 2, Bundle 15]

 
Association for the preservation of the life and government
of William IV, 1696

The Association was ordered to be signed by "every housekeeper and lodger" throughout the County. The bundle, however, only contains the returns of the six parishes given below.

The form of the Association was as follows: -

"Whereas there has been a Horrid and Detestable Conspiracy formed and carried on by Papists, and other 'Wicked and Traiterous Persons, for Assasinating His Majesty's Royal Person, in order to incourage an Invasion from France, to subvert our Religion, Laws, and Liberty; We whose Names are hereunto subscribed, do heartily, sincerely, and solemnly Profess, Testifie and Declare, That His Present Majesty King WILLIAM, is Rightful and Lawful King of these Realms; And We doe mutually Promise and Engage to stand by and Assist each other, to the Utmost of our Power, in the Support and Defence of His Majesty's Most Sacred Person and Government, against the Late King James, and all his Adherents; And in Case his Majesty come to any violent or untimely Death (which God forbid) We do hereby further freely and unanimously Oblige our selves, to Unite, Associate, and stand by each other, in Revenging the same upon his Enemies, and their Adherents; and in Supporting and Defending the Succession of the Crown, according to an Act made in the First Year of the Reign of King William and Queen Mary Intituled, An Act declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject, and settling the Succession of the Crown ."
