Oath of Allegiance to the State of New York, c.1785
I do hereby solemnly without any mental reservation and equivocation whatsoever, swear and declare, and call God to Witness (or if of the People called Quakers affirm) That I renounce and abjure all Allegiance to the King of Great Britain; and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the State of New York as a free and independant State; and that I will in all things to the best of my knowledge and ability do my duty as a good and faithful Subject of the State ought to do. So help me God.
