The History of England from the
Invasion of Julius Cæsar to the Revolution of 1688

David Hume

Chapter 46, Footnote #19
Parliament obliges the king


The Parliament, this session, passed an act obliging every one to take the oath of allegiance---a very moderate test, since it decided no controverted points between the two religions, and only engaged the persons who took it to abjure the pope's power of dethroning kings. See King James's Works, p. 250.
