Oath, Burgess
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
an old oath in some Scottish burghs. It was:
"Here I protest before God and your lordships that I profess and allow with my heart the true religion presently professed within this realm, and authorized by the laws thereof: I shall abide thereat, and defend the same to my life's end, renouncing the Roman religion called papistry."
