I furthermore promise and declare that I will, when opportunity present, make and wage relentless war, secretly or openly, against all heretics, Protestants and Liberals, as I am directed to do, to extirpate and exterminate them from the face of the whole earth;
and that I will spare neither age, sex or condition; and that I will
hang, waste, boil, flay, strangle and bury alive these infamous
heretics, rip up the stomachs and wombs of their women and crush their
infants’ heads against the walls, in order to annihilate forever their
execrable race.
That when the same cannot be done openly, I
will secretly use the poisoned cup, the strangulating cord, the steel
of the poniard or the leaden bullet, regardless of the honor, rank,
dignity, or authority of the person or persons, whatever may be their
condition in life, either public or private, as I at any time may
be directed so to do by any agent of the Pope or Superior of the
Brotherhood of the Holy Faith, of the Society of Jesus.
In confirmation of which, I hereby dedicate my life, my soul and all
my corporal powers, and with this dagger which I now receive, I will
subscribe my name written in my own blood, in testimony thereof; and
should I prove false or weaken in my determination, may my brethren and
fellow soldiers of the Militia of the Pope cut off my hands and my feet,
and my throat from ear to ear, my belly opened and sulphur burned
therein, with all the punishment that can be inflicted upon me on earth
and my soul be tortured by demons in an eternal hell forever!
