In the Handwriting of Secretary Simon Bradstreet
last Colonial Governor of Massachusetts Bay]
The text of the Oath given above is that given in the body of the Colony
Records, in the handwriting of Simon Bradstreet, the Secretary, and
differs only in the spelling of words from that of the transcriber (who
may have been Secretary Bradstreet himself) of the copy in the
Miscellaneous Records, which were transferred by the Compiler from their
regular order to the end of the first volume of the Records at page 354.
