- Two versions of the oath required of the Bishop of Man in 1608 under James I, showing the shift from allegiance to the heirs of the Isle to specific English nobles (Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury and Lord Treasurer; Thomas Howard, Earl of Suffolk; and William Stanley, Earl of Derby). Demonstrates the evolving constitutional relationship between the Isle of Man and English Crown interests, and the role of powerful English lords in governing the island.
