We then earnestly desire them, yea, and charge them by th'Othe they have taken to the Queen's Majesty, that they consider of this one special Admonition, that as they shall not work untruly, so shall they not keep close or secret any Man of the Company, or any other that shall work for them untruly; but shall forthwith reveal it to the Wardens.
