And I do further
swear (or affirm) that, to the best of my knowledge and ability, I

all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without
any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and
faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to
enter. So help me God."
The above oath shall also be taken by all the city and county officers
