As to those admitted to theological degrees, I will judge strictly and speak with weight; I will not take this degree over again elsewhere; and with highest faithfulness and constant zeal I will do whatever seems to serve God's church, Christ's glory, and the help, honor, and growth of this faculty and school. So help me God through His holy Word.
I holy attest and promise that I will keep the oath written above, both by signing my name and by affixing my seal, 15 April 1702.
(L.S.) M. Christian Walther, Pastor of Sackheim, Assessor of the Sambian Consistory, and member of the Brandenburg Society of Sciences — in his own hand.

De iis, qui ad gradus Theologicos sunt admittendi, severè judicaturum & graviter pronunciaturum, hunc Gradum nullibi repetiturum & omnia quae ad Ecclesiae Dei utilitatem, ad Gloriam Christi, & ad hanc Facultatem atque Scholam juvandam, ornandam atque augendam, videbuntur spectare, summa fide & perpetuo studio facturum esse; Sic me Deus adjuvet per sanctum suum Verbum.
Juramentum suprà scriptum me fideliter servaturum, tam nominis mei subscriptione, quàm appresso Sigillo meo sancte attestor atque polliceor, d. 15. Aprilis Anno 1702.
