abjuration

This having been read, he next had to read word for word the abjuration which had been drawn up for him, and then sign it.

Copies of the abjuration were immediately sent to all Universities, with instructions to the professors to read it publicly.

They even accepted the general's excuse for not at once taking the Oath of Abjuration.

The Oath of Abjuration was tendered to him and he refused it.
