Every person, permitted or required to take an oath in any case, where, by law, an

of taking an oath, shall, instead of an oath, be permitted to make solemn affirmation
or declaration in one of the following forms, to wit: “I, ․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․, do solemnly, sincerely and truly declare and affirm”: or, “I, ․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․․, do declare, in the presence of Almighty God, the witness of the truth of what I
say”: Either of which forms shall be as good and effectual in law, as an oath taken in the
