The National Assembly has decreed that all soldiers composing the King's body guard, should take an oath—to be faithful to the nation, the law and the King—to maintain the Constitution of the kingdom—to watch over the security of the King's person, and to obey no order or requisition foreign to the purpose for which they were embodied.

This guard is not to follow the King, if he establishes his residence more than twenty leagues from the place of the Assembly's meeting, and on no account whatever are they to attend him out of the kingdom.
