Dr. Hersch,

Below are some sources which mention the influence of the Dutch Oath of Abjuration upon the U.S. Declaration of Independence, which you expressed interest in seeing in your last comment.

The Hague Online
"Among their influences was the Dutch declaration of independence, known as the Oath of Abjuration (Plakkaat van Verlatinghe), which was adopted by the Low Countries against the rule of the Spanish King Philip II in 1581."

The Zanesville Times Recorder
"The Declaration of Independence was influenced by the 1581 Dutch Republic declaration of independence, called the Oath of Abjuration."

Collinsville Alabama.net:
"The Declaration is heavily influenced by the "Oath of Abjuration" of the Dutch Republic and by the Discourses of Algernon Sydney, to whose legacy Jefferson and Adams were equally devoted."

Answers.com
"The Oath was a model for the American Declaration of Independence in 1776 and that of the Southern Netherlands in 1789/1790 (the United Belgian States)."

I realize that these sources are all a bit secondary: Should I find any primary, more scholarly ones, I'll post them.
