property in reliance upon the assurances of affiant contained in this affidavit and otherwise; and
That affiant will testify, declare, depose, or certify before any tribunal, officer, or person, in any case now pending or which may
hereafter be instituted, to the truth of the particular facts hereinabove set forth.
