man_n shall_v open_v his_o mouth_n to_o speak_v unto_o they_o notwythstand_v we_o will_v open_v this_o doubt_n which_o they_o put_v forth_o which_o be_v that_o a_o man_n ought_v not_o with_o a_o oath_n to_o promise_v any_o thing_n because_o it_o lie_v not_o in_o he_o to_o perform_v it_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o when_o a_o subject_n swear_v unto_o his_o prince_n to_o do_v his_o duty_n in_o obey_v and_o be_v fayethful_a unto_o he_o he_o do_v not_o this_o in_o confidence_n of_o his_o own_o power_n or_o vaunt_v himself_o as_o despise_v god_n and_o setting_a he_o at_o nought_o but_o rather_o in_o call_v upon_o the_o help_v of_o god_n he_o answer_v that_o his_o will_n shall_v be_v such_o as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v how_o be_v it_o it_o be_v a_o folyshe_a imagination_n to_o reprove_v oath_n and_o yet_o to_o permit_v simple_a promise_n for_o if_o there_o be_v folishe_a rashness_n in_o the_o one_o so_o be_v there_o also_o in_o the_o other_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o promise_n they_o must_v show_v a_o reason_n why_o we_o may_v not_o ascertain_v our_o promise_n by_o a_o oath_n when_o necessity_n require_v we_o that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n a_o oath_n be_v holy_a and_o lawful_a we_o have_v many_o exemple_n in_o holy_a stripture_n and_o among_o all_o three_o which_o be_v very_o notable_a it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o chronicle_n that_o asa_n king_n of_o juda_n be_v admonish_v by_o azarias_n sacrificer_n and_o prophet_n call_v all_o the_o people_n into_o jerusalem_n and_o there_o cause_v they_o to_o swear_v to_o serve_v god_n for_o ever_o as_o much_o be_v write_v of_o josias_n when_o the_o book_n of_o the_o law_n be_v find_v that_o for_o to_o renew_v the_o covenaunte_n make_v by_o moses_n he_o swear_v the_o people_n make_v they_o promise_n to_o persevere_v for_o ever_o in_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n the_o three_o exemple_n be_v of_o esdras_n &_o nehemias_n at_o who_o instance_n the_o people_n be_v return_v from_o babylon_n do_v swear_v for_o ever_o after_o to_o follow_v we_o god_n and_o his_o word_n if_o we_o do_v well_o consider_v the_o thing_n the_o like_a be_v do_v at_o the_o first_o publication_n of_o the_o law_n but_o because_o i_o know_v that_o i_o have_v to_o do_v with_o brayneles_a &_o obstinate_a people_n i_o will_v allege_v none_o but_o such_o place_n where_o be_v manifest_o make_v mention_n of_o oath_n you_o see_v then_o how_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o israel_n make_v solemn_a oath_n unto_o god_n promise_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v mooste_o hard_a to_o be_v keep_v that_o be_v to_o cleave_v fayethfullye_o unto_o he_o this_o be_v do_v often_o time_n that_o the_o act_n be_v good_a there_o be_v no_o doubt_n for_o it_o have_v wytnes_n and_o be_v also_o praise_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n i_o will_v not_o great_o stand_v in_o this_o to_o declare_v how_o man_n may_v this_o bind_v themselves_o to_o god_n to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v not_o in_o they_o but_o only_o put_v you_o in_o remembrance_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v touch_v in_o the_o way_n that_o the_o fayethfull_a do_v always_o presuppose_v that_o god_n will_v not_o fail_v they_o of_o his_o grace_n which_o he_o have_v promise_v they_o and_o upon_o that_o they_o ground_n their_o oath_n but_o sing_v that_o it_o be_v so_o that_o god_n have_v approve_v this_o kind_n of_o oath_n and_o that_o his_o church_n have_v often_o time_n use_v it_o by_o his_o ordinance_n i_o ask_v of_o our_o dulheade_n by_o what_o authority_n they_o dare_v reprove_v it_o or_o rather_o without_o trouble_v myself_o with_o they_o because_o it_o be_v time_n lose_v i_o desire_n and_o exhort_v all_o servant_n of_o god_n to_o consider_v what_o boldness_n these_o poor_a ignorant_a man_n have_v to_o make_v such_o magistral_a determination_n and_o to_o go_v about_o to_o constrain_v the_o world_n to_o receyve_v they_o as_o thing_n irrevorable_a and_o not_o to_o be_v again_o say_v ☞_o for_o my_o part_n i_o doubt_n not_o but_o that_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o a_o oath_n as_o in_o the_o other_o before_o i_o have_v ful_o satisfy_v all_o such_o as_o have_v ear_n and_o understand_v and_o be_v in_o

&_o make_v avend_a of_o this_o book_n be_v it_o not_o that_o they_o have_v leave_v two_o article_n of_o as_o great_a consequence_n as_o any_o of_o the_o other_o of_o the_o which_o it_o be_v neadfull_a to_o speak_v for_o as_o much_o as_o all_o the_o anabaptiste_n do_v commune_o cleave_v to_o they_o beside_o this_o i_o know_v that_o they_o which_o compose_v this_o goodly_a resolution_n do_v at_o that_o time_n teach_v they_o the_o one_o be_v that_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v a_o very_a man_n but_o rather_o do_v make_v he_o touchinge_v his_o body_n a_o phantasy_n

the_o consequence_n which_o these_o two_o error_n do_v emporte_v that_o they_o have_v speak_v never_o a_o word_n of_o these_o i_o can_v not_o tell_v whether_o it_o be_v by_o craft_n because_o they_o be_v so_o odious_a that_o by_o goodright_a they_o shall_v make_v their_o whole_a doctrine_n excerable_a for_o what_o cause_n so_o ever_o it_o be_v sing_v i_o have_v take_v upon_o i_o to_o arm_v all_o
