A86438	A caution to the sons of Sion: being an answer to Jeremiah Ives his book, intituled, the great case of conscience opened. I. Proving that every calling God to witnesse is not swearing. II. Proving that promissary oaths were never commanded by God, onely practised as liberty under former dispensations. III. Proving that promissary oaths were never commanded or practised by Christ nor his disciples in all the New Testament. IV. Shewing what an oath is. V. Proving the lawfulnesse of all promissary oaths in the time of the Gospel. / By Samuel Hodgkin.	Hodgkin, Samuel.	1660 (1660)	Wing H2333; Thomason E1085_5; ESTC R208054	13,667	19

the_o soul_n for_o some_o sacred_a oath_n be_v between_o man_n and_o man_n which_o be_v voluntary_o as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v from_o gen._n 23.4_o chap._n 21.22_o again_o say_v he_o those_o oath_n that_o be_v make_v to_o god_n be_v call_v oath_n to_o god_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v not_o know_v how_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v otherwise_o because_o there_o be_v none_o else_o concern_v in_o they_o but_o it_o do_v not_o therefore_o follow_v that_o god_n require_v the_o performance_n of_o no_o other_o oath_n to_o he_o but_o such_o as_o be_v immediate_o make_v to_o he_o for_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o god_n own_v oath_n that_o be_v make_v between_o man_n and_o man_n to_o be_v his_o oath_n and_o require_v the_o performance_n thereof_o as_o well_o as_o it_o they_o have_v be_v immediate_o make_v to_o he_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o ezek._n 17.19_o therefore_o thus_o say_v the_o lord_n god_n as_o i_o live_v sure_o my_o oath_n that_o he_o have_v despise_v and_o my_o covenant_n that_o he_o have_v break_v even_o it_o will_v i_o recompense_v upon_o his_o own_o head_n so_o likewise_o the_o 2d_o of_o samuel_n 21.7_o and_o 1_o king_n 2.43_o now_o therefore_o though_o as_o he_o say_v the_o end_n of_o oath_n make_v immediate_o to_o god_n be_v to_o bind_v they_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o those_o voluntary_a service_n which_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o by_o the_o law_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v understand_v that_o christ_n have_v reference_n in_o mat._n 5.33_o to_o such_o oath_n only_o as_o be_v make_v immediate_o to_o god_n because_o as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v that_o god_n require_v the_o performance_n and_o own_v such_o oath_n to_o be_v his_o as_o be_v make_v between_o man_n and_o man_n i_o now_o come_v to_o his_o last_o question_n viz._n whether_o those_o two_o text_n mat._n 5._o and_o jam._n 5._o do_v forbid_v all_o manner_n of_o swear_v in_o gospel_n time_n and_o here_o i_o shall_v grant_v with_o he_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o forbid_v the_o use_n of_o such_o swear_n as_o be_v in_o the_o law_n command_v only_o let_v i_o revive_v the_o forementioned_a distinction_n namely_o between_o oath_n command_v and_o oath_n that_o be_v voluntary_a and_o that_o because_o oath_n that_o be_v command_v be_v only_a assertory_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v now_o therefore_o i_o shall_v pass_v over_o those_o reason_n that_o he_o have_v give_v to_o prove_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v away_o the_o use_n of_o all_o such_o swear_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n only_o by_o the_o way_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o except_v against_o some_o particular_n that_o he_o have_v instance_a in_o for_o proof_n in_o this_o case_n and_o first_o i_o take_v notice_n of_o his_o first_o reason_n viz._n that_o christ_n use_v some_o such_o swear_v himself_o in_o mat._n 26.63_o when_o he_o be_v adjure_v by_o the_o highpriest_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v if_o i_o shall_v grant_v that_o christ_n in_o this_o swear_v yet_o it_o make_v nothing_o to_o our_o question_n because_o in_o this_o text_n there_o be_v nothing_o promissory_n but_o however_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_n that_o be_v shall_v so_o much_o contradict_v himself_o as_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n swear_v and_o yet_o make_v no_o answer_n to_o the_o oath_n when_o he_o himself_o say_v in_o the_o three_o page_n of_o his_o book_n speak_v of_o mr._n ainsworth_n writing_n in_o show_v that_o when_o a_o man_n be_v adjure_v or_o charge_v to_o swear_v he_o be_v not_o swear_v except_o he_o take_v the_o oath_n upon_o he_o by_o express_v some_o word_n to_o signify_v the_o same_o which_o christ_n do_v not_o i_o now_o come_v to_o his_o second_o reason_n viz._n that_o christ_n in_o mat._n 5._o can_v not_o take_v away_o the_o use_n of_o all_o such_o swear_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n because_o those_o commandment_n contain_v in_o ordinance_n be_v not_o take_v away_o till_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n ephes_n 2.15_o and_o those_o ordinance_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o we_o be_v not_o take_v away_o till_o christ_n nail_v they_o to_o his_o cross_n col._n 2.14_o therefore_o those_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n which_o accommodate_v humane_a affair_n and_o respect_a moral_n of_o which_o this_o of_o swear_v to_o end_v strife_n be_v none_o of_o the_o least_o can_v not_o be_v take_v away_o before_o christ_n die_v and_o that_o therefore_o all_o such_o oath_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n be_v not_o forbid_v by_o that_o text_n mat._n 5.34_o i_o confess_v this_o be_v the_o sound_a argument_n i_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o all_o his_o book_n and_o have_v he_o first_o prove_v that_o promissory_n swear_v have_v be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n this_o have_v be_v something_o to_o his_o purpose_n but_o forasmuch_o as_o promissory_n swear_v be_v never_o command_v in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o law_n this_o argument_n can_v at_o most_o but_o prove_v assertory_n oath_n to_o be_v except_v in_o mat._n 5._o and_o so_o we_o be_v but_o still_o where_o we_o be_v before_o for_o i_o do_v grant_v that_o in_o mat._n 5._o christ_n take_v away_o nothing_o that_o be_v command_v and_o that_o therefore_o in_o his_o prohibition_n ver_fw-la 34._o can_v have_v reference_n to_o no_o other_o oath_n but_o promissory_n and_o because_o no_o other_o oath_n bind_v the_o person_n take_v it_o to_o performance_n i_o come_v to_o his_o three_o reason_n viz._n that_o those_o text_n mat._n 5._o and_o jam._n 5._o can_v forbid_v the_o use_n of_o all_o such_o swear_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n because_o the_o prophet_n prophesy_v that_o some_o such_o swear_n shall_v be_v use_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n isa_n 65.16_o 17._o i_o must_v confess_v mr._n ives_n put_v i_o into_o amaze_n to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v already_o get_v into_o the_o new_a heaven_n and_o the_o new_a earth_n certain_o he_o have_v not_o be_v long_o there_o for_o it_o be_v not_o long_o ago_o since_o he_o be_v in_o prison_n because_o he_o can_v not_o swear_v but_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o he_o be_v not_o only_o get_v thence_o but_o he_o have_v forget_v all_o the_o former_a trouble_n i_o confess_v it_o will_v be_v well_o for_o he_o if_o he_o according_a to_o the_o text_n never_o have_v occasion_n to_o remember_v they_o any_o more_o but_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o few_o man_n in_o england_n will_v say_v that_o the_o time_n be_v yet_o come_v that_o the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o and_o although_o mr._n ives_n cit_v the_o apostle_n peter_n word_n 2_o pet._n 3._o to_o prove_v that_o the_o prophet_n do_v respect_v the_o new_a testament_n time_n yet_o i_o suppose_v that_o after_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v burn_v up_o than_o mr._n ives_n will_v have_v do_v write_v of_o book_n but_o to_o come_v unto_o the_o text_n if_o it_o do_v respect_v our_o time_n as_o doubtless_o it_o do_v not_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o reach_v our_o case_n because_o it_o mention_n nothing_o promissory_n again_o whereas_o he_o cit_v psalm_n 15.4_o to_o prove_v promissory_n swear_v under_o the_o new_a testament_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o this_o text_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v understand_v to_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n than_o it_o be_v either_o because_o some_o text_n of_o scripture_n tell_v we_o so_o or_o else_o because_o that_o swear_n be_v in_o all_o age_n a_o duty_n so_o incumbent_a upon_o saint_n that_o none_o can_v dwell_v in_o god_n holy_a hil●_n that_o have_v not_o be_v find_v act_v therein_o but_o there_o be_v no_o text_n of_o scripture_n that_o tell_v we_o that_o this_o prophet_n in_o this_o text_n have_v respect_n to_o gospel_n time_n and_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o none_o will_v be_v so_o ridiculous_a as_o to_o say_v that_o swear_v be_v in_o all_o age_n a_o duty_n so_o incumbent_a upon_o saint_n that_o none_o can_v dwell_v in_o god_n holy_a hill_n that_o have_v not_o be_v find_v act_v therein_o and_o whereas_o he_o cit_v isa_n 45.23_o i_o must_v say_v it_o do_v not_o respect_v our_o time_n because_o then_o every_o tongue_n shall_v confess_v god_n but_o at_o this_o present_a they_o do_v not_o but_o however_o it_o do_v not_o respect_v our_o case_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v leave_v it_o i_o come_v now_o to_o his_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v that_o those_o two_o text_n mat._n 5._o and_o jam._n 5._o can_v not_o forbid_v all_o such_o swear_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n because_o such_o swear_a jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o only_o find_v in_o the_o practice_n of_o but_o the_o apostle_n paul_n do_v both_o practice_n and_o enjoin_v the_o same_o now_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o apostle_n practise_v promissory_n swear_v he_o cite_v 2_o cor._n 11.10_o and_o tell_v
