equity_n be_v take_v and_o limit_v in_o that_o sense_n which_o a._n s._n put_v upon_o it_o nor_o with_o that_o restriction_n for_o that_o sense_n will_v make_v it_o short_a of_o the_o subject_a matter_n where_o all_o swear_v be_v forbid_v as_o well_o as_o any_o because_o swear_v not_o at_o all_o by_o heaven_n earth_n etc._n etc._n because_o there_o be_v not_o only_o no_o expression_n make_v

exclusive_a of_o all_o kind_n of_o oath_n and_o of_o all_o oath_n of_o any_o kind_n not_o only_o of_o those_o that_o they_o use_v to_o wicked_a purpose_n but_o even_o those_o they_o solemn_o use_v sometime_o to_o good_a purpose_n before_o the_o seed_n christ_n be_v reveal_v and_o the_o apostle_n james_n 5.12_o neither_o by_o heaven_n neither_o by_o earth_n neither_o by_o any_o other_o oath_n which_o be_v a_o re-inforcement_n and_o redouble_v of_o the_o say_v universal_a prohibition_n whereas_o if_o christ_n have_v intend_v any_o exception_n here_o he_o may_v as_o easy_o have_v express_v and_o will_v as_o assure_o as_o he_o do_v immediate_o above_o in_o the_o cause_n of_o divorce_n by_o except_o in_o the_o cause_n of_o fornication_n and_o have_v so_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o except_o it_o be_v solemn_a and_o sacred_a oath_n and_o by_o the_o lord_n to_o good_a purpose_n in_o court_n where_o you_o be_v call_v to_o swear_v before_o a_o magistrate_n so_o james_n if_o he_o have_v intend_v as_o a.s._n will_v needs_o enforce_v yet_o without_o any_o ground_n a_o limitation_n and_o restriction_n above_o all_o thing_n my_o brethren_n swear_v not_o neither_o by_o heaven_n neither_o by_o earth_n neither_o by_o any_o other_o oath_n except_o you_o swear_v solemn_o by_o god_n to_o good_a purpose_n in_o court_n or_o before_o magistrate_n but_o as_o i_o say_v instead_o of_o except_v any_o exception_n he_o add_v that_o which_o more_o strengthen_v and_o clear_v beyond_o all_o exception_n the_o universality_n of_o his_o prohibition_n and_o if_o all_o vain_a oath_n by_o god_n be_v forbid_v before_o and_o all_o swear_v by_o creature_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n either_o for_o christ_n or_o james_n to_o speak_v of_o they_o again_o as_o a.s._n say_v than_o this_o be_v still_o matter_n for_o the_o argument_n on_o our_o part_n that_o some_o oath_n be_v prohibit_v by_o christ_n and_o james_n which_o be_v not_o prohibit_v before_o and_o of_o which_o there_o be_v necessity_n for_o they_o to_o speak_v as_o there_o be_v indeed_o not_o only_o about_o those_o oath_n and_o other_o thing_n which_o the_o law_n before_o have_v prohibit_v but_o even_o of_o those_o thing_n that_o it_o have_v allow_v and_o indulge_v because_o of_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n so_o we_o say_v there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o christ_n and_o james_n not_o only_o to_o mention_v those_o thing_n again_o which_o the_o law_n have_v speak_v of_o before_o and_o disallow_v which_o we_o have_v instance_a before_o and_o be_v manifest_a in_o that_o chap._n 5._o which_o the_o pharisee_n have_v pervert_v and_o loosen_v by_o their_o false_a gloss_n and_o tradition_n but_o even_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v permit_v indulge_v and_o command_v under_o the_o law_n and_o suffer_v to_o be_v because_o of_o the_o hardness_n of_o their_o heart_n and_o strife_n unbelief_n insecurity_n and_o therefore_o christ_n teach_v and_o inform_v his_o disciple_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o beginning_n before_o those_o thing_n enter_v and_o in_o this_o cause_n about_o oath_n among_o the_o rest_n prohibit_v all_o swear_v without_o limitation_n not_o only_o that_o which_o be_v once_o forbid_v but_o even_o that_o which_o be_v once_o permit_v and_o command_v and_o indulge_v and_o therefore_o it_o have_v be_v say_v of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o forswear_v thyself_o under_o the_o law_n where_o in_o numb_a 30.2_o deut._n 23.21_o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o swear_v not_o at_o all_o neither_o by_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n nor_o jerusalem_n nor_o thy_o head_n which_o be_v manifest_o a_o exclusive_a prohibition_n of_o all_o oath_n without_o exception_n or_o restriction_n or_o limitation_n and_o still_o will_v stand_v good_a notwithstanding_o all_o a._n s._n and_o other_o oppose_v among_o his_o disciple_n and_o true_a christian_n in_o who_o heart_n he_o have_v put_v it_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o confess_v in_o any_o cause_n wherein_o they_o be_v concern_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n the_o father_n and_o to_o keep_v the_o command_n of_o his_o christ_n and_o to_o glorify_v he_o by_o abide_v in_o his_o doctrine_n swear_v not_o at_o all_o and_o then_o a._n s._n conclude_v here_o the_o grand_a objection_n fall_v of_o itself_o which_o be_v either_o all_o kind_n of_o swear_v be_v forbid_v or_o else_o christ_n notwithstanding_o his_o word_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o forbid_v nothing_o which_o be_v forbid_v before_o which_o be_v utter_o improbable_a and_o the_o reason_n be_v say_v he_o because_o god_n former_o have_v forbid_v all_o false_a and_o vain_a oath_n and_o all_o swear_v by_o creature_n all_o which_o i_o grant_v to_o be_v true_a say_v he_o but_o the_o pharisee_n have_v teach_v the_o
take_v be_v bind_v in_o respect_n of_o creature_n relation_n to_o the_o creator_n and_o christ_n reckon_v they_o among_o sinful_a oath_n and_o teach_v they_o to_o use_v only_o bare_a affirmation_n or_o denial_n in_o their_o communication_n and_o this_o be_v the_o very_a sum_n of_o his_o judgement_n and_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v only_o to_o be_v limit_v to_o this_o sense_n and_o no_o further_o that_o be_v not_o to_o swear_v at_o all_o by_o creature_n in_o their_o mutual_a converse_n or_o communication_n and_o this_o he_o have_v repeat_v over_o and_o over_o in_o his_o book_n and_o this_o be_v the_o further_a latitude_n that_o he_o will_v allow_v unto_o christ_n prohibition_n swear_v not_o at_o all_o and_o this_o interpretation_n beforementioned_a he_o look_v upon_o to_o be_v the_o genuine_a meaning_n thereof_o and_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o doctor_n gauden_n also_o who_o have_v contend_v as_o hard_o for_o some_o swear_v as_o a._n s._n have_v and_o i_o perceive_v that_o a._n s._n have_v read_v the_o answer_n to_o bishop_n gauden_n publish_v by_o that_o precious_a servant_n of_o the_o lord_n samuel_n fisher_n who_o finish_v his_o life_n in_o bond_n for_o the_o

and_o there_o carp_v at_o and_o have_v bite_v at_o the_o heel_n but_o have_v not_o make_v void_a at_o all_o his_o answer_n which_o will_v live_v as_o a_o live_a testimony_n in_o generation_n to_o come_v as_o consonant_a unto_o christ_n doctrine_n wherein_o he_o prohibit_v all_o oath_n under_o the_o gospel_n reply_v though_o there_o be_v some_o truth_n in_o the_o different_a author_n that_o be_v allege_v and_o also_o in_o a.s._n his_o word_n that_o swear_v by_o creature_n as_o heaven_n and_o earth_n jerusalem_n and_o vain_a oath_n be_v forbid_v and_o customary_a oath_n and_o the_o corrupt_a gloss_n of_o the_o pharisee_n and_o the_o false_a interpretation_n yet_o all_o this_o come_v short_a of_o christ_n mind_n and_o of_o the_o true_a genuine_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n &_o the_o scope_n of_o christ_n sermon_n as_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o chapter_n and_o in_o his_o testament_n and_o all_o he_o have_v say_v will_v not_o help_v he_o to_o carry_v on_o that_o work_n he_o have_v undertake_v viz._n the_o justification_n of_o any_o or_o the_o lawfulness_n of_o any_o swear_v or_o the_o defence_n of_o that_o limit_a sense_n he_o will_v put_v upon_o the_o universal_a term_n in_o the_o 2._o text_n wherein_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v all_o swear_v and_o though_o a._n s._n often_o tell_v we_o christ_n do_v not_o forbid_v what_o the_o law_n have_v command_v neither_o give_v any_o new_a positive_a law_n before_o his_o death_n he_o sure_o have_v forget_v himself_o much_o what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o two_o great_a ordinance_n still_o uphold_v as_o baptism_n and_o break_v of_o bread_n and_o whether_o be_v this_o a_o new_a institution_n of_o christ_n or_o be_v it_o a_o institution_n in_o the_o law_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o institution_n of_o christ_n as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v hold_v and_o not_o of_o the_o law_n nor_o of_o moses_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o then_o a._n s._n his_o argument_n be_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n that_o he_o give_v no_o new_a commandment_n neither_o institute_v any_o new_a ordinance_n and_o than_o what_o be_v become_v of_o these_o two_o great_a mystery_n as_o they_o have_v be_v call_v but_o he_o have_v ravel_v out_o and_o spin_v out_o his_o thread_n so_o long_o that_o he_o often_o run_v off_o his_o leg_n and_o though_o a._n s._n do_v often_o urge_v that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o and_o therefore_o have_v say_v false_o that_o christ_n swear_v before_o the_o high_a priest_n after_o he_o have_v give_v forth_o this_o commandment_n swear_v not_o at_o all_o which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v true_a it_o have_v be_v no_o more_o precedent_n for_o christian_n then_o eat_v the_o passeover_n and_o though_o he_o sometime_o urge_v that_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 5.38_o because_o it_o be_v speak_v sometime_o before_o his_o death_n and_o the_o ministration_n of_o the_o first_o covenant_n be_v not_o end_v till_o his_o death_n and_o therefore_o he_o conclude_v that_o all_o oath_n will_v not_o be_v forbid_v by_o christ_n in_o this_o text_n for_o say_v he_o christ_n do_v not_o forbid_v what_o the_o law_n command_v but_o though_o this_o prohibition_n be_v give_v out_o before_o his_o death_n yet_o with_o reference_n to_o the_o gospel-time_n after_o his_o death_n it_o be_v evident_a by_o the_o text_n before_o it_o and_o behind_o it_o viz._n of_o divorce_n and_o of_o deportment_n towards_o injurious_a one_o and_o enemy_n so_o in_o this_o of_o oath_n christ_n prohibit_v and_o condemn_v not_o only_o those_o gross_a abuse_n of_o those_o thing_n that_o they_o have_v a_o dispensation_n for_o under_o the_o law_n and_o that_o by_o divine_a indulgency_n which_o abuse_v

the_o law_n indulge_v they_o in_o and_o give_v they_o both_o a_o dispensation_n and_o a_o precept_n for_o in_o the_o law_n for_o the_o law_n say_v of_o old_a time_n before_o the_o false_a gloss_n of_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n come_v in_o some_o thing_n so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o say_v from_o the_o beginning_n when_o man_n be_v in_o innocency_n and_o be_v merciful_a as_o his_o heavenly_a father_n be_v merciful_a and_o the_o law_n say_v deut._n 24.12_o whosoever_o shall_v put_v away_o his_o wise_n let_v he_o give_v she_o a_o bill_n of_o divorcement_n &_o then_o she_o may_v go_v &_o be_v
