A35133	Some reasons why the people called Quakers do absent from the publique way of worship and cannot conform thereunto though they are exposd to great sufferings because thereof and also why they cannot swear at all and whether if be out of obstinacy or conscientiousness resolved / presented in the love and fear of the Lord to the serious consideration of all justices and all others who are moderately enquiring into this matter by J.C.

by_o the_o law_n but_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a his_o word_n do_v extend_v further_a because_o he_o repeat_v what_o before_o be_v forbid_v and_o command_v and_o then_o go_v on_o further_a but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o swear_v not_o at_o all_o etc._n etc._n and_o how_o he_o can_v have_v speak_v more_o full_a i_o can_v tell_v and_o also_o the_o apostle_n james_n preach_v the_o same_o doctrine_n with_o the_o same_o absolute_a prohibition_n but_o above_o all_o thing_n my_o brethren_n swear_v not_o for_o it_o be_v so_o positive_o forbid_v by_o christ_n that_o he_o put_v that_o as_o it_o be_v above_o all_o thing_n neither_o by_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n mark_n nor_o any_o other_o oath_n no_o oath_n be_v to_o be_v swear_v by_o the_o true_a christian_n who_o be_v bring_v out_o of_o the_o strife_n that_o be_v among_o man_n into_o love_n and_o peace_n and_o good_a will_n towards_o all_o man_n and_o true_o it_o be_v a_o token_n of_o darkness_n and_o much_o ignorance_n that_o any_o man_n profess_v christianity_n shall_v have_v any_o word_n to_o say_v against_o such_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o clear_o forbid_v and_o how_o many_o christian_n have_v suffer_v since_o for_o refuse_v to_o swear_v appear_v by_o several_a ancient_a history_n and_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n only_o do_v we_o refuse_v to_o swear_v at_o this_o day_n have_v receive_v the_o christian_a spirit_n which_o in_o we_o say_v swear_v not_o and_o therefore_o upon_o this_o general_a account_n we_o can_v swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n but_o we_o can_v and_o have_v proffer_v to_o promise_v in_o faithfulness_n and_o do_v desire_v that_o the_o same_o punishment_n may_v be_v inflict_v upon_o those_o that_o break_v their_o word_n and_o promise_n as_o on_o they_o that_o break_v their_o oath_n and_o if_o this_o be_v take_v it_o will_v appear_v that_o we_o make_v as_o much_o conscience_n and_o more_o to_o keep_v our_o promise_n as_o any_o man_n do_v their_o oath_n and_o it_o be_v to_o the_o full_a as_o bind_v to_o we_o for_o it_o be_v a_o common_a say_n among_o man_n those_o that_o will_v swear_v will_v lie_v and_o many_o that_o will_v now_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n to_o save_v their_o outward_a liberty_n will_v soon_o swear_v against_o he_o upon_o occasion_n and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v know_v that_o ever_o we_o can_v swear_v in_o any_o case_n since_o we_o be_v a_o people_n and_o will_v not_o now_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n then_o indeed_o there_o be_v great_a cause_n of_o suspicion_n but_o we_o have_v always_o deny_v to_o swear_v in_o any_o case_n since_o we_o know_v the_o truth_n and_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n to_o guide_v we_o and_o have_v suffer_v upon_o divers_a account_n in_o former_a day_n and_o therefore_o in_o reason_n and_o justice_n we_o ought_v not_o to_o suffer_v in_o this_o case_n for_o refuse_v to_o swear_v allegiance_n to_o the_o king_n neither_o ought_v man_n to_o ensnare_v we_o because_o of_o the_o tenderness_n of_o our_o conscience_n to_o the_o lord_n for_o we_o have_v always_o desire_v the_o good_a and_o happiness_n of_o the_o king_n and_o all_o man_n in_o this_o world_n and_o that_o which_o be_v to_o come_v and_o in_o as_o much_o as_o we_o live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o peaceable_a it_o be_v that_o which_o bring_v honour_n to_o good_a government_n &_o king_n when_o subject_n do_v live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o such_o as_o do_v live_v wicked_o in_o ungodly_a way_n and_o practice_n dishonour_v god_n and_o good_a government_n and_o king_n too_o and_o we_o be_v for_o peace_n and_o deny_v that_o spirit_n that_o will_v plot_v or_o contrive_v mischief_n against_o the_o king_n or_o any_o man_n person_n for_o our_o principle_n be_v peaceable_a and_o lead_v to_o love_n and_o good_a will_n towards_o all_o man_n which_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o truth_n and_o honesty_n as_o will_v appear_v when_o all_o false_a suspicion_n will_v die_v and_o the_o refuge_n of_o lie_n and_o
