theol._n true_o indeed_o but_o yet_o we_o see_v by_o lamentable_a experience_n how_o man_n be_v give_v over_o both_o to_o swear_v and_o forswear_v for_o at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v no_o sin_n more_o common_a among_o we_o than_o swear_v for_o many_o there_o be_v which_o can_v speak_v ten_o word_n but_o one_o shall_v be_v a_o oath_n and_o number_n have_v get_v such_o a_o wicked_a custom_n of_o swear_v that_o they_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n leave_v it_o no_o more_o than_o a_o blackamoor_n can_v change_v his_o skin_n or_o a_o leopard_n his_o spot_n for_o it_o be_v make_v natural_a unto_o they_o through_o custom_n and_o they_o have_v get_v the_o habit_n of_o it_o i_o do_v very_o think_v if_o it_o be_v high_a treason_n to_o swear_v yet_o some_o can_v not_o leave_v swear_v and_o sure_o i_o be_o as_o light_a as_o we_o make_v of_o it_o that_o it_o be_v high_a treason_n against_o the_o crown_n of_o heaven_n yea_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n immediate_o against_o god_n even_o against_o his_o own_o person_n and_o therefore_o he_o have_v forbid_v it_o in_o the_o first_o table_n of_o his_o law_n phil._n questionless_a this_o vice_n of_o swear_v be_v of_o all_o other_o sin_n most_o rife_o in_o this_o land_n for_o you_o shall_v have_v little_a boy_n and_o child_n in_o the_o street_n rap_v out_o oath_n in_o most_o fearful_a manner_n it_o will_v make_v a_o man_n heart_n quake_v to_o

strange_a thing_n and_o with_o great_a grief_n i_o speak_v it_o i_o do_v very_o think_v there_o be_v swear_v in_o this_o land_n a_o hundred_o thousand_o oath_n every_o day_n in_o the_o year_n phil._n no_o doubt_n sir_n you_o be_v within_o compass_n for_o now_o almost_o so_o many_o man_n so_o many_o oath_n except_v some_o few_o in_o comparison_n nay_o i_o know_v divers_a of_o my_o own_o

oath_n and_o we_o may_v well_o wonder_v that_o the_o land_n sink_v not_o because_o of_o oath_n for_o if_o god_n be_v not_o a_o god_n of_o infinite_a patience_n how_o can_v he_o endure_v his_o most_o sacred_a and_o glorious_a name_n to_o be_v so_o many_o thousand_o time_n blaspheme_v in_o one_o day_n &_o that_o by_o such_o miserable_a wretch_n as_o we_o be_v phil._n we_o may_v indeed_o admire_v and_o wonder_v at_o the_o patience_n and_o long-suffering_a of_o god_n that_o he_o spare_v we_o so_o long_o &_o give_v we_o so_o large_a a_o time_n of_o repentance_n but_o sure_o it_o be_v that_o the_o prophet_n say_v that_o howsoever_o the_o lord_n be_v slow_a to_o anger_n yet_o he_o be_v great_a in_o power_n 1.3_o nah._n 1.3_o and_o will_v not_o sure_o clear_v the_o wicked_a though_o he_o may_v wink_v at_o their_o monstrous_a oath_n for_o a_o time_n yet_o he_o forget_v they_o never_o a_o whit_n but_o score_v they_o up_o and_o register_v they_o in_o his_o book_n of_o account_n so_o as_o they_o stand_v in_o record_n against_o they_o and_o when_o the_o great_a day_n of_o reckon_n shall_v come_v he_o will_v fetch_v they_o all_o in_o order_n before_o they_o and_o lay_v they_o to_o
