A79863	Here is the swearers and they who swear falsly, and likewise they who compel men to swear, all tried by the law of the spirit of life which is in Chirst Jesus. Which law is holy, just, pure, and good; and all of them found guilty of sin and transgression against the true and living God; and also sentence pronounced against them all, that so transgress the Law of God, who with the wicked, and all they who forget God, must be turned into Hell, except they repent speedily; for with God there is no respect of persons in Judgement. Written the 21. day of the third month, 1661. by me Henry Clark.	Clark, Henry, 17th cent.	1661 (1661)	Wing C4454A; ESTC R231477	12,950	12

cease for he is the end of the Law and the Prophets to all that believe in his Name and to as many as received him and believed on his Name he gave them power to become the sons of God and as many as are the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God into all truth out of strife sin and iniquity which was the Occasion of an Oath of Confirmation which was to put an end to all strife between man and man according to the Law that came by Moses the servant of God for the children of Israel onely to observe and keep But the Word which God put into the mouth of his onely begotten Son Jesus Christ to speak and declare was to be preached to all Nations every where that men might turn from vanity and leave off sin and iniquity that caused strife between man and man to serve the true living God For when Christ Jesus sent forth his Apostles he commanded them to go and teach all Nations saying Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel in every creature and teach all Nations to observe all things whatsoever that I have commanded you Now Christ Jesus taught them his Apostles and Disciples saying But I say unto you Swear not at all here is the command of Christ the words which God put in his mouth according to Moses writing I will put my words into his mouth and he shall speak unto them in my Name all that I shall command him who said unto them Swear not at all neither by Heaven for it is God's throne And said Christ to the Scribes and Pharisees Wo unto you ye blind Guides He that swears by Heaven sweareth by the throne of God and him that sitteth thereon Heaven is Gods throne and God sitteth on his throne and he that sweareth by the Heaven sweareth by God that sitteth thereon the which swearing Christ doth forbid although according to the Law of Moses it was lawful for them to swear by his Name Jehovah is his Name before Christ came who is the end of the Law and the Prophets to all that believe in his Name who is the Son of God who said Neither swear by the Earth for it is his foot-stool Is the Earth God's Footstool then he that sweareth by the Earth sweareth by God that setteth his foot thereon according to what Christ said He that sweareth by the Heaven sweareth by the Throne of God and by God who sitteth thereon and said Christ Neither swear by Ierusalem for it is the City of the great King Who is he the true and living God the King of Kings He that sweareth by the City of the great King sweareth by the King himself For saith Christ Whoso shall swear by the Temple sweareth by it and him that dwelleth therein And doth not God dwell in his temple then he that sweareth by the temple where God dwelleth sweareth by God that dwelleth therein according to Christ's words who spake the truth and as he meant So then my Argument is still that he that sweareth by the Bible sweareth not by it alone but likewise by all things that is written in every part of it at once And again Christ said Neither shalt thou swear by thy head because thou canst not make one hair white or black Now I say it is God that made every man's head and the hairs thereof white or black therefore he that sweareth by his Head sweareth by God who made his Head and the Hairs thereof 1 Cor. 11.3 white or black And furthermore it is written that the Head of every man is Christ and ought not man to be subject to his Head Law-giver and Judge Christ Jesus the good Shepherd Bishop and Saviour of his soul Now all ye that swear and compel men to swear judge ye by the Law and Testimony of the spirit of Life which is in Christ Jesus whether it be good and lawful for ye thus to do yea or nay read it and try whether the Law of the Spirit of Life which is in Christ Jesus will justisie you in swearing or compelling men to swear or condemn you eternally for your so doing For this ye shall all know that he that believeth not in the onely begotten Son of God is condemned already because he hath not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God who is come a light to enlighten the Gentiles Ioh. 3.18 and the glory of the people Israel Therefore 3. Consider all you that forget God for although the Jews swore by the name of the true and living God according to Moses Law and the Heathens Pagans Infidels or Idolaters who God in time past and now suffereth to walk in their own ways did and do swear by their dead Idols or false gods which was and is the workmanship of their own hands yet this must not be a precedent or an example for Christians to Swear at all by any Oath or form of Oath whatsoever for God hath called all the true Christians who believe on the Name of his onely begoten Son from amongst the Jews Heathens Pagans Infidels c. and hath separated them from them and their Laws and Customs to follow his Son Jesus Christ the Captain of their Salvation and to worship God in Spirit and in Truth and to walk before him in fear in holiness righteousness all the days of their lives Therefore it is not lawful for Christians to swear by their head Captain of their Salvation who teaches them not to Swear at all And as it is not lawful for Christians to Swear neither is it becoming nor doth become any true Christian to Swear by any form of Oath that is of any mans making whatsoever For he that sweareth by any Oath whatsoever that is of man's or mens inventing contriving and drawing up into a form it is all one as if he swore by an Idol which proceeds from the invention of mens brains the imagination of their hearts and the workmanship of their own hands For the one is as much out of and contrary to the Truth as it is in Jesus Christ as the other is and therefore fore they are to be denied of all the true Christians Why Because that as the Idols or false gods are onely the invention of mens brains the imagination of their hearts and also the workmanship of their hands Therefore they are lies vanity and the work of Error So likewise all forms of Oaths which are set forth to publike view in these days for men to swear by are onely inventions of mens brains the imaginations of their wicked and deceitful hearts and the workmanship of their own hands and not the Oath of God therefore they are lyes vanity and the works of error and not the work of God for the works of God are true but it is written Surely said David Men of low degree are vanity and men of high degree are a lye therefore whatsoever it is that
