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

you_o flee_v for_o excuse_v 1._o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n it_o can_v excuse_v you_o why_o because_o that_o act_v of_o parliament_n be_v act_n of_o man_n will_n and_o not_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n and_o parliament_n as_o well_o as_o council_n may_v be_v lead_v by_o wrong_a principle_n be_v not_o guide_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o so_o err_v and_o make_v law_n of_o vanity_n or_o act_n of_o error_n and_o statute_n that_o be_v unjust_a and_o not_o good_a because_o they_o contradict_v the_o law_n of_o god_n therefore_o they_o can_v justify_v your_o action_n 2._o neither_o will_v the_o antiquity_n of_o your_o law_n for_o swear_v excuse_n nor_o justify_v you_o any_o more_o than_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v stand_v many_o generation_n before_o jeremiahs_n day_n can_v justify_v the_o jew_n in_o their_o murder_n adultery_n and_o false_a swear_n etc._n etc._n neither_o will_v it_o free_v you_o from_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n any_o more_o than_o abraham_n can_v free_v the_o jew_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n for_o although_o they_o plead_v say_v they_o have_v abraham_n for_o their_o father_n yet_o christ_n tell_v they_o whosoever_o commit_v sin_n be_v servant_n to_o sin_n and_o so_o not_o free_a but_o in_o bondage_n as_o you_o be_v to_o your_o will_n and_o lust_n for_o which_o you_o plead_v a_o law_n but_o it_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o your_o own_o law_n that_o what_o soever_o in_o its_o original_a be_v altogether_o illegal_a and_o unjust_a can_v never_o by_o tract_n or_o length_n of_o time_n or_o by_o any_o act_n or_o act_n subsequent_a be_v they_o what_o they_o will_v in_o any_o kind_n or_o construction_n of_o law_n be_v make_v just_a or_o legal_a etc._n etc._n and_o the_o judge_n of_o this_o

reject_v the_o counsel_n and_o spirit_n of_o the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n which_o shall_v be_v their_o rule_n and_o guide_v to_o make_v all_o their_o law_n by_o and_o if_o law_n act_n and_o statute_n be_v not_o make_v according_a to_o that_o rule_n they_o can_v never_o be_v legal_a just_a nor_o good_a 3._o neither_o can_v the_o example_n of_o other_o nation_n herein_o excuse_v or_o justify_v you_o why_o because_o that_o the_o custom_n statute_n and_o ordinance_n of_o the_o nation_n be_v vanity_n and_o the_o work_n of_o error_n and_o not_o of_o god_n for_o the_o way_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n therefore_o you_o shall_v not_o follow_v a_o multitude_n to_o do_v evil_a nor_o learn_v the_o way_n of_o the_o heathen_a who_o be_v idolater_n but_o refrain_v your_o foot_n from_o their_o path_n and_o follow_v the_o true_a and_o live_a god_n full_o and_o as_o for_o those_o who_o go_v under_o the_o denomination_n of_o christian_a prince_n and_o king_n or_o emperor_n i_o do_v not_o hear_v of_o any_o one_o of_o they_o that_o fear_v god_n and_o work_v righteousness_n and_o i_o do_v believe_v there_o be_v not_o scarce_o one_o of_o they_o that_o do_v and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o use_v such_o act_n of_o violence_n and_o cruelty_n towards_o those_o that_o fear_n god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n for_o if_o they_o themselves_o fear_v god_n they_o will_v depart_v from_o iniquity_n and_o leave_v off_o their_o act_n of_o violence_n cruelty_n and_o oppression_n to_o such_o as_o fear_v god_n and_o
