these_o particular_n viz._n first_o god_n command_v that_o we_o shall_v swear_v only_o by_o his_o name_n deut._n 6.13_o and_o 10.20_o exod._n 23.13_o second_o god_n reprove_v those_o which_o swear_v

neither_o angel_n nor_o saint_n nor_o any_o other_o creature_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o swear_v by_o none_o but_o god_n only_o five_o he_o that_o swear_v give_v unto_o he_o by_o who_o he_o

by_o the_o temple_n swear_v by_o he_o that_o dwell_v therein_o answ_n 1_o first_o in_o this_o place_n christ_n reprove_v the_o pharisee_n for_o their_o swear_v and_o condemn_v it_o by_o this_o argument_n that_o howsoever_o they_o think_v it_o a_o small_a matter_n to_o swear_v by_o the_o temple_n yet_o in_o effect_n they_o do_v swear_v by_o god_n himself_o and_o thus_o he_o do_v not_o here_o

the_o gold_n of_o the_o temple_n verse_n 16._o christ_n here_o show_v that_o they_o can_v not_o avoid_v swear_v by_o god_n when_o they_o do_v swear_v by_o the_o temple_n because_o it_o be_v the_o place_n of_o his_o habitation_n and_o so_o they_o do_v in_o such_o a_o oath_n take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a and_o thus_o we_o see_v the_o boldness_n of_o our_o rhemist_n who_o dare_v justify_v swear_v by_o creature_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o christ_n condemn_v it_o answ_n 2_o second_o our_o saviour_n here_o say_v nothing_o but_o this_o that_o in_o every_o oath_n there_o
