the_o carnal_a ordinance_n and_o rite_n be_v by_o god_n ordination_n to_o cease_v so_o that_o notwithstanding_o j._n s_n affirmation_n aforesaid_a it_o both_o be_v and_o be_v not_o only_o possible_a

as_o it_o be_v say_v 500_o year_n between_o the_o return_n of_o the_o jew_n out_o of_o babylon_n after_o the_o captivity_n and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o it_o be_v write_v the_o lord_n be_v never_o slack_a in_o perform_v his_o promise_n in_o no_o age_n leave_v himself_o without_o witness_n and_o therefore_o although_o swear_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v mention_v it_o be_v then_o a_o carnal_a ordinance_n or_o rite_n annex_v to_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n under_o the_o first_o testament_n until_o the_o time_n of_o reformation_n by_o way_n of_o example_n not_o that_o the_o

by_o the_o observe_n or_o perform_v of_o which_o the_o gentile_n be_v to_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n for_o the_o law_n be_v change_v there_o be_v also_o a_o change_n of_o those_o condition_n

such_o case_n where_o swear_v be_v require_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n yet_o after_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o have_v give_v forth_o that_o command_n swear_v not_o at_o all_o

and_o from_o all_o other_o carnal_a rite_n and_o command_v require_v by_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n they_o be_v free_v after_o christ_n death_n now_o these_o scripture_n be_v true_a it_o be_v evident_a that_o swear_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v no_o condition_n under_o the_o gospel_n upon_o the_o performance_n whereof_o any_o people_n either_o jew_n or_o gentile_n be_v admit_v or_o

do_v not_o all_o tender_a people_n under_o the_o gospel_n obnoxious_a to_o the_o dint_n of_o god_n fearful_a doom_n as_o j._n s._n have_v presumptuous_o and_o erroneous_o assert_v and_o now_o have_v answer_v the_o subject_a matter_n in_o reference_n to_o swear_v contain_v in_o j._n s._n his_o five_o argument_n aforesaid_a i_o do_v conclude_v that_o oath_n be_v no_o gospel-ordinance_n and_o that_o therefore_o christian_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o in_o the_o faith_n of_o he_o be_v not_o oblige_v in_o witness-bearing_a now_o in_o gospel_n time_n by_o or_o from_o any_o command_n or_o example_n

unto_o you_o swear_v not_o at_o all_o etc._n etc._n and_o i_o do_v further_o say_v that_o all_o that_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v his_o word_n abide_v in_o they_o do_v witness_n acceptance_n in_o he_o ephes._n 1._o 6._o without_o oath_n or_o swear_v and_o all_o they_o that_o be_v in_o he_o that_o be_v true_a they_o according_a to_o the_o example_n of_o the_o holy_a man_n of_o
