allow_v but_o require_v the_o use_v of_o it_o and_o that_o too_o with_o relation_n to_o that_o part_n of_o it_o of_o which_o he_o tell_v we_o nevertheless_o in_o this_o very_a chapter_n 17_o that_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o and_o which_o we_o ought_v not_o therefore_o to_o doubt_n be_v what_o he_o intend_v in_o the_o three_o as_o we_o confess_v it_o be_v what_o he_o do_v in_o the_o other_o commandment_n 12._o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o upon_o all_o these_o account_n it_o be_v at_o least_o very_o improbable_a that_o our_o bless_a saviour_n shall_v have_v design_v utter_o to_o forbid_v all_o manner_n of_o swear_v as_o sinful_a and_o unlawful_a i_o add_v two_o that_o whatever_o that_o passage_n we_o be_v here_o inquire_v into_o may_v seem_v to_o offer_v to_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v certain_a he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o as_o i_o shall_v now_o make_v appear_v 13._o that_o st._n paul_n have_v solemn_o swear_v in_o almost_o every_o one_o of_o his_o epistle_n be_v a_o fourteen_o truth_n so_o evident_a that_o it_o must_v be_v impossible_a for_o any_o one_o who_o know_v what_o a_o oath_n be_v to_o be_v able_a serious_o to_o doubt_v of_o it_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n say_v he_o rom._n i._n 9_o i_o call_v god_n for_o a_o record_n upon_o my_o soul_n 2_o cor._n i_o 23_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n who_o be_v bless_v for_o evermore_o know_v that_o i_o lie_v not_o 2_o cor._n xi_o 31_o behold_v before_o god_n i_o lie_v not_o gal._n i._n 20_o and_o several_a other_o expression_n he_o elsewhere_o have_v of_o the_o like_a nature_n 14._o now_o in_o all_o these_o either_o this_o great_a apostle_n be_v guilty_a of_o sin_v or_o he_o be_v not_o that_o he_o commit_v any_o sin_n in_o thus_o write_v but_o especial_o a_o wilful_a know_v and_o deliberate_a sin_n be_v very_o hard_a to_o suppose_v i_o be_o sure_a must_v never_o be_v allow_v by_o those_o who_o believe_v he_o to_o have_v be_v act_v by_o the_o immediate_a inspiration_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o what_o he_o write_v and_o yet_o suppose_v our_o saviour_n to_o have_v utter_o forbid_v the_o use_n of_o swear_v to_o all_o christian_n and_o upon_o any_o occasion_n how_o shall_v we_o ever_o be_v able_a to_o excuse_v he_o from_o a_o gross_a presumptuous_a contempt_n of_o his_o commandment_n 15._o that_o st._n paul_n shall_v have_v continue_v all_o his_o life_n ignorant_a of_o such_o a_o prohibition_n be_v very_o strange_a nor_o have_v it_o that_o i_o know_v of_o be_v pretend_a by_o any_o 16._o that_o he_o have_v any_o particular_a allowance_n make_v to_o he_o to_o exempt_v he_o from_o the_o obligation_n of_o it_o and_o to_o authorize_v he_o to_o act_n direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o the_o common_a duty_n of_o all_o other_o christian_n do_v not_o appear_v nor_o ought_v without_o some_o very_a good_a ground_n to_o be_v suppose_v by_o we_o i_o conclude_v therefore_o jusjurandum_a that_o have_v the_o use_n of_o swear_v be_v utter_o take_v away_o under_o the_o gospel_n neither_o will_v st._n paul_n have_v lay_v so_o great_a a_o stumbling-block_n in_o our_o way_n as_o he_o can_v not_o but_o think_v his_o example_n may_v be_v likely_a to_o prove_v to_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n nor_o will_v the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v give_v so_o much_o countenance_n to_o a_o practice_n neither_o very_o commendable_a in_o its_o self_n nor_o upon_o any_o account_n to_o be_v imitate_v by_o those_o for_o who_o benefit_n and_o instruction_n those_o very_a epistle_n be_v inspire_v by_o he_o 17._o but_o we_o have_v not_o only_o the_o example_n of_o st._n paul_n though_o that_o be_v enough_o to_o direct_v we_o in_o this_o matter_n our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o have_v do_v likewise_o and_o 63._o that_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o those_o who_o yet_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v of_o his_o apostle_n swear_v it_o have_v be_v think_v by_o 311._o some_o that_o that_o form_n of_o speech_n so_o often_o use_v by_o our_o lord_n in_o confirmation_n of_o what_o he_o deliver_v very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o be_v not_o mere_o a_o vehement_a asseveration_n but_o rather_o a_o direct_a and_o forman_n oath_n though_o in_o this_o i_o confess_v i_o be_o not_o so_o well_o satisfy_v as_o to_o be_v willing_a to_o lay_v any_o great_a stress_n upon_o it_o yet_o that_o he_o do_v true_o 63_o swear_v at_o his_o arraignment_n before_o the_o highpriest_n be_v hardly_o to_o be_v doubt_v when_o be_v adjure_v by_o he_o after_o the_o manner_n use_v among_o the_o jew_n to_o tell_v he_o whether_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n or_o no_o he_o ready_o comply_v with_o the_o obligation_n that_o be_v lay_v upon_o he_o and_o answer_v plain_o that_o he_o be_v and_o in_o the_o x_o the_o of_o the_o revelation_n st._n john_n put_v it_o beyond_o all_o dispute_n that_o the_o angel_n with_o who_o he_o discourse_v do_v do_v likewise_o and_o that_o with_o great_a solemnity_n too_o for_o he_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n and_o swear_v by_o he_o that_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o ever_o ver._n 5_o 6._o 18._o i_o conclude_v therefore_o that_o what_o god_n both_o *_o prescribe_v and_o *_o practise_a under_o the_o law_n *_o what_o not_o only_a st._n paul_n but_o our_o saviour_n christ_n himself_o and_o a_o angel_n from_o heaven_n continue_v to_o use_v under_o the_o gospel_n *_o what_o be_v due_o perform_v be_v for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o the_o benefit_n of_o mankind_n but_o be_v *_o utter_o forbid_v must_v turn_v very_o much_o to_o the_o detriment_n of_o the_o world_n as_o it_o can_v be_v in_o its_o self_n evil_a so_o neither_o be_v it_o ever_o intend_a to_o have_v be_v abolish_v by_o our_o bless_a lord_n as_o such_o 19_o but_o what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v to_o this_o passage_n of_o st._n matthew_n swear_v not_o at_o all_o can_v any_o thing_n be_v more_o express_a or_o can_v our_o saviour_n have_v speak_v more_o plain_o have_v he_o design_v to_o have_v do_v what_o some_o pretend_v he_o have_v do_v 20._o to_o this_o i_o answer_v and_o it_o be_v the_o next_o consideration_n i_o have_v to_o offer_v for_o the_o clear_n of_o this_o difficulty_n two_o that_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o the_o word_n of_o any_o prohibition_n be_v general_n to_o oblige_v we_o to_o understand_v it_o in_o the_o utmost_a extent_n that_o the_o expression_n be_v capable_a of_o but_o we_o must_v withal_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o suppose_v be_v design_v to_o have_v be_v forbid_v by_o they_o 21._o for_o proof_n of_o which_o remark_n let_v we_o look_v back_o only_o to_o the_o 21_o sy_n verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n where_o we_o meet_v with_o a_o case_n not_o very_o different_a from_o that_o before_o we_o you_o have_v hear_v say_v our_o saviour_n that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v by_o they_o of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o in_o the_o xx_o the_o of_o exodus_fw-la the_o command_n be_v absolute_a and_o express_a thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o some_o we_o know_v have_v be_v so_o very_o tender_a as_o to_o imagine_v that_o it_o be_v no_o less_o unlawful_a in_o any_o case_n or_o upon_o any_o pretence_n to_o put_v a_o man_n to_o death_n than_o other_o have_v think_v it_o to_o be_v to_o take_v a_o oath_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o that_o prohibition_n be_v deliver_v to_o the_o jew_n god_n himself_o establish_v the_o power_n of_o life_n and_o death_n in_o the_o civil_a magistrate_n and_o in_o one_o of_o the_o first_o law_n that_o be_v give_v to_o mankind_n declare_v 6_o that_o whoso_o shed_v man_n blood_n by_o man_n shall_v his_o blood_n be_v shed_v 22._o to_o know_v therefore_o how_o far_o we_o be_v to_o extend_v the_o force_n of_o any_o prohibition_n we_o must_v consider_v not_o only_o how_o general_n the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n be_v but_o what_o be_v the_o occasion_n and_o design_n of_o make_v of_o it_o now_o the_o end_n of_o the_o six_o commandment_n be_v to_o restrain_v private_a violence_n and_o to_o tie_v up_o man_n hand_n from_o rash_o assault_v and_o hurt_v of_o one_o another_o and_o therefore_o to_o private_a person_n and_o in_o all_o the_o common_a circumstance_n of_o life_n the_o command_n be_v absolute_a and_o admit_v of_o no_o restriction_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v but_o in_o the_o public_a administration_n of_o justice_n in_o defence_n of_o a_o man_n be_v own_o life_n in_o a_o lawful_a war_n where_o the_o welfare_n and_o security_n of_o our_o country_n be_v at_o stake_n in_o these_o case_n as_o the_o design_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o concern_v so_o neither_o must_v the_o mean_v of_o it_o be_v extend_v to_o they_o 23._o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o
