an imposer of Oaths upon tender Consciences who professeth thy self a Minister of Christ who did forbid all swearing and his Minister did preach against it and said above all things swear not at all lest they fall into condemnation but it is manifest that thy Ministry is to bring people into condemnation and not into the obedience to Christs command therefore they that fear God will turn away from such 2 Tim. 3.5 Now saith Jo. Tombs the grand objection against swearing is our Saviours words Mat. 5.34 35 36 37. and Jam. 5.12 which words saith he doth seem expresly and fully to forbid any swearing at all excluding some sorts of Oaths by name and the rest by general terms that our Communication should be yea yea nay nay and what is more cometh of evil or of the evil One yet saith he we must of necessity find out a limitation of the speeches as we do and the limitation is this that is frequent vain light prophane unnecessary customary passionate swearing or in secular matters of no importance which in these Scriptures are forbidden Ans. Indeed it doth plainly appear that thou must of necessity either disprove Christs words or else deny thy own seeing they are contrary the one to the other so therefore thou sayest that it was those Oaths above mentioned that was forbidden by Christ and the Apostles And I shall shew it plainly that thou hast no necessity to limit Christs words to vain and prophane swearing out onely that thou would have thy words true and his false for Christs words in Mat. 5. doth not intend such Oaths for he speaks of the true Oaths which was used amongst the Jewes and such Oaths as Christ told them they were to perform for it was not said in old time that they should perform vain light prophane unnecess●ry customary and passionate Oaths but such as they were to perform betwixt the Lord and them and the solemn vowes and Covenants which they made in old time to their Kings and one unto another the Christians now by the command of Christ was not to swear these Oaths neither any Oath true nor false so that Christ is not to be limited to intend vain Oaths when as for instance Christ mentions the Jewes swearing who was in the Commandment who did deny all vain customary false and passionate swearing so that Jo. Tombs limitation is taken away and Christs meaning must be as large as his words which is not to swear at all by any Oath but to keep to yea and nay in all promises professions and engagements upon all occasions and so to keep out of the condemnation whereby all peoples Consciences may be kept clean to the Lord in all things and they brought to the exercise of a good Conscience for the Lord is now teaching his people himself and bringing them to obey the doctrine of his Son in which they may find peace for their soules and not to be in bondage unto such Teachers as are given to change with every Government who preach as the false Prophets did for handfuls of barley and pieces of bread and such are they who preach the lawfulnesse of swearing or sinning against Christs command but the Lord hath made them manifest and is redeeming his elect and chosen from amongst such who have made a prey upon people and fed upon their sins but not upon the life which the Saints was in A true Testimony of the Jews swearing under the Law mentioned in 113. Scriptures with a distinction also of the Apostate Christians swearing without either Law or Gospel for example in their oaths And also the Christians state under the gospel ministration and new Covenant how they are by Christ commanded not to swear at all plainly made manifest from the Scripture THe Jews swear the Apostate Christians swear but the true Christians who are redeemed out of the Apostacy that sees Christ Jesus that was before the Jewes and Apostates cannot swear at all in whom we see that the doctrine of the Jews was to swear the doctrine of the Apostates is to swear the doctrine of Christ and his Apostles was not to swear at all the Jews sware by the living God but the Apostates by the book which is not comparable to the Jews swearing Here is a list of the Scriptures which was spoken to them of the old time and the Law and first Covenant who swore and was to swear and perform their oaths to the Lord which Christ ends who saith swear not at all but in all your Communications let your yea be yea and your nay nay for whatsoever is more cometh of evil and this said be to whom all power in heaven and earth was given who put down swearing in the Law first Covenant and old time which were true Oaths not frivolous for the frivolous was judged by them of the Law first Covenant and old time for that Oath which Christ puts down was that which was sworn to the Lord and was to be performed in the state of the Law first Covenant and the old time since man was drove from God into the earth which Law first Covenant Christ ends and Oath and redeems man out of the earth and makes all things new who saith swear not at all now as followeth are the Scriptures which was spoken to the Jews and them of the old time that swore Abimelech and his Captain and Abraham sware Gen. 21.23 24 31. Christ which was before Abraham was said swear not at all that is the Covenant that ends Abrahams and Abimelechs Covenant and saith they must keep to yea and nay in their communications And the Lord sware unto Abraham Gen. 24.7 that unto his seed he would give the land and that Oath was performed and Christ being come who was before Abraham who saith swear not at all And Abrahams servant swore to Abraham Gen. 2.4.9.37 And Esau sware to Jacob and sold his birth-right Gen. 25.33 and Joseph sware by the life of Pharaoh Gen. 42.15 but Christ reigns over the house of Joseph and Jacob which saith swear not at all and the house of Esau must be as stubble And chap. 26.3 the Lord said he would perform his oath to Abraham which he sware that his seed should be as the stars of heaven this was before Christ was come in the flesh who was b●fore Abraham who saith swear not at all And Isaac and Abimelechs Captain sware and an oath was betwixt them and this was in the old time and in Isaac was the seed called Christ Jesus who said swear not at all Gen 26.30.31 chap. 31.53 Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac in whom as I said before the seed should be called who reignes over the house of Jacob who said swear not at all but in all your communications let your yea be yea and your nay nay this was in the new time the other was in the old And Joseph sware unto Jacob in Egypt in the old time but Christ as I
