A39525	A position and testimony against all swearing under the gospel In which may be seen, I. That Christ hath forbidden all sorts of oaths. II. What Christ hath substituted instead of an oath. III. Reasons for that prohibition and substitution. With an answer to all the material objections that are, or may be, alledged from the scriptures.

into_o confess_v in_o which_o it_o be_v to_o be_v fulfil_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n therefore_o now_o it_o may_v be_v evident_a from_o hence_o that_o no_o sentence_n or_o prophecy_n speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n though_o express_v in_o moysaicall_a term_n or_o in_o such_o term_n as_o be_v under_o the_o law_n aught_o to_o be_v expound_v in_o any_o wise_a to_o contradict_v any_o of_o christ_n general_a command_n or_o prohibition_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o must_v be_v express_v in_o gospel_n term_n that_o agree_v therewith_o as_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o apostle_n example_n aforesaid_a object_n 4._o in_o isa._n 65._o 16._o in_o a_o prophecy_n relate_v to_o such_o time_n wherein_o new_a heaven_n and_o a_o new_a earth_n shall_v be_v create_v which_o must_v be_v in_o the_o last_o time_n it_o be_v say_v he_o that_o swear_v in_o the_o earth_n shall_v swear_v by_o the_o true_a god_n therefore_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o the_o last_o time_n which_o be_v under_o the_o gospel_n to_o swear_v by_o the_o true_a god_n answ._n if_o according_a to_o the_o apostle_n paul_n example_n before_o note_v in_o rom._n 14._o 11._o we_o change_v the_o word_n swear_v by_o the_o true_a god_n into_o confess_v unto_o the_o true_a god_n we_o may_v interpret_v it_o right_n and_o in_o gospel_n term_n and_o then_o we_o shall_v not_o make_v the_o prophet_n seem_v to_o contradict_v christ_n in_o mat._n 5._o 34._o who_o be_v lord_n of_o all_o the_o prophet_n apostle_n and_o angel_n and_o who_o we_o be_v especial_o to_o hear_v and_o obey_v in_o all_o thing_n act._n 3._o 22._o and_o also_o to_o confess_v he_o phil._n 2._o 10._o and_o therefore_o if_o there_o shall_v seem_v at_o any_o time_n a_o disagreement_n between_o the_o say_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o prophet_n or_o the_o apostle_n either_o christ_n saying_n ought_v not_o be_v strain_v to_o comply_v with_o they_o who_o be_v his_o servant_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a their_o say_n must_v yield_v and_o comply_v to_o his_o who_o be_v their_o lord_n and_o who_o we_o ought_v especial_o to_o hear_v and_o obey_v in_o all_o thing_n as_o aforesaid_a object_n 5._o in_o jerem._n 12._o 16_o 17._o it_o be_v say_v concern_v the_o gentile_n that_o if_o they_o will_v learn_v the_o way_n of_o my_o people_n to_o swear_v by_o my_o name_n the_o lord_n live_v as_o they_o teach_v my_o people_n to_o swear_v by_o baal_n then_o shall_v they_o be_v build_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o my_o people_n but_o if_o they_o will_v not_o obey_v then_o will_v i_o utter_o pluck_v up_o and_o destroy_v that_o nation_n say_v the_o lord_n now_o here_o be_v a_o promise_n of_o acceptance_n to_o those_o that_o will_v learn_v to_o swear_v by_o god_n name_n and_o a_o threaten_v of_o utter_a destruction_n to_o such_o as_o will_v not_o therefore_o now_o how_o dare_v any_o refuse_n to_o swear_v by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n upon_o a_o solemn_a and_o a_o lawful_a account_n answ._n this_o be_v speak_v under_o the_o law_n wherein_o swear_v be_v and_o though_o it_o be_v speak_v to_o the_o gentile_n yet_o it_o be_v to_o such_o gentile_n as_o teach_v israel_n to_o swear_v by_o baal_n and_o which_o must_v be_v in_o baal_n time_n that_o be_v long_o before_o the_o gospel_n time_n therefore_o what_o be_v this_o to_o christian_n under_o the_o gospel_n but_o if_o it_o can_v be_v prove_v that_o this_o prophecy_n do_v relate_v to_o the_o gentile_n under_o the_o gospel_n then_o according_a to_o paul_n exposition_n of_o the_o word_n swear_v under_o the_o gospel_n dispensation_n it_o must_v be_v expound_v that_o they_o must_v learn_v the_o way_n of_o his_o people_n to_o confess_v to_o his_o name_n and_o that_o he_o live_v which_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o all_o christian_n to_o do_v as_o in_o mat._n 10._o 32._o rom._n 10._o 9_o 10._o and_o 14._o 11._o object_n 6._o if_o christ_n prohibition_n to_o swear_v be_v so_o general_a that_o no_o oath_n be_v lawful_a to_o swear_v in_o any_o case_n under_o the_o gospel_n why_o do_v the_o apostle_n in_o heb._n 6._o 16._o say_v for_o man_n very_o swear_v by_o the_o great_a and_o a_o oath_n for_o confirmation_n be_v to_o they_o a_o end_n of_o all_o strife_n answ._n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o such_o man_n as_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o by_o way_n of_o similitude_n why_o they_o use_v a_o oath_n in_o such_o time_n as_o god_n confirm_v his_o promise_n to_o abraham_n by_o a_o

according_a to_o the_o gospel_n than_o there_o be_v toleration_n in_o jam._n 3._o 9_o for_o any_o to_o curse_v man_n because_o the_o apostle_n there_o say_v with_o the_o tongue_n we_o bless_v man_n and_o therewith_o curse_v we_o man_n yet_o this_o ought_v not_o so_o to_o be_v as_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o next_o verse_n object_n 7._o if_o christ_n say_v in_o mat._n 5._o 37._o whatsoever_o be_v more_o than_o these_o come_v of_o evil_a prove_v all_o oath_n to_o be_v evil_a because_o they_o be_v more_o than_o bare_o yea_o yea_o and_o nay_o nay_o how_o be_v it_o that_o god_n have_v swear_v

any_o thing_n after_o christ_n have_v forbid_v it_o be_v from_o evil_a though_o not_o before_o because_o the_o break_n of_o christ_n command_n be_v from_o evil_a and_o from_o the_o devil_n for_o none_o else_o will_v tempt_v any_o one_o so_o to_o do_v except_o such_o as_o be_v his_o servant_n and_o obey_v he_o under_o the_o law_n god_n allow_v a_o eye_n for_o a_o eye_n and_o a_o tooth_n for_o a_o tooth_n which_o then_o can_v not_o come_v from_o evil_a because_o god_n never_o allow_v any_o thing_n that_o come_v from_o evil_a but_o after_o christ_n have_v forbid_v this_o with_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v allow_v under_o the_o law_n and_o command_v the_o contrary_a instead_o thereof_o the_o break_n of_o his_o command_n come_v of_o evil_a and_o from_o the_o devil_n that_o tempt_v

after_o christ_n prohibition_n in_o mat._n 5._o 34._o answ._n that_o angel_n have_v a_o peculiar_a commission_n that_o extend_v through_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n wherein_o swear_v be_v and_o speak_v as_o god_n representative_a or_o ambassador_n which_o will_v be_v a_o presumption_n for_o man_n to_o imitate_v for_o as_o god_n aforetime_o confirm_v his_o promise_n unto_o abraham_n and_o to_o his_o whole_a seed_n by_o a_o oath_n gen._n 22._o 16._o so_o again_o by_o his_o angel_n in_o rev._n 10._o 6_o 7._o he_o seem_v in_o like_a manner_n as_o by_o a_o oath_n to_o confirm_v the_o

to_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n therefore_o that_o be_v no_o example_n for_o we_o to_o follow_v however_o if_o any_o shall_v still_o think_v this_o answer_v not_o sufficient_a or_o full_a enough_o to_o the_o matter_n let_v it_o be_v further_o consider_v that_o we_o read_v no_o where_o that_o christ_n forbid_v angel_n to_o swear_v but_o he_o plain_o command_v man_n not_o to_o swear_v at_o all_o so_o the_o evil_a lie_n in_o break_v christ_n command_n and_o in_o man_n that_o so_o do_v to_o who_o his_o command_n extend_v object_n 9_o christ_n in_o mat._n 5._o 34._o forbid_v only_o such_o oath_n as_o be_v make_v by_o the_o creature_n as_o by_o heaven_n earth_n etc._n etc._n because_o he_o enumerate_v and_o mention_n some_o such_o create_a thing_n and_o all_o vain_a and_o rash_a
