A87229	The great case of conscience opened: in the particular unfolding, and examination of those two difficult texts, in Mat. 5.33,34. and Jam. 5.12. about the lawfulness or unlawfulness of swearing: wherein the evidence of Scripture-light, as laid down in the Old and New Testament, in variety of cases and examples (not hitherto insisted on) are succinctly and clearly stated; and usefully accommodated & suited to the present state and condition of many suffering Christians.

i_o now_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o end_n of_o those_o sacred_a oath_n that_o be_v voluntary_a and_o they_o be_v to_o afflict_v the_o soul_n by_o fast_v or_o otherwise_o see_v num._n 30.13_o and_o these_o be_v call_v oath_n to_o the_o lord_n psalm_n 132.1_o 2_o 3._o lord_n say_v the_o psalmist_n remember_v david_n in_o all_o his_o affliction_n how_o he_o swear_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o vow_v to_o the_o mighty_a god_n of_o jacob_n sure_o i_o will_v not_o come_v into_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o my_o house_n nor_o climb_v up_o into_o my_o bed_n i_o will_v not_o give_v sleep_n to_o my_o eye_n nor_o slumber_n to_o my_o eye_n lid_n until_o i_o have_v find_v out_o a_o place_n for_o the_o lord_n a_o habitation_n for_o the_o mighty_a god_n of_o jacob_n like_v to_o this_o be_v that_o vow_n of_o hannah_n 1_o sam._n 1.11_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v she_o a_o son_n she_o vow_v to_o give_v he_o unto_o the_o lord_n now_o the_o end_n of_o these_o oath_n be_v to_o bind_v they_o to_o perform_v to_o the_o lord_n those_o voluntary_a service_n which_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o by_o law_n to_o this_o agree_v that_o forecited_a text_n num._n 30.1_o if_o a_o man_n vow_v a_o vow_n or_o swear_v a_o oath_n unto_o the_o lord_n he_o shall_v not_o break_v his_o word_n he_o shall_v do_v according_a to_o all_o that_o proceed_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n and_o to_o these_o kind_n of_o oath_n christ_n allude_v when_o he_o say_v mat._n 5.33_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v to_o they_o of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o for-swear_a thyself_o but_o shall_v perform_v to_o the_o lord_n thy_o oath_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o voluntary_a oath_n be_v to_o bind_v the_o soul_n to_o the_o lord_n to_o perform_v to_o he_o some_o great_a piece_n of_o voluntary_a service_n and_o self-denial_n which_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o by_o any_o law_n have_v they_o not_o bind_v themselves_o by_o a_o oath_n i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o last_o

5.34_o where_o christ_n say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o negative_o that_o this_o text_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o forbid_v the_o use_n of_o all_o such_o swear_v as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n my_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o some_o such_o swear_v be_v use_v by_o christ_n himself_o mat._n 26.63_o christ_n be_v before_o the_o counsel_n be_v examine_v by_o the_o priest_n but_o the_o text_n say_v jesus_n hold_v his_o peace_n then_o the_o high_a priest_n adjure_v he_o by_o the_o live_a god_n or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o plain_a english_a he_o charge_v he_o to_o swear_v by_o the_o live_a god_n to_o tell_v he_o whether_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o which_o adjuration_n jesus_n answer_v thou_o have_v say_v or_o i_o be_o for_o so_o it_o be_v mark_v 14.62_o now_o to_o answer_n to_o a_o matter_n when_o one_o be_v adjure_v by_o the_o live_a god_n though_o it_o be_v but_o yea_o or_o amen_o be_v one_o manner_n of_o swear_v that_o be_v frequent_o use_v under_o the_o law_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v from_o levit._n 5.1.1_o kin._n 22.16_o 17._o num._n 5.19_o judg._n 17.2_o neh._n 5.13_o second_o this_o text_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o take_v away_o the_o use_n of_o all_o such_o swear_v that_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n because_o those_o commandment_n contain_v in_o ordinance_n be_v not_o take_v away_o till_o the_o death_n of_o the_o testator_n ephes_n 2.15_o and_o those_o ordinance_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o we_o be_v not_o take_v away_o till_o christ_n nail_v they_o to_o his_o cross_n colos_n 2.14_o therefore_o those_o commandment_n of_o the_o law_n which_o accommodate_v humane_a affair_n and_o respect_a moral_n of_o which_o this_o of_o swear_v to_o end_v strife_n be_v none_o of_o the_o least_o can_v not_o be_v take_v away_o before_o christ_n die_v therefore_o all_o such_o oath_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n be_v not_o forbid_v by_o that_o text_n

neither_o by_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n nor_o any_o other_o oath_n i_o answer_v so_o do_v god_n borbid_v all_o manner_n of_o work_v on_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o ordinary_a and_o common_a work_n as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v in_o like_a manner_n do_v our_o saviour_n and_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v all_o common_a swear_n in_o our_o ordinary_a conversation_n and_o not_o solemn_a and_o sacred_a swear_n but_o it_o be_v further_o object_v that_o such_o swear_v be_v always_o forbid_v even_o under_o the_o law_n and_o that_o christ_n seem_v to_o forbid_v somewhat_o that_o be_v not_o forbid_v before_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o those_o word_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o etc._n etc._n do_v not_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o precept_n or_o say_n that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o law_n but_o rather_o somewhat_o that_o he_o will_v reinforce_v from_o the_o law_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o false_a gloss_n upon_o it_o have_v no_o force_n upon_o their_o life_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o law_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o kill_v but_o christ_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o hate_v their_o brother_n without_o a_o cause_n so_o say_v the_o law_n also_o levit._n 19.17_o the_o law_n say_v they_o shall_v love_v their_o neighbour_n and_o hate_v their_o enemy_n which_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o nation_n that_o god_n charge_v they_o to_o have_v no_o friendship_n with_o but_o christ_n bid_v they_o love_v their_o enemy_n which_o the_o law_n also_o bid_v they_o except_v in_o the_o case_n before_o except_v for_o this_o see_v exod_v 23.4_o if_o thou_o meet_v thy_o enemy_n ox_n or_o ass_n go_v astray_o thou_o shall_v bring_v he_o to_o he_o again_o and_o prov._n 24.17_o and_o prov._n 25.21_o if_o thy_o enemy_n hunger_n feed_v he_o now_o this_o be_v the_o false_a gloss_n because_o the_o law_n say_v that_o when_o god_n give_v they_o rest_n from_o all_o their_o enemy_n they_o shall_v not_o forget_v amaleck_n but_o put_v out_o the_o remembrance_n of_o he_o deut._n 17.18_o 19_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o friendship_n with_o that_o people_n hereupon_o they_o conclude_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n that_o they_o may_v hate_v any_o person_n that_o be_v their_o private_a enemy_n and_o avenge_v themselves_o upon_o he_o and_o so_o because_o the_o law_n say_v a_o eye_n for_o a_o eye_n and_o a_o tooth_n for_o a_o tooth_n therefore_o they_o will_v avenge_v themselves_o and_o be_v their_o own_o judge_n and_o executioner_n hereupon_o christ_n bid_v they_o not_o to_o avenge_v themselves_o this_o be_v also_o forbid_v under_o the_o law_n levit._n 19.18_o thou_o shall_v not_o avenge_v so_o the_o law_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n but_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o have_v commit_v adultery_n with_o she_o in_o his_o heart_n now_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o be_v always_o a_o sin_n prov._n 6.25_o and_o so_o because_o the_o law_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o forswear_v themselves_o they_o matter_a not_o though_o they_o swear_v upon_o every_o trivial_a and_o slight_a occasion_n so_o as_o they_o do_v not_o forswear_v they_o think_v they_o be_v not_o too_o blame_v to_o this_o false_a gloss_n of_o their_o christ_n oppose_v when_o he_o say_v but_o i_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o second_o christ_n oppose_v his_o speech_n to_o another_o custom_n of_o they_o which_o be_v that_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o forswear_v their selve_o but_o perform_v to_o the_o lord_n their_o oath_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o matter_n what_o they_o swear_v by_o so_o they_o perform_v the_o thing_n they_o promise_v therefore_o christ_n forbid_v their_o swear_v any_o

we_o must_v not_o swear_v by_o the_o lord_n in_o thing_n lawful_a so_o that_o by_o this_o text_n and_o that_o in_o james_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o swear_v by_o any_o oath_n that_o we_o call_v any_o
