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.

6.30_o give_v to_o every_o man_n that_o ask_v and_o of_o he_o that_o take_v away_o thy_o good_n ask_v they_o not_o again_o and_o mat._n 5.44_o christ_n say_v give_v to_o every_o man_n that_o ask_v

the_o conscience_n of_o all_o unprejudiced_a man_n whether_o christ_n in_o his_o sermon_n mat._n 5.42_o do_v not_o as_o firm_o forbid_v our_o turn_n away_o from_o any_o one_o that_o will_v borrow_v of_o we_o as_o he_o do_v forbid_v all_o swear_n in_o the_o same_o sermon_n when_o he_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o and_o if_o so_o why_o shall_v any_o be_v offend_v for_o put_v a_o restriction_n upon_o the_o one_o text_n when_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o themselves_o be_v willing_a to_o put_v upon_o the_o other_o since_o as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o be_v as_o good_a scripture_n and_o reason_n for_o the_o restrain_v those_o general_a term_n swear_v not_o at_o all_o as_o there_o be_v for_o the_o restrain_v those_o other_o word_n of_o christ_n give_v to_o every_o one_o that_o

mat._n 5._o and_o james_n 5._o do_v not_o forbid_v all_o such_o swear_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n my_o last_o business_n be_v to_o show_v what_o swear_v be_v forbid_v in_o those_o two_o

little_o do_v people_n think_v that_o this_o manner_n of_o speak_v be_v a_o oath_n and_o such_o a_o oath_n that_o god_n expect_v the_o performance_n of_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o 2d_o question_n
