A79863	Here is the swearers and they who swear falsly, and likewise they who compel men to swear, all tried by the law of the spirit of life which is in Chirst Jesus. Which law is holy, just, pure, and good; and all of them found guilty of sin and transgression against the true and living God; and also sentence pronounced against them all, that so transgress the Law of God, who with the wicked, and all they who forget God, must be turned into Hell, except they repent speedily; for with God there is no respect of persons in Judgement.

heathen_a emperor_n and_o cruel_a tyrant_n be_v very_o great_a and_o sore_a persecution_n of_o the_o christian_n and_o they_o have_v a_o form_n of_o a_o oath_n for_o man_n to_o swear_v by_o and_o the_o inquisitor_n of_o their_o inquisition_n put_v the_o christian_n who_o they_o persecute_v to_o swear_v by_o their_o form_n of_o oath_n whether_o that_o they_o be_v christian_n or_o no_o but_o
