twice_o as_o i_o live_v say_v the_o lord_n shall_v he_o break_v my_o covenant_n and_o escape_n all_o this_o put_v together_o speak_v the_o certainty_n of_o the_o threaten_v ver_fw-la 16_o and_o 19_o and_o also_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o the_o weightiness_n of_o it_o and_o how_o the_o lord_n look_v upon_o breach_n of_o oath_n and_o covenant_n the_o doctrine_n from_o the_o word_n be_v that_o the_o oath_n be_v indissolvable_a the_o breach_n whereof_o god_n recompense_v upon_o the_o head_n of_o those_o that_o break_v it_o it_o be_v inviolable_a it_o be_v in_o the_o word_n not_o

as_o applicable_a to_o our_o case_n consider_v the_o doctrine_n suppose_v something_o that_o be_v not_o plain_o speak_v and_o that_o be_v that_o every_o oath_n and_o covenant_n of_o god_n be_v a_o

all_o these_o be_v more_o proper_o call_v covenant_n because_o they_o be_v of_o his_o own_o devise_v but_o we_o take_v the_o covenant_n here_o in_o this_o place_n to_o be_v of_o man_n duty_n in_o the_o land_n and_o for_o keep_v they_o the_o better_a we_o take_v a_o oath_n upon_o we_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v neither_o moral_o evil_a or_o good_a but_o indifferent_a but_o a_o man_n once_o engage_v by_o oath_n can_v retract_v though_o they_o be_v not_o command_v duty_n yet_o once_o enter_v into_o they_o must_v stand_v for_o when_o we_o open_v our_o mouth_n to_o the_o lord_n we_o can_v go_v back_o but_o i_o say_v for_o clear_v this_o consider_v what_o make_v a_o oath_n and_o covenant_n of_o god_n 1_o sy_n it_o must_v be_v a_o thing_n in_o itself_o lawful_a there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o warrantable_o according_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n may_v swear_v the_o thing_n which_o in_o itself_o be_v unlawful_a 2_o dly_a it_o must_v be_v a_o thing_n in_o itself_o possible_a within_o the_o man_n power_n no_o man_n be_v warrant_v to_o swear_v that_o which_o he_o can_v perform_v 3_o dly_z when_o we_o take_v the_o vow_n and_o oath_n of_o god_n upon_o we_o we_o interpone_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o it_o we_o swear_v by_o the_o lord_n this_o be_v the_o thing_n here_o that_o make_v this_o covenant_n the_o covenant_n of_o the_o lord_n the_o king_n of_o babylon_n make_v zedekiah_n king_n of_o jerusalem_n swear_v by_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v more_o the_o covenant_n of_o the_o lord_n when_o the_o king_n be_v religious_a and_o the_o thing_n command_v of_o the_o lord_n which_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o obey_v though_o we_o have_v never_o swear_v it_o therefore_o it_o must_v stand_v once_o enter_v into_o lest_o we_o make_v enquiry_n after_o vow_n and_o so_o destroy_v that_o which_o be_v holy_a now_o for_o further_a clear_n ot_fw-mi they_fw-mi word_n consider_v 1_o st_z that_o in_o deut._n 23.21_o you_o may_v see_v how_o much_o the_o lord_n count_v a_o oath_n bind_v when_o thou_o shall_v vow_v a_o vow_n unto_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n thou_o shall_v not_o slack_v to_o pay_v it_o for_o it_o will_v be_v sin_n to_o thou_o not_o to_o perform_v it_o but_o if_o thou_o shall_v forbear_v to_o vow_n it_o shall_v be_v no_o sin_n in_o thou_o numb_a 30._o the_o lord_n give_v out_o law_n to_o moses_n for_o vow_n and_o will_v have_v they_o declare_v v_o 2._o if_o a_o man_n vow_v a_o vow_n to_o the_o lord_n or_o swear_v a_o oath_n to_o bind_v his_o soul_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 the_o scripture_n be_v very_o full_a so_o that_o a_o man_n once_o engage_v in_o duty_n if_o he_o break_v the_o vengeance_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v upon_o he_o 2_o dly_z the_o inviolableness_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n be_v found_v upon_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o order_n in_o ordinance_n to_o swear_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v it_o not_o for_o this_o think_v you_o to_o make_v the_o thing_n stand_v sure_a for_o the_o very_a law_n of_o nature_n teach_v that_o if_o a_o man_n swear_v he_o must_v swear_v by_o his_o god_n and_o must_v keep_v it_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o law_n of_o nation_n for_o the_o matter_n of_o offensive_a and_o defensive_a arm_n and_o as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o cessation_n and_o peace_n be_v not_o all_o this_o to_o hold_v out_o that_o they_o design_v to_o secure_v themselves_o by_o interpon_v the_o name_n of_o god_n to_o it_o now_o once_o allow_v this_o that_o man_n may_v retract_v and_o break_v covenant_n with_o god_n than_o we_o break_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n too_o and_o so_o there_o be_v not_o a_o nation_n under_o the_o sun_n secure_a because_o the_o way_n of_o continue_a peace_n which_o be_v by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v interpon_v be_v break_v so_o that_o neither_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n or_o nation_n if_o it_o be_v break_v can_v stand_v if_o that_o be_v grant_v than_o it_o may_v be_v retract_v the_o 3d_o confirmation_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o this_o doctrine_n the_o lord_n himself_o in_o his_o word_n have_v declare_v a_o man_n tender_a keep_n of_o the_o covenant_n vow_n or_o oath_n that_o it_o be_v exceed_o well_o please_a to_o he_o and_o that_o he_o have_v declare_v such_o a_o man_n

it_o be_v to_o his_o hurt_n the_o four_o thing_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o doctrine_n as_o to_o the_o inviolableness_n of_o the_o oath_n of_o god_n it_o appear_v and_o be_v establish_v as_o the_o lord_n have_v command_v the_o thing_n in_o his_o word_n and_o as_o it_o be_v found_v upon_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o nation_n and_o have_v the_o promise_n so_o the_o lord_n have_v
