of_o host_n 19.18_o host_n esay_n 19.18_o four_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o quite_o take_v away_o all_o swear_v appear_v by_o these_o reason_n i._o because_o he_o say_v himself_o he_o come_v not_o to_o destroy_v the_o law_n now_o if_o he_o have_v condemn_v and_o forbid_v all_o oath_n he_o have_v dissolve_v the_o law_n and_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v swear_v by_o my_o name_n 10.20_o name_n deut._n 6.13_o and_o 10.20_o and_o therefore_o christ_n here_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o swear_v at_o all_o do_v not_o destroy_v the_o law_n but_o fulfil_v it_o because_o he_o teach_v they_o the_o way_n and_o mean_n how_o to_o fulfil_v it_o namely_o to_o take_v heed_n of_o all_o perjury_n and_o rash_a oath_n as_o we_o shall_v see_v ample_o by_o and_o by_o ii_o this_o will_v appear_v by_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o oath_n because_o a_o oath_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o invocate_a of_o god_n whereby_o we_o desire_v that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o only_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d searcher_n and_o knower_n of_o the_o heart_n will_v give_v testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n and_o punish_v he_o who_o swear_v if_o willing_o or_o witting_o he_o affirm_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v false_a now_o none_o without_o blasphemy_n can_v say_v that_o christ_n forbid_v and_o condemn_v invocation_n of_o god_n iii_o the_o truth_n hereof_o appear_v by_o the_o end_n and_o use_v of_o a_o oath_n both_o in_o regard_n of_o god_n and_o man_n first_o a_o oath_n ascribe_v unto_o god_n 1._o the_o laud_n and_o praise_n of_o infinite_a wisdom_n because_o he_o only_o know_v the_o most_o secret_a corner_n and_o passage_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o understand_v all_o truth_n and_o therefore_o we_o implore_v his_o presence_n to_o testify_v the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o be_v deliver_v 2._o a_o oath_n do_v ascribe_v unto_o god_n the_o praise_n of_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o justice_n because_o he_o be_v the_o only_a defender_n of_o truth_n and_o avenger_n of_o falsehood_n and_o therefore_o we_o desire_v in_o swear_v that_o if_o we_o utter_v any_o falsehood_n god_n will_v judge_v we_o and_o make_v we_o example_n unto_o other_o second_o in_o regard_n of_o man_n swear_v be_v the_o very_a bond_n of_o all_o humane_a society_n and_o civil_a government_n which_o can_v subsist_v without_o truth_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o among_o man_n swear_v be_v the_o end_n of_o all_o strife_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v there_o be_v no_o great_a better_a nor_o sure_a way_n to_o be_v believe_v then_o by_o take_v a_o lawful_a oath_n because_o he_o who_o make_v no_o conscience_n of_o a_o oath_n make_v conscience_n of_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o to_o condemn_v and_o forbid_v all_o swear_n be_v to_o detract_v from_o god_n glory_n and_o to_o destroy_v and_o dissolve_v the_o bond_n of_o humane_a society_n s_o society_n pareus_n s_o iv_o that_o christ_n do_v not_o quite_o take_v away_o all_o oath_n appear_v because_o there_o be_v nothing_o command_v in_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n which_o be_v sin_n in_o itself_o and_o therefore_o christ_n will_v not_o forbid_v that_o which_o be_v good_a v._o because_o swear_v be_v commend_v as_o a_o special_a part_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o a_o excellent_a sign_n of_o a_o upright_a man_n yea_o have_v a_o promise_n of_o blessedness_n whence_o i_o argue_v thus_o that_o which_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n commend_v in_o scripture_n as_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o a_o sign_n of_o a_o upright_a and_o holy_a man_n and_o which_o god_n the_o father_n promise_v to_o reward_v with_o eternal_a happiness_n that_o god_n the_o son_n will_v never_o quite_o take_v away_o condemn_v or_o prohibit_v but_o swear_v true_o and_o lawful_o by_o god_n be_v commend_v by_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n and_o a_o sign_n of_o a_o upright_a and_o holy_a man_n and_o have_v a_o promise_n from_o god_n the_o father_n of_o eternal_a glory_n therefore_o god_n the_o son_n will_v never_o quite_o take_v it_o away_o the_o first_o proposition_n i_o take_v as_o grant_v because_o i_o hope_v none_o will_v deny_v it_o the_o second_o may_v be_v thus_o confirm_v every_o one_o that_o swear_v by_o god_n shall_v glory_v but_o the_o mouth_n of_o they_o that_o speak_v lie_n shall_v be_v stop_v here_o be_v both_o a_o antithesis_fw-la between_o the_o wicked_a and_o those_o who_o swear_v by_o god_n as_o also_o a_o promise_n make_v unto_o such_o 63.11_o such_o psal_n 63.11_o thou_o shall_v swear_v say_v jeremiah_n

that_o christ_n condemn_v not_o all_o swear_n because_o he_o say_v here_o thou_o shall_v not_o swear_v by_o heaven_n or_o by_o earth_n or_o by_o jerusalem_n or_o by_o thy_o head_n but_o he_o do_v not_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o swear_v by_o god_n and_o we_o allow_v of_o no_o other_o oath_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o general_a answer_n to_o the_o second_o objection_n that_o our_o saviour_n do_v not_o prohibit_v all_o swear_n in_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o swear_v at_o all_o answ_n 2_o second_o the_o meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n be_v thou_o shall_v not_o swear_v at_o all_o ordinary_o in_o thy_o common_a talk_n and_o thus_o saint_n james_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v when_o he_o say_v swear_v not_o neither_o by_o heaven_n nor_o by_o earth_n nor_o by_o any_o other_o

37._o whatsoever_o in_o our_o common_a talk_n be_v more_o than_o yea_o or_o nay_o come_v of_o evil_a that_o be_v from_o that_o evil_a one_o the_o devil_n answ_n 2_o second_o because_o swear_v arise_v from_o no_o internal_a concupiscence_n and_o therefore_o be_v more_o inexcusable_a it_o proceed_v not_o from_o any_o desire_n of_o honour_n or_o pleasure_n or_o gain_v or_o ease_n and_o idleness_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o to_o be_v acquire_v by_o common_a swear_n it_o only_o proceed_v from_o a_o perverse_a nature_n and_o therefore_o as_o he_o be_v the_o best_a christian_n who_o

at_o die_n shall_v pray_v god_n to_o send_v he_o a_o good_a cast_n profane_v that_o worship_n answ_n 5_o five_o because_o by_o this_o usual_a swear_n we_o defile_v and_o pollute_v our_o tongue_n
