fire_n assure_o believe_v that_o while_o i_o have_v a_o respect_n unto_o all_o the_o command_v of_o christ_n jesus_n i_o shall_v never_o be_v ashamed_a and_o if_o in_o this_o matter_n concern_v

for_o where_o glory_n be_v give_v to_o god_n on_o high_a there_o be_v peace_n on_o earth_n and_o good_a will_n to_o all_o man_n on_o earth_n below_o and_o all_o who_o wait_v in_o the_o light_n of_o

though_o bear_v through_o much_o suffering_n the_o end_n

therefore_o as_o they_o be_v not_o to_o swear_v by_o the_o lord_n so_o neither_o may_v they_o swear_v by_o heaven_n it_o be_v god_n throne_n which_o will_v amount_v to_o swear_v by_o god_n that_o

therefore_o it_o be_v evident_a none_o of_o christ_n word_n be_v speak_v in_o vain_a that_o christ_n jesus_n do_v not_o only_o forbid_v all_o swear_n by_o the_o creature_n but_o also_o by_o the_o

until_o christ_n jesus_n the_o true_a and_o faithful_a witness_n and_o ground_n of_o all_o true_a witness_n bear_v be_v make_v manifest_a to_o restore_v the_o true_a witness-bearing_a as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o now_o christ_n be_v come_v and_o have_v choose_v his_o disciple_n out_o of_o the_o world_n to_o be_v his_o witness_n and_o to_o place_n and_o restore_v the_o true_a witness-bearing_a unto_o and_o among_o they_o who_o he_o have_v appoint_v to_o be_v light_n and_o good_a example_n unto_o the_o world_n he_o therefore_o take_v away_o swear_v which_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n but_o be_v add_v because_o of_o transgression_n as_o before_o be_v say_v and_o as_o be_v more_o than_o yea_o and_o nay_o that_o he_o may_v restore_v and_o place_v the_o true_a witness-bearing_a which_o be_v of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o to_o abide_v in_o the_o house_n and_o among_o the_o household_n of_o god_n for_o ever_o for_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n where_o he_o say_v let_v your_o yea_o be_v yea_o and_o your_o nay_o nay_o for_o whatsoever_o be_v more_o than_o these_o come_v of_o evil_n that_o swear_a being_n more_o than_o yea_o and_o nay_o the_o original_a ground_n or_o cause_n thereof_o in_o man_n come_v of_o the_o evil_a and_o not_o of_o the_o good_a in_o man_n and_o thus_o christ_n jesus_n have_v forbid_v all_o swear_n whatsoever_o as_o aforesaid_a and_o take_v away_o the_o first_o ground_n or_o cause_n thereof_o in_o his_o disciple_n he_o according_a to_o the_o will_n and_o promise_v of_o god_n in_o the_o place_n

or_o before_o a_o magistrate_n in_o witness-bearing_a and_o this_o witness_n be_v of_o god_n will_v not_o lie_v and_o be_v therefore_o the_o great_a witness_n which_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v have_v in_o himself_o according_a to_o 1_o job._n 5.9_o 10._o and_o the_o testimony_n that_o be_v bear_v from_o this_o and_o according_a to_o this_o word_n of_o truth_n in_o the_o heart_n in_o
