therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v mutable_a and_o separable_a from_o the_o oath_n it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n to_o make_v the_o first_o truth_n good_a viz._n that_o our_o mind_n and_o intention_n

therefore_o consider_v the_o case_n 25._o sect._n 25._o how_o far_o these_o oath_n oblige_v and_o when_o or_o where_o the_o obligation_n cease_v for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o there_o be_v a_o unquestionable_a truth_n in_o both_o these_o proposition_n 1._o that_o though_o a_o lawful_a oath_n general_o oblige_v yet_o there_o be_v some_o case_n and_o time_n where_o it_o oblige_v not_o and_o 2._o that_o there_o be_v some_o kind_n of_o unlawful_a oath_n that_o still_o oblige_v so_o that_o on_o the_o one_o side_n sometime_o a_o oath_n may_v be_v lawful_o swear_v yet_o afterward_o unlawful_o keep_v on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o may_v be_v unlawful_o swear_v yet_o may_v be_v lawful_o keep_v and_o will_v be_v unlawful_o break_v therefore_o as_o to_o the_o lawfulness_n 26._o sect._n 26._o or_o unlawfulness_n of_o oath_n i_o must_v premise_v this_o distinction_n which_o be_v but_o necessary_a for_o the_o better_a understanding_n wherein_o they_o be_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a and_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o clear_a judgement_n of_o the_o obligation_n oath_n may_v be_v say_v lawful_a or_o unlawful_a 1._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o imposer_n or_o exacter_n of_o they_o they_o be_v lawful_a when_o we_o be_v call_v to_o swear_v by_o a_o just_a and_o lawful_a authority_n unlawful_o impose_v when_o by_o a_o usurp_a and_o unlawful_a authority_n 2._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o act_n manner_n and_o motive_n of_o swear_v it_o be_v lawful_a when_o upon_o a_o lawful_a cell_n from_o a_o honest_a heart_n upon_o mature_a judgement_n but_o not_o so_o when_o rash_a or_o inconsiderate_a draw_v by_o affection_n hurry_v by_o possion_n drive_v by_o fear_n or_o extort_a by_o force_n 3._o in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n swear_v to_o whether_o just_a and_o honest_a or_o evil_a and_o unlawful_a to_o be_v do_v in_o the_o first_o notion_n a_o unlawful_a oath_n may_v oblige_v sometime_o in_o the_o second_o but_o never_o in_o the_o last_o these_o thing_n will_v help_v we_o to_o judge_v what_o oath_n be_v lawful_o or_o unlawful_o take_v and_o when_o the_o obligation_n of_o a_o lawful_a oath_n cease_v and_o where_o it_o continue_v and_o where_o a_o unlawful_a oath_n oblige_v or_o oblige_v not_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o my_o thought_n in_o these_o conclusion_n 1._o it_o be_v beyond_o all_o question_n that_o all_o oath_n 27._o sect._n 27._o lawful_o require_v to_o which_o we_o be_v call_v by_o a_o just_a authority_n the_o matter_n whereof_o be_v just_a honest_a and_o in_o our_o power_n to_o perform_v do_v indispensible_o oblige_v the_o conscience_n so_o long_o and_o so_o far_o as_o those_o who_o require_v the_o oath_n will_v that_o they_o shall_v this_o i_o take_v as_o so_o clear_a and_o unquestionable_a that_o it_o need_v no_o proof_n nor_o explication_n 2._o all_o oath_n 28._o sect._n 28._o where_o the_o matter_n be_v just_a or_o they_o oblige_v not_o to_o any_o dishonest_a thing_n though_o they_o be_v rash_o swear_v or_o upon_o surprise_n though_o impose_v by_o unjust_a power_n extort_a by_o force_n and_o can_v be_v keep_v but_o to_o our_o own_o inconvenience_n and_o so_o consequent_o unlawful_a oath_n perhaps_o snful_o swear_v as_o be_v contrary_a to_o that_o condition_n of_o swear_v in_o judgement_n yet_o may_v lawful_o be_v keep_v yea_o sometime_o and_o in_o some_o case_n do_v oblige_v and_o may_v not_o be_v break_v such_o be_v
