yet_o the_o name_n of_o god_n may_v be_v take_v in_o vain_a and_o without_o just_a cause_n or_o necessity_n to_o confirm_v the_o same_o justice_n be_v require_v chief_o in_o a_o promissorie_a oath_n to_o wit_n wherein_o something_o be_v promise_v for_o the_o future_a time_n to_o be_v do_v or_o omit_v and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o promise_v any_o thing_n which_o be_v unjust_a so_o be_v it_o more_o unlawful_a to_o confirm_v that_o unjust_a promise_n by_o oath_n yet_o justice_n may_v also_o sometime_o be_v want_v in_o a_o assertorie_n oath_n as_o when_o one_o reveal_v a_o

promissorie_a oath_n want_v verity_n but_o truth_n and_o verity_n be_v chief_o require_v in_o assertorie_n oath_n to_o wit_n wherein_o some_o thing_n be_v affirm_v to_o be_v true_a or_o false_a and_o therefore_o as_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o one_o to_o affirm_v that_o to_o be_v true_a which_o he_o know_v to_o be_v false_a and_o contrariwise_o for_o this_o be_v express_o and_o formal_o to_o lie_v

it_o be_v much_o more_o unlawful_a to_o confirm_v the_o same_o by_o oath_n 2._o whereupon_o perjury_n be_v define_v by_o the_o schoole-divines_a to_o be_v a_o lie_n confirm_v by_o oath_n thom._n
