for_o thou_o can_v not_o make_v one_o white_a hair_n black_a nor_o the_o contrary_a and_o because_o all_o thing_n be_v consecrate_v to_o god_n the_o maker_n thou_o ought_v to_o be_v fearful_a to_o

among_o you_o plain_a and_o simple_a speech_n ought_v to_o be_v more_o holy_a and_o more_o sure_a than_o the_o devout_a and_o solemn_a oath_n among_o the_o jew_n for_o among_o you_o who_o heart_n

no_o man_n less_o bind_v by_o his_o simple_a and_o bare_a word_n than_o the_o jew_n swear_v by_o all_o holy_a thing_n and_o he_o who_o thou_o make_v thy_o promise_n unto_o do_v trust_v thou_o as_o much_o as_o if_o thou_o have_v make_v a_o solemn_a oath_n if_o there_o be_v any_o account_n more_o beside_o these_o it_o must_v needs_o come_v of_o evil_a and_o sin_n for_o he_o that_o swear_v

scope_n of_o the_o place_n as_o we_o shall_v make_v appear_v from_o these_o four_o consideration_n 1_o sy_n the_o prohibition_n reach_v as_o well_o to_o serious_a as_o vain_a oath_n such_o as_o man_n make_v if_o they_o swear_v at_o all_o and_o aught_o to_o make_v to_o god_n only_o for_o to_o he_o alone_o shall_v they_o perform_v they_o and_o be_v they_o accountable_a for_o they_o these_o very_a allow_a oath_n of_o old_a time_n be_v the_o first_o prohibit_v by_o jesus_n christ_n it_o be_v say_v of_o old_a thou_o shall_v not_o forswear_v thyself_o but_o i_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all._n it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v not_o particularise_v what_o oath_n they_o be_v to_o keep_v of_o old_a but_o in_o general_a term_n that_o they_o be_v not_o to_o forswear_v themselves_o and_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o god_n enjoin_v they_o that_o will_v swear_v that_o they_o shall_v only_o swear_v by_o his_o name_n now_o what_o can_v be_v hence_o infer_v more_o evident_o than_o that_o man_n ought_v not_o to_o swear_v those_o oath_n under_o the_o gospel_n which_o they_o may_v swear_v and_o ought_v not_o to_o forswear_v but_o to_o perform_v unto_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o law_n 2_o dly_a christ_n

it_o be_v as_o if_o christ_n shall_v have_v say_v i_o not_o only_o command_v you_o not_o to_o forswear_v but_o perform_v as_o it_o be_v say_v to_o they_o of_o old_a time_n but_o i_o charge_v you_o not_o to_o swear_v at_o all_z i_o mean_v not_o only_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o swear_v by_o god_n and_o those_o oath_n that_o the_o pharisee_n account_v bind_v but_o also_o that_o you_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o as_o swear_v by_o those_o lesser_a oath_n as_o they_o esteem_v they_o and_o which_o they_o be_v wont_n to_o swear_v by_o for_o they_o be_v not_o less_o nor_o more_o allowable_a in_o
