something_o against_o swear_v and_o concerning_o the_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n as_o it_o be_v the_o disciple_n religion_n principle_n and_o practice_n to_o obey_v christ_n command_n as_o in_o matth._n 5._o 34._o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o swear_v not_o at_o all_o neither_o by_o heaven_n for_o it_o be_v god_n throne_n nor_o by_o the_o earth_n for_o it_o be_v his_o footstool_n neither_o by_o jerusalem_n for_o it_o be_v the_o city_n of_o the_o great_a king_n neither_o shall_v thou_o swear_v by_o thy_o head_n for_o thou_o can_v not_o make_v one_o hair_n white_a or_o black_a but_o 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_a and_o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n religion_n and_o practice_n they_o preach_v this_o doctrine_n unto_o other_o as_o it_o be_v write_v james_n 5._o 12._o but_o above_o all_o thing_n my_o brethren_n swear_v not_o neither_o by_o heaven_n neither_o by_o the_o earth_n neither_o by_o any_o other_o oath_n but_o let_v your_o yea_o be_v yea_o and_o your_o nay_o nay_o lest_o you_o fall_v into_o condemnation_n so_o this_o be_v our_o doctrine_n principle_n and_o practice_n that_o we_o can_v swear_v at_o all_o by_o any_o oath_n lest_o we_o fall_v into_o condemnation_n and_o so_o sin_n against_o christ_n and_o if_o we_o do_v suffer_v or_o be_v persecute_v and_o imprison_v because_o we_o can_v swear_v than_o it_o be_v for_o our_o religion_n and_o exercise_v of_o our_o conscience_n and_o obedience_n of_o truth_n unto_o our_o god_n in_o which_o suffering_n we_o shall_v rather_o die_v then_o sin_n against_o he_o and_o whereas_o it_o be_v require_v of_o we_o to_o testify_v our_o obedience_n as_o subject_n unto_o charles_n the_o second_o as_o our_o lawful_a king_n and_o own_o his_o supremacy_n and_o government_n in_o all_o just_a and_o lawful_a command_n whereupon_o a_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n and_o supremacy_n be_v tender_v as_o it_o be_v our_o principle_n and_o have_v ever_o be_v our_o practice_n to_o be_v obedient_a subject_n under_o every_o power_n ordain_v of_o god_n and_o to_o every_o ordinance_n of_o man_n set_v up_o by_o he_o for_o

the_o praise_n of_o they_o that_o do_v well_o 1_o pet._n 2._o 13._o 14._o and_o unto_o such_o we_o do_v free_o promise_v obedience_n unto_o all_o just_a and_o lawful_a command_n and_o we_o do_v own_o and_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v not_o without_o but_o according_a to_o the_o purpose_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o have_v this_o day_n and_o power_n give_v he_o as_o king_n head_n and_o chief_a magistrate_n over_o this_o nation_n that_o while_o he_o have_v his_o day_n and_o power_n he_o may_v rule_v for_o god_n in_o civil_a and_o outward_a affair_n and_o matter_n relate_v unto_o the_o outward_a man_n and_o estate_n in_o which_o all_o his_o just_a and_o lawful_a command_n we_o can_v willing_o be_v subject_a unto_o not_o for_o wrath_n but_o even_o for_o conscience_n sake_n and_o all_o command_n which_o be_v otherwise_o whether_o from_o he_o or_o any_o other_o we_o shall_v willing_o and_o patient_o suffer_v under_o they_o what_o man_n shall_v be_v permit_v to_o impose_v upon_o we_o and_o thus_o we_o do_v accept_v and_o own_v the_o king_n and_o his_o government_n as_o he_o and_o it_o be_v according_a to_o god_n and_o answerable_a unto_o he_o we_o be_v willing_o obedient_a and_o in_o conscience_n bind_v to_o accept_v it_o and_o shall_v yield_v subjection_n thereunto_o but_o if_o otherwise_o contrary_a to_o god_n he_o rule_v in_o tyranny_n oppression_n injustice_n or_o the_o like_a that_o we_o must_v bear_v witness_n against_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n but_o not_o by_o outward_a opposition_n as_o rebellion_n by_o insurrection_n plot_n or_o carnal_a weapon_n to_o destroy_v or_o overthrow_v either_o he_o or_o the_o government_n thereby_o for_o that_o be_v contrary_a to_o our_o life_n but_o as_o for_o swear_v it_o be_v contrary_a both_o to_o christ_n command_n and_o our_o conscience_n as_o we_o never_o have_v so_o we_o never_o shall_v swear_v neither_o for_o nor_o against_o any_o man_n power_n or_o government_n but_o shall_v be_v true_a and_o faithful_a to_o what_o we_o promise_v and_o profess_v and_o as_o concerning_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o spiritual_a thing_n relate_v unto_o god_n kingdom_n we_o own_o only_a jesus_n christ_n
