A31179	The case of the Quakers relating to oaths stated wherein they are discovered, to oppose prophetical, to pervert evangelical, to falsifie ecclesiastical, and to contradict their own doctrine.	J. S.	1696 (1696)	Wing C1151; ESTC R3580	36,928	45

oath_n as_o they_o establish_v it_o while_o they_o forbid_v all_o irreverentiall_a swear_n by_o so_o much_o as_o god_n creature_n forbid_v to_o swear_v at_o all_o though_o it_o be_v but_o by_o the_o creature_n light_o and_o in_o common_a discourse_n upon_o this_o reason_n because_o he_o that_o swear_v by_o heaven_n swear_v by_o he_o who_o throne_n it_o be_v he_o that_o swear_v by_o earth_n swear_v by_o he_o who_o footstool_n it_o be_v because_o though_o god_n name_n be_v not_o express_o mention_v in_o such_o form_n of_o oath_n yet_o it_o be_v imply_v and_o therefore_o we_o be_v not_o to_o use_v such_o form_n in_o our_o common_a speech_n any_o more_o than_o the_o name_n of_o god_n himself_o which_o in_o the_o opinion_n of_o all_o but_o profess_a atheist_n be_v not_o to_o be_v

none_o be_v point_n of_o the_o obligatoriness_n of_o the_o oath_n because_o he_o that_o swear_v by_o a_o false_a god_n do_v conceive_v he_o to_o be_v the_o true_a and_o under_o that_o notion_n appeal_v to_o his_o heart-searching_a knowledge_n omnipotency_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o the_o true_a god_n interpret_v it_o as_o a_o affront_n offer_v to_o he_o when_o perjury_n be_v commit_v
