A87229	The great case of conscience opened: in the particular unfolding, and examination of those two difficult texts, in Mat. 5.33,34. and Jam. 5.12. about the lawfulness or unlawfulness of swearing: wherein the evidence of Scripture-light, as laid down in the Old and New Testament, in variety of cases and examples (not hitherto insisted on) are succinctly and clearly stated; and usefully accommodated & suited to the present state and condition of many suffering Christians.

will_v think_v and_o i_o be_o persuade_v many_o do_v think_v this_o be_v not_o swear_v which_o by_o the_o scripture_n be_v as_o solemn_a swear_n as_o if_o they_o have_v utter_v the_o oath_n with_o their_o own_o mouth_n a_o oath_n like_o this_o be_v use_v in_o our_o common_a law_n where_o the_o witness_n be_v charge_v by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n the_o whole_a truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n touch_v the_o difference_n between_o party_n and_o party_n now_o his_o lay_v his_o hand_n upon_o the_o

i_o now_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o end_n of_o those_o sacred_a oath_n that_o be_v voluntary_a and_o they_o be_v to_o afflict_v the_o soul_n by_o fast_v or_o otherwise_o see_v num._n 30.13_o and_o these_o be_v call_v oath_n to_o the_o lord_n psalm_n 132.1_o 2_o 3._o lord_n say_v the_o psalmist_n remember_v david_n in_o all_o his_o affliction_n how_o he_o swear_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o vow_v to_o the_o mighty_a god_n of_o jacob_n sure_o i_o will_v not_o come_v into_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o my_o house_n nor_o climb_v up_o into_o my_o bed_n i_o will_v not_o give_v sleep_n to_o my_o eye_n nor_o slumber_n to_o my_o eye_n lid_n until_o i_o have_v find_v out_o a_o place_n for_o the_o lord_n a_o habitation_n for_o the_o mighty_a god_n of_o jacob_n like_v to_o this_o be_v that_o vow_n of_o hannah_n 1_o sam._n 1.11_o that_o if_o the_o lord_n will_v give_v she_o a_o son_n she_o vow_v to_o give_v he_o unto_o the_o lord_n now_o the_o end_n of_o these_o oath_n be_v to_o bind_v they_o to_o perform_v to_o the_o lord_n those_o voluntary_a service_n which_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o by_o law_n to_o this_o agree_v that_o forecited_a text_n num._n 30.1_o if_o a_o man_n vow_v a_o vow_n or_o swear_v a_o oath_n unto_o the_o lord_n he_o shall_v not_o break_v his_o word_n he_o shall_v do_v according_a to_o all_o that_o proceed_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n and_o to_o these_o kind_n of_o oath_n christ_n allude_v when_o he_o say_v mat._n 5.33_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o it_o have_v be_v say_v to_o they_o of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o for-swear_a thyself_o but_o shall_v perform_v to_o the_o lord_n thy_o oath_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o the_o end_n of_o voluntary_a oath_n be_v to_o bind_v the_o soul_n to_o the_o lord_n to_o perform_v to_o he_o some_o great_a piece_n of_o voluntary_a service_n and_o self-denial_n which_o they_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o by_o any_o law_n have_v they_o not_o bind_v themselves_o by_o a_o oath_n i_o now_o come_v to_o the_o last_o question_n viz._n whether_o those_o two_o text_n mat._n 5.34_o and_o james_n 5.12_o do_v forbid_v all_o manner_n of_o swear_v in_o gospel_n time_n i_o shall_v first_o speak_v to_o that_o in_o mat._n 5.34_o where_o christ_n say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o etc._n etc._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o negative_o that_o this_o text_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o forbid_v the_o use_n of_o all_o such_o swear_v as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n my_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o some_o such_o swear_v be_v use_v by_o christ_n himself_o mat._n 26.63_o christ_n be_v before_o the_o counsel_n be_v examine_v by_o the_o priest_n but_o the_o text_n say_v jesus_n hold_v his_o peace_n then_o the_o high_a priest_n adjure_v he_o by_o the_o live_a god_n or_o as_o it_o be_v in_o plain_a english_a he_o charge_v he_o to_o swear_v by_o the_o live_a god_n to_o tell_v he_o whether_o he_o be_v the_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o which_o adjuration_n jesus_n answer_v thou_o have_v say_v or_o i_o be_o for_o so_o it_o be_v mark_v 14.62_o now_o to_o answer_n to_o a_o matter_n when_o one_o be_v adjure_v by_o the_o live_a god_n though_o it_o be_v but_o yea_o or_o amen_o be_v one_o manner_n of_o swear_v that_o be_v frequent_o use_v under_o the_o law_n as_o i_o have_v already_o show_v from_o levit._n 5.1.1_o kin._n 22.16_o 17._o num._n 5.19_o judg._n 17.2_o neh._n 5.13_o second_o this_o text_n can_v be_v understand_v to_o take_v away_o the_o use_n of_o all_o such_o swear_v that_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n because_o those_o commandment_n contain_v in_o ordinance_n be_v

be_v none_o of_o the_o least_o can_v not_o be_v take_v away_o before_o christ_n die_v therefore_o all_o such_o oath_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n be_v not_o forbid_v by_o that_o text_n
