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.

consent_v herein_o bind_v they_o as_o if_o they_o have_v swear_v the_o like_a we_o have_v neh._n 5.13_o when_o nehemiah_n take_v a_o oath_n of_o the_o people_n which_o be_v a_o oath_n of_o curse_v say_v when_o he_o shake_v his_o lap_n so_o god_n shake_v every_o man_n out_o of_o his_o house_n and_o labour_n that_o perform_v not_o this_o promise_n &_o all_o the_o people_n say_v amen_o &_o in_o

which_o a_o man_n bind_v himself_o by_o a_o oath_n of_o curse_v be_v when_o he_o utter_v the_o curse_n with_o his_o own_o mouth_n a_o example_n we_o have_v of_o this_o in_o david_n the_o text_n tell_v we_o 2_o sam._n 3.35_o that_o david_n swear_v say_v when_o he_o wish_v that_o god_n will_v do_v by_o he_o as_o by_o abner_n and_o much_o more_o if_o he_o eat_v bread_n till_o the_o sun_n be_v down_o little_o do_v people_n think_v that_o this_o manner_n of_o speak_v be_v a_o oath_n and_o such_o a_o oath_n that_o god_n expect_v the_o performance_n of_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o 2d_o question_n viz._n what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o sacred_a oath_n but_o before_o i_o answer_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o revive_v the_o forementioned_a distinction_n between_o oath_n that_o be_v command_v and_o oath_n that_o be_v voluntary_a and_o the_o rather_o because_o oath_n that_o be_v command_v be_v ordinary_o such_o as_o be_v make_v by_o god_n to_o man_n and_o oath_n that_o be_v voluntary_a be_v make_v to_o god_n this_o distinction_n appear_v plain_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o example_n of_o abraham_n swear_v his_o servant_n to_o he_o by_o the_o lord_n gen._n 23.4_o and_o david_n swear_v to_o saul_n by_o the_o lord_n 1_o sam._n 21.22_o and_o abraham_n swear_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o abimelech_n gen._n 21.23_o and_o the_o spy_n swear_v by_o the_o lord_n to_o rahab_n josh_n 2.12_o now_o the_o end_n of_o such_o oath_n as_o man_n swear_v by_o god_n to_o one_o another_o be_v as_o the_o author_n to_o the_o hebrew_n tell_v we_o heb._n 6.16_o to_o end_v all_o strife_n and_o to_o comfirm_v the_o truth_n of_o a_o matter_n in_o question_n a_o example_n we_o have_v of_o this_o exod._n 22.11_o if_o a_o man_n deliver_v to_o his_o neighbour_n a_o ox_n or_o a_o ass_n or_o a_o sheep_n or_o any_o beast_n to_o keep_v and_o it_o die_v or_o be_v hurt_v or_o steal_v away_o no_o man_n see_v it_o then_o shall_v a_o oath_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v between_o they_o both_o that_o he_o have_v not_o put_v forth_o his_o hand_n to_o his_o neighbour_n good_n and_o the_o owner_n of_o it_o shall_v accept_v thereof_o and_o he_o shall_v not_o make_v it_o good_a the_o like_a to_o this_o we_o have_v 1_o king_n 8.31_o 32._o again_o another_o end_n of_o one_o man_n swear_v to_o another_o be_v to_o make_v good_a all_o lawful_a promise_n which_o have_v proceed_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n example_n we_o have_v of_o this_o

and_o nehemiah_n swear_v the_o people_n to_o keep_v their_o promise_n neh._n 5.13_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o end_n of_o such_o oath_n as_o be_v command_v
