among_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a man_n make_v perfect_a if_o thou_o resolve_v to_o seek_v after_o it_o which_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n thou_o may_v assure_o attain_v to_o second_o part_n show_v what_o be_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o saint_n that_o exceed_v that_o of_o the_o pharisee_n 1_o the_o pharisee_n as_o righteous_a as_o they_o be_v do_v not_o acknowledge_v jesus_n christ_n nor_o entertain_v he_o as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n now_o if_o thou_o will_v acknowledge_v he_o as_o all_o this_o and_o answerable_o resolve_v to_o believe_v in_o he_o rely_v upon_o he_o for_o pardon_n and_o strength_n against_o sin_n if_o thou_o will_v love_v he_o above_o thy_o father_n mother_n son_n daughter_n house_n land_n live_v above_o thy_o sin_n and_o lust_n and_o will_v ready_o part_v with_o they_o all_o at_o his_o command_n thou_o have_v do_v something_o the_o pharisee_n never_o do_v thy_o righteousness_n shall_v be_v more_o than_o they_o and_o thou_o shall_v enter_v into_o heaven_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v shut_v down_o into_o hell_n 2_o the_o pharisee_n believe_v it_o a_o sin_n to_o commit_v murder_n but_o they_o do_v not_o count_v it_o murder_n to_o be_v angry_a with_o their_o brethren_n or_o neighbour_n without_o a_o cause_n and_o to_o call_v they_o fool_n or_o racha_n now_o reader_n if_o thou_o will_v strive_v and_o struggle_v all_o revenge_n and_o unlawful_a passion_n out_o of_o thy_o heart_n thou_o be_v more_o righteous_a than_o ever_o the_o pharisee_n be_v reader_n see_v thou_o to_o it_o it_o must_v be_v do_v without_o thou_o will_v be_v content_a to_o be_v no_o more_o righteous_a than_o the_o pharisee_n be_v do_v not_o dispute_v it_o christ_n will_v have_v it_o so_o matth._n 5.22_o i_o say_v unto_o

give_v way_n hereafter_o to_o thy_o proud_a peevish_a revengeful_a passionate_a nature_n 3_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o pharisee_n condemn_v the_o act_n of_o adultery_n to_o be_v a_o sin_n but_o they_o do_v not_o think_v that_o a_o lascivious_a look_n and_o a_o lustful_a desire_n of_o the_o heart_n after_o a_o woman_n be_v a_o sin_n now_o reader_n if_o thou_o will_v resolve_v to_o conquer_v the_o desire_n of_o thy_o lustful_a eye_n and_o heart_n thou_o have_v attain_v a_o righteousness_n the_o pharisee_n never_o have_v stick_v not_o at_o it_o sinner_n this_o command_n as_o the_o whole_a yoke_n of_o christ_n be_v easy_a and_o may_v be_v bear_v christ_n will_v have_v it_o and_o thou_o must_v do_v it_o if_o thou_o resolve_v to_o exceed_v the_o pharisee_n mat._n 5.28_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o say_v christ_n whosoever_o look_v on_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o have_v commit_v adultery_n already_o with_o she_o in_o his_o heart_n now_o think_v if_o thou_o will_v still_o give_v way_n to_o thy_o lustful_a eye_n and_o heart_n know_v this_o that_o the_o adulterer_n god_n will_v judge_v and_o thou_o may_v be_v such_o though_o thounever_o do_v commit_v the_o act_n 4_o the_o pharisee_n think_v it_o only_o a_o sin_n to_o forswear_v themselves_o but_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n be_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o mat._n 5.34_o except_o it_o be_v in_o case_n that_o be_v true_a

before_o a_o magistrate_n and_o then_o a_o oath_n be_v lawful_a this_o i_o must_v prove_v because_o it_o be_v so_o stiff_o deny_v by_o some_o in_o this_o age_n inconsiderate_o enough_o the_o only_a

off_o from_o the_o scope_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o whole_a discourse_n seem_v to_o intimate_v so_o much_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o the_o corrupt_a profane_a use_n of_o oath_n that_o he_o

but_o that_o swear_v be_v forbid_v 2_o i_o farther_o grant_v that_o all_o manner_n of_o swear_v by_o any_o creature_n be_v express_o forbid_v as_o by_o heaven_n earth_n jerusalem_n by_o thy_o head_n and_o that_o in_o no_o case_n what_o ever_o be_v it_o lawful_a to_o use_v they_o and_o the_o lord_n christ_n give_v you_o the_o reason_n why_o but_o 3_o i_o deny_v that_o from_o this_o text_n may_v be_v prove_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a to_o swear_v by_o god_n himself_o before_o a_o magistrate_n or_o in_o the_o case_n above_o express_v my_o reason_n be_v these_o 1_o because_o the_o lord_n christ_n do_v not_o mention_v that_o oath_n which_o be_v only_o lawful_a among_o the_o jew_n but_o take_v up_o in_o chide_v they_o for_o perjury_n in_o general_n and_o for_o oath_n by_o creature_n

that_o christ_n abolish_v the_o ceremonial_a law_n that_o under_o the_o moysaicall_a dispensation_n be_v in_o force_n at_o the_o appointment_n of_o his_o father_n and_o why_o may_v he_o not_o then_o abolish_v this_o i_o answer_v but_o than_o it_o must_v be_v well_o prove_v that_o a_o oath_n be_v a_o ceremony_n and_o then_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o what_o it_o be_v a_o type_n of_o but_o second_o i_o

have_v be_v suspend_v or_o not_o with_o so_o clear_a justice_n execute_v without_o a_o oath_n to_o render_v the_o testimony_n evident_a 3_o because_o he_o express_o say_v of_o himself_o i_o come_v not_o too_o do_v roy_n the_o law_n but_o to_o fulfil_v it_o and_o can_v you_o persuade_v yourself_o that_o he_o can_v say_v he_o will_v not_o and_o yet_o o_o it_o be_v not_o there_o once_o a_o law_n for_o swear_v have_v i_o not_o prove_v it_o but_o can_v christ_n be_v say_v to_o fulfil_v that_o law_n by_o a_o utter_a abolish_n of_o it_o he_o be_v the_o substance_n come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o all_o the_o ceremony_n which_o be_v shadow_n but_o prove_v that_o a_o oath_n be_v a_o shadow_n and_o i_o have_v do_v 4_o i_o argue_v à_fw-fr genere_fw-la from_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o oath_n itself_o which_o if_o well_o understand_v it_o be_v very_o unlikely_a that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v take_v away_o the_o use_n of_o it_o a_o oath_n be_v a_o appeal_n to_o god_n wherein_o he_o be_v beseech_v as_o the_o only_a searcher_n of_o heart_n that_o he_o will_v bear_v testimony_n to_o the_o truth_n and_o will_v punish_v the_o swearer_n if_o he_o know_v he_o to_o bear_v a_o false_a testimony_n but_o that_o all_o such_o appeal_n to_o god_n shall_v be_v prohibit_v and_o condemn_v by_o christ_n can_v hardly_o be_v affirm_v without_o blasphemy_n 5_o let_v i_o reason_n from_o the_o end_n and_o use_v of_o a_o oath_n which_o will_v farther_o discover_v it_o be_v never_o the_o intent_n of_o christ_n utter_o to_o abolish_v all_o oath_n 1_o a_o oath_n than_o be_v that_o whereby_o
