some_o into_o public_a and_o private_a into_o simple_a and_o solemn_a into_o naked_a and_o execratory_n into_o absolute_a and_o conditional_a by_o other_o otherwise_o but_o the_o noble_a of_o all_o and_o that_o which_o as_o i_o remember_v be_v not_o by_o any_o of_o they_o who_o have_v write_v of_o oath_n omit_v be_v that_o whereby_o they_o be_v distinguish_v into_o assertory_n and_o promissory_a for_o whereas_o in_o every_o oath_n as_o have_v be_v say_v the_o name_n of_o god_n be_v take_v by_o the_o party_n swear_v by_o way_n of_o invocation_n unto_o the_o testimony_n of_o some_o doubtful_a matter_n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o this_o may_v be_v do_v three_o way_n for_o a_o past_a matter_n may_v be_v doubt_v whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o not_o so_o as_o do_v you_o see_v caius_n

oath_n be_v invoke_v witness_n to_o a_o thing_n past_a or_o present_a such_o a_o oath_n be_v usual_o call_v assertory_n because_o the_o party_n swear_v without_o any_o promise_n for_o the_o future_a only_a assert_n the_o thing_n to_o have_v be_v or_o to_o be_v as_o he_o than_o swear_v but_o if_o god_n by_o the_o interposition_n of_o a_o oath_n be_v invoke_v witness_n to_o a_o future_a thing_n that_o oath_n be_v call_v promissory_a because_o the_o party_n swear_v promise_v to_o perform_v something_o or_o not_o to_o perform_v it_o hereafter_o the_o chief_a use_n of_o the_o assertory_n be_v
