by_o his_o commandment_n to_o give_v unto_o he_o for_o he_o will_v that_o we_o shall_v swear_v only_o by_o his_o name_n not_o that_o he_o have_v pleasure_n in_o oath_n but_o like_a as_o he_o command_v

vain_a swear_v be_v forbid_v good_a and_o necessary_a commodity_n wherefore_o when_o christ_n so_o earnest_o forbid_v swear_v it_o may_v not_o be_v understand_v as_o though_o he_o do_v forbid_v all_o
