which_o have_v be_v already_o premise_v in_o this_o matter_n and_o for_o the_o second_o i_o shall_v desire_v that_o abraham_n faith_n as_o it_o have_v justification_n attribute_v to_o it_o by_o saint_n paul_n may_v be_v view_v both_o in_o the_o 4_o to_o the_o rom._n and_o the_o 11_o to_o the_o heb._n in_o the_o former_a his_o faith_n be_v try_v by_o the_o promise_n of_o a_o numerous_a seed_n

not_o be_v justify_v in_o the_o 11_o to_o the_o heb._n many_o other_o act_n of_o his_o faith_n or_o faithful_a action_n be_v mention_v v._n 8._o by_o faith_n he_o obey_v to_o go_v out_o of_o his_o

paul_n as_o the_o former_a out_o of_o saint_n james_n it_o will_v be_v no_o error_n or_o pernicious_a from_o their_o very_a word_n to_o have_v affirm_v this_o doctrine_n and_o affix_v it_o on_o they_o i_o suppose_v also_o this_o may_v serve_v for_o the_o second_o proposition_n the_o three_o be_v set_v down_o p._n 18._o from_o pract._n catech._n p._n 120._o and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o thou_o

that_o it_o be_v a_o little_a strange_a that_o a_o bare_a explication_n of_o a_o phrase_n of_o scripture_n a_o part_n of_o the_o three_o commandment_n in_o exod._n though_o it_o be_v acknowledge_v

affix_v to_o this_o which_o be_v set_v down_o for_o one_o of_o they_o but_o than_o second_o for_o the_o truth_n most_o undoubted_a certain_a truth_n of_o this_o explication_n or_o interpretation_n thus_o censure_v i_o have_v former_o at_o large_a make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o word_n to_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n signify_v to_o swear_v and_o no_o more_o and_o the_o hebrew_n which_o we_o render_v in_o vain_a signify_v false_o and_o be_v so_o render_v in_o the_o nine_o commandment_n and_o agreeable_a to_o that_o psal._n 15._o to_o lift_v up_o the_o soul_n to_o vanity_n be_v to_o

consent_n of_o as_o learned_a as_o this_o age_n have_v or_o the_o ancient_a church_n have_v any_o i_o conceive_v that_o i_o have_v a_o most_o authentic_a warrant_n from_o christ_n himself_o who_o

in_o sinai_n and_o bring_v down_o by_o scripture_n to_o they_o his_o present_a auditor_n one_o commandment_n be_v thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v another_o thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n and_o so_o again_o in_o the_o very_a same_o form_n of_o word_n another_o thou_o shall_v not_o forswear_v thyself_o from_o which_o i_o do_v assure_v my_o self_n and_o so_o still_o do_v that_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o be_v as_o direct_o the_o interpretation_n in_o christ_n judgement_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o the_o three_o commandment_n as_o

be_v undoubted_o no_o more_o the_o one_o than_o the_o other_o and_o indeed_o this_o be_v the_o only_a occasion_n of_o deliver_v those_o word_n in_o the_o pract_n catech._n to_o show_v that_o christ_n do_v not_o misreport_v the_o word_n of_o the_o commandment_n nor_o yet_o refer_v to_o any_o other_o place_n but_o that_o commandment_n in_o those_o word_n of_o he_o and_o though_o i_o have_v many_o

to_o confirm_v by_o oath_n yet_o i_o be_o very_o willing_a to_o leave_v the_o matter_n here_o upon_o this_o account_n at_o this_o time_n give_v of_o it_o i_o e._n in_o my_o opinion_n on_o christ_n

unnecessary_a trouble_n upon_o the_o reader_n and_o for_o myself_o i_o have_v to_o they_o these_o two_o only_a request_n 1._o that_o they_o will_v examine_v themselves_o sincere_o and_o as_o in_o god_n sight_n what_o the_o motive_n or_o design_n be_v which_o persuade_v they_o to_o single_a out_o i_o alone_o who_o profess_v myself_o and_o be_o by_o all_o that_o know_v i_o acknowledge_v to_o hold_v nothing_o contrary_a to_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o will_v justify_v it_o to_o any_o man_n that_o know_v what_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v and_o join_v i_o with_o the_o broacher_n of_o all_o the_o blasphemy_n and_o heresy_n of_o this_o age_n and_o 2_o that_o they_o will_v lay_v to_o heart_n the_o consequence_n which_o may_v natural_o flow_v from_o hence_o if_o god_n do_v not_o uphold_v weak_a christian_n who_o see_v so_o many_o doctrine_n of_o very_o distant_a nature_n blend_v together_o with_o the_o same_o brand_n of_o heresy_n and_o blasphemy_n infamous_a and_o pernicious_a fasten_v on_o they_o and_o no_o kind_n of_o proof_n annex_v that_o any_o be_v such_o beside_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o censor_n may_v possible_o find_v some_o of_o they_o to_o be_v the_o infallible_a truth_n of_o god_n and_o be_v tempt_v if_o they_o have_v not_o strong_a antidote_n than_o this_o bare_a testimony_n will_v afford_v they_o to_o have_v the_o same_o thought_n of_o the_o other_o also_o or_o if_o not_o whether_o they_o will_v not_o be_v incline_v to_o have_v the_o same_o severity_n and_o condemnation_n for_o i_o or_o any_o other_o asserter_n of_o such_o
