live_n and_o true_a god_n be_v call_v to_o witness_v numb_a 30._o 2._o to_o which_o samuel_n hodgkin_n faith_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o every_o sacred_a oath_n by_o which_o god_n be_v call_v to_o witness_v to_o the_o truth_n of_o a_o thing_n or_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o a_o lawful_a thing_n be_v a_o bond_n whereby_o the_o soul_n be_v bind_v but_o every_o calling_n god_n to_o witness_v in_o lawful_a thing_n be_v not_o a_o oath_n as_o appear_v thus_o if_o a_o bare_a calling_n god_n to_o witness_v be_v swear_v by_o god_n then_o call_v the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o witness_v be_v swear_v by_o heaven_n and_o earth_n for_o then_o moses_n have_v swear_v by_o creature_n deut._n 4._o 26._o i_o call_v heaven_n and_o earth_n to_o witness_v against_o you_o this_o day_n

stand_v good_a who_o do_v not_o say_v that_o a_o bare_a calling_n to_o witness_v be_v swear_v but_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v to_o the_o speak_n of_o that_o which_o be_v true_a and_o this_o to_o be_v a_o oath_n be_v grant_v by_o samuel_n hodgkin_n himself_o p._n 16._o when_o he_o say_v that_o call_v god_n to_o witness_n be_v not_o swear_v but_o when_o we_o read_v of_o the_o servant_n of_o the_o lord_n swear_v in_o scripture_n we_o find_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o a_o bare_a calling_n god_n to_o witness_v but_o they_o swear_v by_o god_n that_o they_o do_v speak_v the_o truth_n or_o that_o they_o will_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n now_o swear_v by_o god_n at_o least_o in_o assertory_n oath_n can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o calling_n god_n to_o witness_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o we_o speak_v and_o in_o promissory_a of_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o intention_n to_o perform_v what_o we_o say_v we_o will_v do_v that_o which_o samuel_n hodgkin_n say_v now_o to_o swear_v by_o the_o lord_n be_v to_o say_v that_o they_o do_v speak_v the_o truth_n or_o will_v do_v such_o a_o thing_n by_o the_o lord_n as_o much_o as_o if_o they_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n do_v help_v they_o in_o what_o they_o do_v or_o that_o they_o do_v it_o by_o his_o assistance_n and_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o it_o be_v unlawful_a for_o a_o man_n to_o swear_v by_o any_o creature_n because_o no_o creature_n can_v help_v he_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n or_o perform_v what_o he_o promise_v and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o god_n take_v it_o ill_o when_o they_o do_v not_o speak_v truth_n because_o they_o do_v as_o much_o as_o say_v that_o god_n do_v help_v they_o to_o speak_v a_o lie_n and_o so_o they_o blaspheme_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o the_o high_a nature_n and_o doubtless_o those_o that_o make_v the_o oath_n we_o have_v in_o our_o common_a law_n do_v understand_v no_o less_o and_o therefore_o they_o charge_v the_o witness_n by_o the_o help_n of_o god_n to_o speak_v the_o truth_n be_v a_o manifest_a mistake_n of_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o phrase_n to_o swear_v by_o the_o lord_n which_o it_o seem_v he_o understand_v to_o signify_v not_o only_o that_o he_o that_o swear_v call_v god_n to_o be_v a_o witness_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o what_o he_o say_v in_o assertory_n oath_n and_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o intention_n to_o perform_v what_o he_o say_v in_o promissory_a oath_n but_o also_o that_o he_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v that_o he_o speak_v truth_n by_o his_o help_n or_o god_n help_v he_o to_o speak_v truth_n in_o assertory_n oath_n and_o that_o his_o intention_n be_v to_o perform_v what_o he_o promise_v by_o god_n help_n or_o assistance_n so_o that_o according_a to_o this_o man_n conceit_n it_o be_v no_o swear_v unless_o the_o person_n swear_v do_v call_v god_n to_o be_v witness_n not_o only_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o word_n and_o intention_n but_o also_o of_o his_o acknowledge_v of_o god_n help_n in_o speak_v truth_n in_o assertory_n oath_n and_o his_o expectation_n of_o god_n help_v to_o perform_v what_o he_o say_v he_o will_v do_v in_o promissory_a which_o be_v a_o new_a and_o wild_a conceit_n new_a for_o none_o

truth_n or_o of_o expectation_n of_o help_n from_o god_n to_o do_v what_o we_o promise_v to_o be_v swear_v and_o it_o be_v a_o wild_a conceit_n for_o 1._o it_o be_v frivolous_a to_o call_v god_n to_o witness_v that_o he_o speak_v truth_n by_o his_o help_n or_o that_o he_o expect_v his_o help_n to_o do_v what_o he_o promise_v it_o be_v impertinent_a to_o the_o occasion_n and_o end_n of_o swear_v the_o occasion_n of_o swear_v be_v some_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o word_n and_o intention_n and_o the_o end_n to_o take_v away_o that_o there_o be_v no_o question_n or_o
