of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o be_v therefore_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n and_o profitable_a unto_o men._n and_o so_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o argument_n which_o be_v this_o arg._n 3._o if_o christ_n forbid_v swear_v then_o it_o be_v either_o because_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n or_o repugnant_a to_o our_o duty_n to_o our_o neighbour_n but_o some_o swear_v be_v

advantage_n may_v accrue_v in_o several_a respect_n and_o therefore_o christ_n forbid_v not_o all_o swear_v answ._n this_o argument_n be_v frame_v much_o like_o the_o question_n put_v to_o christ_n

be_v repugnant_a to_o our_o duty_n to_o god_n nor_o to_o our_o neighbour_n but_o that_o the_o work_n power_n and_o will_v of_o god_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a in_o and_o by_o christ_n and_o to_o
