King Zedekiah to Jeremy Jer. 38. ●6 The reason and end of all is to assure men the more of faith and truth in words and promises for in an oath men call God to be both a witnesse of the truth and an avenger of the lie and breach of promise And so an oath bindes the soule with a bond Numb ●0 2.

This was Rebekahs grief at Esau and feare lest Jacob should do the like ch 27. 46. 28. 1 2. Lest by marrying with idolaters his sonne or seed should be drawn from God Deut. 7. 3 4. And specially he would not have his seed and blood mixed with that cursed Nation whose blood his posterity was to shed without pity and to succeed in their place according to Gods Promise Therefore Moses forbids any Covenant wi●h them neither would Abraham bu●y with them ch 23. 6 20.
