common_a speech_n to_o be_v repugnant_a unto_o a_o former_a oath_n lawful_o take_v three_o who_o compel_v another_o to_o swear_v unto_o a_o unlawful_a thing_n to_o wit_n against_o his_o duty_n to_o

first_o proof_n because_o that_o which_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n the_o second_o because_o we_o ought_v to_o swear_v in_o judgement_n which_o certain_o he_o do_v not_o who_o go_v against_o the_o judgement_n of_o his_o conscience_n the_o three_o because_o such_o a_o action_n must_v needs_o be_v occasion_v by_o regard_n have_v unto_o some_o temporal_a advantage_n or_o fear_v of_o some_o

themselves_o have_v number_v perjury_n among_o the_o most_o heinous_a crime_n which_o kindle_v the_o anger_n of_o the_o immortal_a god_n not_o against_o the_o guilty_a only_o and_o their_o posterity_n but_o even_o to_o the_o destruction_n of_o whole_a nation_n how_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o acknowledge_v the_o only_a true_a god_n who_o have_v solemn_o profess_v that_o he_o will_v not_o hold_v

there_o through_o the_o foul_a hypocrisy_n of_o perjury_n hide_v under_o the_o specious_a pretence_n of_o religion_n can_v choose_v but_o think_v upon_o those_o word_n of_o the_o prophet_n jeremiah_n
