A79863	Here is the swearers and they who swear falsly, and likewise they who compel men to swear, all tried by the law of the spirit of life which is in Chirst Jesus. Which law is holy, just, pure, and good; and all of them found guilty of sin and transgression against the true and living God; and also sentence pronounced against them all, that so transgress the Law of God, who with the wicked, and all they who forget God, must be turned into Hell, except they repent speedily; for with God there is no respect of persons in Judgement.

the_o antiquity_n of_o your_o law_n for_o swear_v excuse_n nor_o justify_v you_o any_o more_o than_o the_o temple_n at_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v stand_v many_o generation_n before_o jeremiahs_n day_n can_v justify_v the_o jew_n in_o their_o murder_n adultery_n and_o false_a swear_n etc._n etc._n neither_o will_v it_o free_v you_o from_o the_o guiltiness_n of_o sin_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n any_o more_o than_o abraham_n can_v free_v the_o jew_n from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n for_o although_o they_o plead_v say_v they_o have_v abraham_n for_o their_o father_n yet_o christ_n tell_v

it_o be_v a_o maxim_n in_o your_o own_o law_n that_o what_o soever_o in_o its_o original_a be_v altogether_o illegal_a and_o unjust_a can_v never_o by_o tract_n or_o length_n of_o time_n or_o by_o
