since_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o knowledge_n of_o his_o way_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o dwell_v in_o we_o persuade_v our_o heart_n to_o deny_v all_o swear_n both_o as_o it_o

which_o be_v as_o now_o practise_v idolatry_n and_o superstition_n and_o i_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n do_v confirm_v our_o heart_n in_o this_o truth_n even_o to_o deny_v all_o swear_n and_o

to_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o refuse_v to_o swear_v at_o this_o day_n likewise_o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o many_o holy_a martyr_n and_o prophet_n since_o the_o apostle_n day_n who_o deny_v to_o swear_v on_o any_o wise_a who_o suffer_v for_o such_o their_o testimony_n all_o which_o evidence_n may_v just_o confirm_v the_o heart_n of_o god_n people_n at_o this_o day_n faithful_o to_o

friend_n be_v faithful_a to_o god_n in_o these_o and_o all_o other_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v give_v you_o light_n and_o knowledge_n in_o and_o i_o do_v warn_v all_o to_o keep_v a_o clear_a
