not_o to_o take_v it_o he_o ought_v to_o know_v how_o far_o he_o be_v bind_v thereby_o whereof_o we_o have_v a_o commendable_a example_n in_o the_o spy_n by_o joshua_n send_v over_o jordan_n how_o

at_o the_o take_n of_o jericho_n joshua_n remember_v to_o have_v it_o keep_v then_o the_o mind_n and_o true_a mean_v of_o the_o swearer_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v what_o he_o aim_v at_o when_o he_o

this_o will_v put_v a_o stop_n to_o the_o course_n of_o justice_n but_o i_o mean_v that_o when_o one_o be_v gross_o ignorant_a or_o suspect_v of_o be_v incline_v to_o perjury_n something_o shall_v be_v enact_v to_o prevent_v it_o and_o the_o court_n be_v more_o cautious_a how_o such_o a_o one_o be_v admit_v to_o swear_v so_o hereupon_o those_o who_o make_v use_v of_o they_o ought_v in_o

swear_v he_o swear_v by_o himself_o l_o i_o have_v swear_v by_o myself_o the_o second_o reason_n because_o a_o oath_n be_v a_o religious_a invocation_n which_o be_v due_a to_o god_n alone_o three_o because_o god_n alone_o know_v the_o heart_n and_o he_o be_v able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n or_o falsehood_n of_o our_o thought_n so_o then_o when_o we_o call_v god_n to_o witness_n we_o render_v that_o high_a and_o special_a worship_n that_o be_v due_a only_a to_o he_o for_o thereby_o we_o bear_v witness_v that_o god_n be_v present_a every_o where_o see_v and_o avenge_n all_o
