a_o vindication_n of_o the_o command_n and_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o of_o his_o people_n in_o their_o faithful_a obedience_n to_o he_o against_o all_o swearer_n and_o swear_v whatsoever_o according_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n with_o a_o few_o word_n unto_o all_o such_o rular_o teacher_n and_o people_n of_o what_o degree_n or_o sort_n soever_o that_o have_v a_o

be_v one_o visitation_n and_o warn_v more_o from_o the_o lord_n unto_o they_o before_o he_o sweep_v the_o land_n of_o evil_a doer_n with_o the_o beasome_a of_o their_o final_a destruction_n and_o

say_v the_o lord_n jer._n 23.10.11.12_o now_o see_v the_o great_a controversy_n at_o this_o day_n between_o the_o false_a christian_n and_o the_o true_a namely_o the_o persecute_v power_n of_o this_o generation_n and_o the_o royal_a seed_n and_o people_n of_o god_n call_v quaker_n be_v about_o swear_v and_o oath_n and_o the_o like_a matter_n appertain_v to_o religion_n and_o worship_n of_o god_n which_o be_v matter_n of_o conscience_n the_o answer_n of_o which_o before_o god_n in_o the_o day_n of_o death_n be_v a_o man_n eternal_a condemnation_n or_o justification_n and_o salvation_n it_o therefore_o lie_v upon_o i_o at_o this_o time_n to_o vindicate_v the_o only_a right_n and_o propriety_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o conscience_n of_o his_o people_n and_o also_o of_o his_o people_n in_o their_o faithfulness_n and_o obedience_n unto_o he_o who_o be_v the_o head_n of_o his_o church_n and_o who_o right_a alone_o it_o be_v to_o reign_v against_o that_o doctrine_n and_o soul_n destroy_v principle_n of_o impose_v oath_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n whatsoever_o which_o concern_v the_o exercise_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o conscience_n which_o be_v immortal_a towards_o god_n or_o any_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n etc._n etc._n 1._o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o second_o epistle_n of_o john_n at_o the_o nine_o ten_o and_o eleven_o verse_n on_o this_o wise_a viz._n whosoever_o transgress_v and_o abide_v not_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n have_v not_o god_n he_o that_o abide_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o if_o there_o come_v any_o unto_o you_o and_o bring_v not_o this_o doctrine_n receive_v he_o not_o into_o your_o house_n neither_o bid_v he_o god_n speed_n for_o he_o that_o bid_v he_o god_n speed_n be_v partaker_n of_o his_o evil_a deed_n 2._o now_o if_o any_o to_o who_o this_o may_v come_v shall_v be_v ignorant_a of_o what_o this_o mean_v or_o what_o this_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v or_o what_o the_o word_n doctrine_n do_v signify_v let_v they_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o follow_v as_o for_o the_o word_n doctrine_n it_o signify_v teach_v or_o that_o which_o be_v teach_v so_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v that_o which_o he_o teach_v or_o do_v teach_v and_o it_o may_v be_v true_o read_v thus_o whosoever_o abide_v not_o in_o the_o teach_n of_o christ_n or_o in_o what_o he_o teach_v or_o teach_v have_v not_o god_n etc._n etc._n now_o mark_n such_o a_o one_o that_o abide_v not_o in_o that_o which_o christ_n teach_v have_v not_o god_n but_o he_o that_o do_v abide_v in_o what_o christ_n have_v teach_v and_o teach_v have_v both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n 3._o now_o the_o controversy_n be_v very_o great_a at_o this_o day_n between_o two_o sort_n of_o people_n in_o this_o nation_n of_o england_n about_o religious_a matter_n for_o which_o the_o one_o do_v persecute_v abuse_n imprison_v rob_v spoil_n &_o great_o oppress_v &_o afflict_v the_o other_o namely_o for_o conscience_n sake_n for_o abide_v in_o the_o doctrine_n &_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o christ_n let_v we_o therefore_o mark_v and_o try_v the_o difference_n of_o these_o people_n according_a to_o the_o scripture_n of_o truth_n which_o those_o persecutor_n themselves_o profess_v be_v their_o rule_n so_o by_o their_o own_o rule_n let_v they_o be_v try_v 4._o now_o the_o people_n who_o be_v thus_o persecute_v and_o abuse_v etc._n etc._n be_v such_o as_o abide_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n in_o that_o which_o he_o teach_v and_o teach_v for_o which_o they_o be_v persecute_v and_o have_v both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n 2_o john_n 9_o and_o their_o persecutor_n and_o oppessor_n be_v such_o as_o break_v the_o command_n and_o abide_v not_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o have_v not_o god_n as_o will_v be_v prove_v and_o make_v manifest_a neither_o be_v they_o to_o be_v bid_v god_n speed_n for_o such_o as_o bid_v they_o god_n speed_n or_o side_n with_o they_o be_v partaker_n of_o their_o evil_a deed_n so_o they_o that_o have_v not_o god_n but_o be_v without_o god_n be_v the_o persecuter_n and_o afflicter_n of_o they_o that_o have_v both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n let_v all_o people_n take_v notice_n of_o this_o and_o now_o be_v the_o scripture_n fulfil_v these_o thing_n will_v they_o do_v unto_o you_o for_o my_o name_n sake_n because_o they_o know_v not_o he_o that_o send_v i_o john_n 15.21_o etc._n etc._n 5._o now_o what_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n be_v or_o what_o he_o have_v teach_v or_o do_v teach_v his_o friend_n and_o disciple_n to_o do_v and_o to_o leave_v undo_v may_v be_v mention_v in_o many_o particulars_n but_o at_o present_a i_o may_v omit_v but_o what_o be_v in_o my_o

doctrine_n which_o he_o teach_v they_o not_o to_o swear_v at_o all_o may_v be_v easy_o prove_v yea_o though_o they_o be_v such_o oath_n and_o swear_v as_o be_v lawful_a and_o command_v in_o old_a

by_o they_o in_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o forswear_v thyself_o but_o shall_v perform_v unto_o the_o lord_n thy_o oath_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o swear_v not_o at_o all_o neither_o by_o
