not_o single_a in_o this_o point_n for_o the_o church_n in_o helvetia_n basil_n and_o france_n believe_v and_o hold_v the_o same_o as_o their_o public_a confession_n bear_v witness_v yea_o all_o the_o

tit._n then_o i_o perceive_v you_o be_v sound_a as_o to_o this_o article_n read_v the_o last_o article_n 39_o tim._n as_o we_o confess_v vain_a and_o rash_a swear_v be_v forbid_v christian_a man_n by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o james_n his_o apostle_n so_o we_o judge_v that_o christian_a religion_n do_v not_o prohibit_v but_o that_o a_o man_n may_v swear_v when_o the_o magistrate_n

article_n be_v this_o that_o vain_a and_o rash_a oath_n be_v unchristian_a and_o forbid_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o that_o a_o lawful_a oath_n by_o the_o same_o word_n may_v be_v give_v and_o take_v in_o justice_n judgement_n and_o truth_n or_o when_o we_o be_v lawful_o call_v to_o it_o by_o a_o lawful_a magistrate_n now_o touch_v the_o former_a some_o be_v too_o forward_o and_o as_o to_o the_o latter_a some_o too_o backward_o and_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v here_o have_v speak_v somewhat_o to_o you_o of_o this_o nature_n already_o be_v this_o i_o hearty_o wish_v that_o as_o some_o dissenter_n from_o our_o church_n may_v just_o be_v charge_v for_o swear_v too_o little_a so_o that_o they_o can_v not_o as_o just_o charge_v many_o of_o our_o church_n with_o swear_v too_o much_o tim._n i_o wish_v so_o too_o the_o lord_n grant_v it_o tit._n sure_o i_o be_o that_o because_o of_o oath_n such_o as_o this_o article_n forbid_v etc._n etc._n our_o land_n mourn_v i_o pray_v god_n
