requiringe of an othe and lykewyse faithfull subiectes with a glade harte in renderinge their othe demanded of them If thou be capcio●s thou wilt parauēture fynde cauilla●ion of contrariete in the scripture And saye that Moyses here semeth to speake contrary vnto that Christ hath spoken in Matthew the .v. Chap. Because it is sayd here yf anye man geueth to kepe asse oxe or shepe c. than the othe of the Lorde shall go betwene them and there thou shalte in no case sweare this was firste the error of the Manacheis whose folowers ar now the Anabaptistes And all this commeth because they vnderstand not the sentence of Christ in the .v. of Matthew This worde iurare hath an other maner of signification than they do perceyue and is otherwyse taken in the said .v. of Mathew than they do teache for this is to be beleued of all men that God the father commanded nothynge that shulde be preiudiciall or contrarye his sonne nor yet that the sonne tawght any thing contrary his father therfore there is a swearinge whiche is lawfull approued and commanded of God of the whiche we haue made mencion before called in latyne ius●urandum Ther is also a swearinge which is not lawfull discommended and clearly forbyden of Christ whiche is called deiurium that is temerously to sweare in owre priuate communication be it trewe or false And whā Christ saith thou shalt not sweare at al he meaneth nothinge lesse than by it to destroy all maner of lawfull swearinge before a iudge but that we shuld neuer in our priuate communicacion sweare and as all maner of othes ware not disalowed of Christ no more ware all othes alowed of God the father but suche onely as had eyther the glory of God the profyt of owre neyboure or the commō wealth vppon their sydes And that this is the very meaninge of Christes wordes we shall well perceyue by the weynge of the texte yow haue hard sayth Christe how it was sayd to thē of the olde tymene deteres Where as owre translacion hath non periurabis thou shalte not for sweare And not al without cause for as periurare can neuer be taken in a good sence so is it not alwaye taken for the transgressinge or breakinge of a lawful othe made before a iudge But often tymes it is taken for deierare which is to take God ●d witnesse to lye or to deceyue And periurate is lykewyse to abuse the name of God whiche is the trewth and righteousnes to lye and deceyue And what so euer he be that eyther require his neyboure to sweare or sweare lightly him selfe it is a sufficient proue that he is a pariure yll lyght and one that lytle regardeth Goddes truth now whan Christ sayth it is sayd to them of the old tyme non periurabis thou shalt not forsweare yow shall neuer fynde in the Hebrew nor in the Greketerte that worde but so shal you fynde in Moyses Thou shake not take the name of thy Lorde God temerously where as owre interpreter hath so Thou shalt not take his name in vayne ●n another place also you haue after this sorte Thou shalt not sweare in my name to lye Whiche the Grekes interpretat after this faciō thou shalt not sweare fal●y in my name And the La●ynes hath non periurabis Thou shalt not forsweare in my name Here you may se how saynt Ierome vse this worde to forsweare for deterare which is to sweare false And not for the transgressinge of a right lawfull othe It was forbydden to them of the olde tyme as you haue partely harde that they shoulde in no case temerouslye take the name of God to recorde which is expounded in the sayd .xix. of Leuit. that they shulde not sweare in his name to lye Wherout sprange this opinion amonge them that yf they dyd take the name of God to wirnesse in the trewth and that in their dayly busynes betwen neighbour and neighbour was no maner of synne but in a false fayned matter they thought they ought in no case to sweare nor yet compel any other mā therunto ▪ And this is the thinge that Christ speaketh here against and vtterly reproueth that is to saye that neither in the trouth nor otherwyse they ought to take the name of God to recorde in their familiar and dayly communicacion but to speake so truly and to deale so faithfully one with another that yf he sayd yea then his neighbour shulde beleue him to saye truth yf he sayd naye lykewyse to beleue it not to be truth Here you se well is no maner of mention made of a right and lawfull othe for Christ saith audistis ye haue hard how it was sayd vnto them of the olde tyme non periurabis thou shalt not forswear Where is this spoken euen there wheras is nothinge spoken at all of the trāsgressinge or breakinge of a lawful othe made before a iudge as it shal appear● more playnlye to him that will serche the places Therfore it is manifest that Christ spake of suche othes wherby we bynd our selues temerously to do or perfourme any maner of thing It foloweth in the terte I saye vnto you sweare not at all marke now of what swearinge he speaketh euen of suche swearinge as was for their weaknes sake permitted vnto them of the olde tyme by the law for as the Iues were suffred by the law for their weakenes sake to be deuorced from their wyues gyuinge them a testimonial in their handes to auoyde a further inconuenience that was lest whan they were moued or angrye with them they shuld either haue poysonned or kylled them So was it lykewyse permitted to thē of the olde tyme to sweare but not by all maner of creatures but only in the name of god least they dwellinge amonge the heythen and accustominge their othes shulde by contynuan̄ce of tyme fall vnto the fylthye worshippinge of their Idoles forgettinge him sweare by his name saith Moyses and se that you walke not after stran̄ge goddes of the nacions that you remayne amonge S● that you neyther make mencion saith Iosue nor yet sweare by the names of their goddes Thus in the old tyme were they suffred to sweare in an ernest iuste or wayghtye cause but now commeth Christ and saith that neyther in a t●ewe matter be it neuer so great ernest and wayghtye we shal not of our owne selues nor by our owne aucthorite and priuate power sweare or promes any maner of thinge Where as yet no maner of mention is made of a demaunded othe by publyque aucthorite And the wordes that folowe make the matter more p●●yne neither by heauē saith Christ for it is the throne of God neyther by earth c. Where rede you that at any tyme the Hebrwes did vse to sweare by any of these thinges And contrarywyse who now adayes doth not for euery tryfle sweare by them all one
