he_o q._n we_o learn_v then_o that_o this_o commandment_n may_v be_v break_v by_o swear_v either_o false_o or_o vain_o by_o talk_v of_o god_n work_n unreverent_o by_o vow_v or_o promise_v to_o god_n not_o care_v to_o perform_v the_o same_o by_o inconsiderate_a wish_n and_o wander_a prayer_n and_o last_o by_o make_v profession_n of_o serve_v god_n when_o we_o serve_v our_o own_o lust_n sin_n or_o satan_n a._n it_o be_v true_a but_o one_o thing_n i_o have_v almost_o forget_v for_o we_o dishonour_v god_n name_n not_o only_o in_o our_o wander_a prayer_n as_o be_v before_o say_v but_o also_o in_o pray_v to_o he_o for_o thing_n unseemly_o or_o that_o against_o our_o enemy_n he_o will_v be_v a_o executioner_n of_o our_o wrath_n in_o all_o these_o or_o such_o like_a request_n we_o dishonour_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n and_o also_o in_o oath_n beside_o false_a and_o vain_a swear_n already_o prove_v to_o be_v against_o this_o commandment_n it_o be_v a_o great_a dishonour_n to_o god_n name_v to_o match_v he_o with_o any_o other_o in_o swear_v or_o any_o other_o service_n of_o god_n as_o god_n people_n do_v for_o which_o god_n by_o his_o prophet_n threaten_v to_o destroy_v the_o land_n and_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o people_n and_o the_o beast_n the_o bird_n and_o the_o fish_n also_o and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o great_a cause_n of_o that_o general_a destruction_n because_o they_o do_v worship_n and_o swear_v by_o god_n 1.5_o zeph._n 1.5_o and_o by_o malcham_n for_o our_o great_a and_o mighty_a god_n who_o govern_v all_o thing_n as_o he_o will_v scorn_v so_o unequal_o to_o be_v match_v with_o idol_n or_o any_o creature_n q._n now_o beside_o all_o these_o transgression_n of_o this_o commandment_n we_o read_v that_o god_n very_o often_o find_v fault_n with_o false_a prophet_n that_o come_v in_o his_o name_n when_o he_o send_v they_o not_o speak_v in_o his_o name_n when_o he_o bid_v they_o not_o and_o make_v the_o people_n believe_v they_o be_v his_o true_a messenger_n &_o yet_o be_v nothing_o less_o do_v not_o such_o take_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o vain_a a._n certain_o they_o do_v so_o that_o as_o by_o that_o which_o have_v former_o be_v say_v we_o have_v learn_v how_o every_o man_n may_v transgress_v this_o law_n so_o here_o we_o be_v teach_v how_o these_o in_o their_o particular_a function_n do_v grievous_o and_o very_o dangerous_o for_o other_o break_v this_o commandment_n and_o herein_o do_v all_o popish_a and_o other_o false_a teacher_n wicked_o offend_v in_o that_o they_o vaunt_v themselves_o as_o messenger_n from_o god_n to_o teach_v his_o truth_n when_o they_o speak_v of_o nothing_o but_o their_o own_o fancy_n and_o man_n tradition_n unless_o as_o graceless_a murderer_n will_v cast_v sugar_n upon_o poison_n to_o deceive_v he_o that_o eat_v it_o so_o they_o now_o and_o then_o allege_v somewhat_o out_o of_o scripture_n to_o make_v their_o hearer_n believe_v that_o all_o that_o they_o deliver_v be_v like_o that_o when_o their_o doctrine_n and_o god_n word_n in_o his_o book_n deliver_v be_v no_o more_o like_a than_o night_n to_o day_n darkness_n to_o light_n or_o antichrist_n to_o christ_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o this_o three_o commandment_n i_o mean_v for_o the_o thing_n prohibit_v therein_o q._n but_o what_o be_v require_v in_o this_o commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v a._n he_o who_o will_v not_o that_o we_o dishonour_v his_o name_n will_v have_v we_o occupy_v in_o sanctify_v the_o same_o for_o as_o christ_n say_v 12.30_o mat_n 12.30_o he_o that_o be_v not_o with_o i_o be_v against_o i_o and_o he_o who_o gather_v not_o scatter_v so_o he_o who_o honour_v not_o god_n dishonour_v he_o whensoever_o occasion_n be_v give_v to_o honour_v he_o in_o that_o he_o omit_v that_o duty_n and_o therefore_o moses_n though_o he_o do_v not_o any_o thing_n whereby_o god_n may_v be_v dishonour_v yet_o be_v charge_v not_o to_o have_v honour_v god_n because_o when_o opportunity_n serve_v with_o assure_a faith_n in_o god_n power_n and_o mercy_n he_o command_v not_o the_o rock_n to_o send_v forth_o water_n 17.6_o exod._n 17.6_o as_o sometime_o before_o he_o have_v

into_o the_o land_n which_o i_o have_v give_v they_o and_o god_n account_v this_o such_o a_o dishonour_n to_o he_o 3.25_o deut._n 3.25_o that_o though_o moses_n pray_v god_n that_o he_o may_v go_v in_o and_o see_v that_o good_a land_n beyond_o jordan_n yet_o god_n will_v not_o hear_v his_o prayer_n for_o that_o thing_n verse_n 26._o q._n it_o appear_v then_o that_o this_o prohibit_v or_o forbid_v to_o dishonour_n god_n name_n do_v necessary_o contain_v in_o it_o a_o commandment_n to_o honour_v the_o same_o and_o that_o worthy_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o his_o name_n be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v teach_v we_o to_o beg_v of_o god_n in_o that_o form_n of_o prayer_n which_o he_o have_v teach_v we_o which_o we_o call_v the_o lord_n prayer_n therefore_o as_o you_o have_v teach_v we_o how_o his_o name_n may_v be_v in_o diverse_a sort_n or_o many_o way_n dishonour_v so_o let_v we_o hear_v how_o we_o may_v apply_v ourselves_o to_o honour_v the_o same_o a._n first_o if_o we_o do_v the_o contrary_a to_o those_o thing_n whereby_o god_n name_n be_v dishonour_v as_o if_o take_v his_o name_n in_o swear_v we_o swear_v always_o true_o and_o in_o judgement_n or_o for_o decide_v of_o controversy_n of_o weight_n or_o importance_n if_o we_o think_v or_o speak_v of_o his_o work_n reverent_o if_o we_o perform_v the_o holy_a mean_n which_o we_o have_v promise_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o use_v to_o further_a we_o in_o his_o service_n if_o in_o our_o short_a and_o ordinary_a wish_n or_o solemn_a prayer_n we_o with_o fear_n and_o reverence_n sue_v to_o god_n serious_o last_o if_o our_o outward_a profession_n of_o religion_n be_v join_v with_o care_n and_o endeavour_n to_o serve_v god_n true_o and_o walk_v worthy_a of_o our_o call_n by_o these_o mean_v we_o shall_v right_o perform_v this_o holy_a service_n q._n be_v there_o not_o some_o particular_a or_o special_a observation_n which_o if_o we_o follow_v we_o may_v more_o religious_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o all_o these_o duty_n before_o mention_v a._n yes_o very_o and_o brief_o they_o be_v these_o a_o diligent_a hear_n or_o read_v of_o god_n word_n for_o without_o it_o we_o be_v like_o man_n that_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o work_v and_o will_v be_v do_v somewhat_o but_o in_o the_o dark_a night_n when_o through_o want_n of_o light_n they_o know_v not_o whether_o it_o be_v right_a or_o wrong_n good_a or_o evil_a that_o be_v in_o therefore_o that_o in_o all_o our_o do_n and_o suffering_n god_n may_v be_v glorify_v 15.5_o rom._n 15.5_o we_o must_v pray_v to_o the_o god_n of_o patience_n as_o s._n paul_n call_v he_o that_o he_o will_v give_v unto_o we_o 1.29_o phil._n 1.29_o not_o to_o believe_v only_o but_o to_o suffer_v also_o for_o christ_n sake_n 6.20_o 1._o cor._n 6.20_o so_o shall_v we_o glorify_v god_n in_o our_o body_n and_o in_o our_o spirit_n as_o st._n paul_n will_v q._n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o word_n follow_v for_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a that_o take_v his_o name_n in_o vain_a a._n god_n thereby_o move_v this_o people_n to_o take_v heed_n that_o they_o offend_v not_o against_o this_o law_n for_o many_o go_v forward_o in_o their_o sin_n rash_o think_v that_o as_o man_n do_v not_o so_o god_n can_v espy_v or_o at_o the_o least_o do_v not_o see_v their_o wickedness_n or_o if_o he_o see_v yet_o he_o regard_v it_o not_o or_o that_o he_o will_v not_o punish_v or_o that_o he_o be_v not_o of_o power_n sufficient_a for_o what_o be_v so_o absurd_a that_o ungodly_a man_n will_v not_o surmise_v to_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o their_o own_o way_n therefore_o god_n here_o give_v his_o people_n to_o understand_v that_o if_o they_o profane_v his_o name_n they_o provoke_v against_o they_o the_o lord_n himself_o who_o

reason_n for_o first_o there_o be_v many_o good_a use_n of_o a_o oath_n as_o the_o end_n of_o strife_n and_o controversy_n 11._o exod._n 22.8_o 11._o that_o may_v arise_v among_o neighbour_n as_o in_o such_o case_n as_o be_v set_v down_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n say_v 6.16_o eb._n 6.16_o that_o a_o oath_n for_o confirmation_n be_v among_o man_n a_o end_n of_o all_o strife_n second_o it_o have_v be_v use_v for_o assure_v of_o bargain_n and_o covenant_n as_o between_o abraham_n and_o abimelech_n 21.31_o gen._n 21.31_o and_o when_o jacob_n buy_v esau_n birthright_n he_o make_v esau_n to_o assure_v the_o sale_n thereof_o unto_o he_o by_o a_o oath_n three_o 25.33_o gen_n 25.33_o a_o oath_n have_v be_v use_v to_o bind_v more_o strong_o the_o servant_n to_o faithful_a service_n 24.9_o gen._n 24.9_o as_o abraham_n swear_v his_o servant_n when_o he_o send_v he_o to_o get_v a_o wife_n for_o his_o son_n isaak_n and_o the_o subject_n to_o loyalty_n &_o allegiance_n so_o do_v nebuchad-nezar_a take_v a_o oath_n of_o allegiance_n of_o jehoiakin_n king_n of_o juda_n and_o god_n call_v that_o oath_n his_o oath_n 13._o 2._o chro._n 36_o 13._o and_o threaten_v grievous_o the_o king_n and_o people_n for_o breach_n of_o that_o oath_n 17.18.19_o ezech._n 17.18.19_o but_o beside_o these_o good_a use_n of_o a_o oath_n we_o see_v it_o be_v often_o command_v in_o the_o scripture_n which_o shall_v rather_o be_v forbid_v if_o it_o be_v unlawful_a thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n 6.13_o deut._n 6.13_o and_o serve_v he_o &_o swear_v by_o his_o name_n again_o 10.20_o deu._n 10.20_o thou_o shall_v fear_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n and_o serve_v he_o and_o shall_v cleave_v unto_o he_o and_o shall_v swear_v by_o his_o name_n yea_o the_o prophet_n do_v testify_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v praise_v that_o swear_v by_o his_o name_n 63.11_o ps_n 63.11_o if_o unto_o these_o i_o will_v add_v example_n of_o godly_a man_n who_o upon_o good_a occasion_n do_v swear_v beside_o abraham_n and_o jaacob_n already_o speak_v of_o 47.31_o gen_n 47.31_o i_o may_v allege_v joseph_n moses_n 14.9_o josh_n 14.9_o and_o many_o more_o who_o if_o a_o oath_n have_v be_v unlawful_a will_v not_o have_v swear_v q._n but_o they_o make_v show_v of_o reason_n for_o this_o their_o error_n allege_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n 5.34_o mat._n 5.34_o swear_v not_o all_o after_o who_o also_o saint_n james_n the_o apostle_n teach_v the_o same_o lesson_n a._n these_o word_n be_v true_o understand_v make_v nothing_o to_o maintain_v their_o error_n christ_n reprove_v in_o the_o word_n allege_v two_o corruption_n of_o those_o time_n concern_v oath_n the_o first_o that_o if_o they_o swear_v by_o the_o creature_n though_o in_o they_o god_n majesty_n do_v shine_v they_o do_v imagine_v they_o take_v not_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o vain_a but_o christ_n tell_v they_o that_o his_o honour_n be_v so_o tie_v unto_o his_o creature_n that_o without_o diminish_v his_o glory_n they_o can_v swear_v by_o they_o the_o second_o corruption_n be_v that_o they_o have_v these_o oath_n in_o their_o common_a talk_n and_o as_o it_o seem_v be_v of_o that_o mind_n that_o many_o now_o be_v that_o so_o they_o swear_v true_o they_o sin_v not_o christ_n therefore_o teach_v they_o that_o in_o their_o communication_n or_o ordinary_a talk_n they_o shall_v use_v no_o swear_v but_o they_o shall_v simple_o affirm_v a_o truth_n or_o deny_v a_o untruth_n which_o he_o mean_v by_o these_o word_n that_o their_o communication_n shall_v be_v yea_o yea_o nay_o nay_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v more_o come_v of_o evil_a 5.37_o mat._n 5.37_o and_o s._n james_n thus_o expound_v these_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o their_o yea_o shall_v be_v yea_o and_o their_o nay_o nay_o that_o be_v whether_o they_o affirm_v or_o deny_v it_o shall_v be_v true_a that_o they_o say_v but_o against_o other_o oath_n than_o such_o as_o be_v use_v in_o ordinary_a or_o common_a talk_n and_o in_o deed_n be_v too_o common_o use_v among_o we_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o these_o word_n q._n i_o see_v than_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o swear_v but_o teach_v i_o how_o in_o oath_n the_o name_n of_o god_n may_v be_v take_v in_o vain_a a._n first_o by_o false_a swear_n for_o the_o end_n of_o a_o oath_n shall_v be_v to_o lay_v open_a the_o truth_n and_o to_o make_v it_o know_v that_o may_v
