retract_v when_o he_o declare_v that_o all_o murder_n be_v mutiny_n and_o sedition_n and_o all_o mutiny_n murder_n so_o then_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o lay_v aside_o our_o own_o fantasy_n when_o we_o will_v be_v judge_n of_o our_o own_o fault_n &_o let_v we_o quiet_o and_o peaceable_o receive_v the_o sentence_n which_o god_n have_v give_v and_o know_v we_o that_o all_o those_o which_o violent_o attempt_v any_o thing_n against_o their_o neighbour_n be_v already_o guilty_a of_o murder_n before_o god_n loe_o what_o we_o have_v brief_o to_o bear_v in_o mind_n but_o now_o to_o make_v a_o trial_n whether_o we_o abstain_v from_o all_o harm_n do_v from_o commit_v any_o outrage_n against_o the_o person_n of_o our_o neighbour_n we_o must_v come_v to_o the_o examine_n of_o our_o heart_n and_o secret_a thought_n for_o god_n have_v not_o give_v some_o civil_a law_n only_o to_o cause_v we_o to_o live_v honest_o 2d_o but_o he_o have_v give_v a_o law_n convenient_a &_o agreeable_a to_o his_o own_o nature_n we_o know_v that_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n &_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n see_v it_o be_v so_o it_o behove_v we_o to_o know_v that_o he_o have_v prescribe_v a_o rule_n not_o only_o for_o our_o hand_n &_o foot_n but_o for_o our_o thought_n also_o &_o affection_n it_o be_v true_a that_o man_n as_o they_o be_v carnal_a when_o first_o the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v pronounce_v to_o they_o they_o think_v they_o have_v well_o acquit_v themselves_o when_o they_o be_v faultless_a before_o the_o world_n on_o the_o other_o side_n they_o be_v very_o ready_a by_o enlarge_a their_o conscience_n to_o dispense_v with_o themselves_o &_o to_o take_v all_o liberty_n of_o do_v evil_a and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o even_o the_o jew_n which_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v nourish_v from_o their_o infancy_n in_o the_o law_n of_o god_o 2d_o they_o take_v this_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v over_o gross_o understand_v that_o they_o offend_v not_o god_o in_o this_o point_n if_o so_o be_v they_o have_v not_o open_o set_v on_o their_o neighbour_n to_o wound_v and_o to_o hurt_v he_o therefore_o except_o the_o fault_n be_v evident_a and_o apparent_a to_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v unto_o they_o before_o the_o face_n of_o god_n but_o our_o lord_n jesus_n reprove_v they_o of_o this_o show_v they_o that_o the_o law_n be_v spiritual_a and_o expound_v of_o they_o very_o sottish_o when_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v you_o think_v say_v he_o that_o you_o shall_v be_v absolve_v as_o guiltless_a before_o god_o when_o man_n can_v not_o bring_v you_o to_o the_o bar_n for_o it_o but_o i_o tell_v you_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v call_v his_o neighbour_n fool_n that_o be_v to_o say_v do_v but_o declare_v any_o token_n of_o indignation_n against_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v punish_v with_o hell_n fire_n whosoever_o iniuri_v a_o other_o be_v culpable_a of_o a_o council_n and_o constitution_n from_o heaven_n so_o that_o god_o and_o all_o his_o angel_n shall_v arm_v themselves_o against_o he_o whosoever_o murmur_v against_o his_o neighbour_n who_o so_o mutter_v and_o grummele_v i_o know_v not_o what_o between_o his_o tooth_n although_o he_o do_v not_o open_a injury_n be_v in_o danger_n of_o judgement_n we_o see_v to_o what_o point_n our_o lord_n jesus_n lead_v we_o namely_o to_o show_v that_o albeit_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o protest_v that_o we_o have_v commit_v no_o outrage_n that_o we_o have_v not_o lift_v up_o our_o fist_n to_o give_v one_o blow_n much_o less_o draw_v our_o sword_n against_o our_o neighbour_n and_o that_o we_o have_v not_o wound_v he_o that_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o but_o know_v you_o say_v he_o that_o god_o will_v bear_v rule_n over_o your_o tongue_n over_o your_o thought_n and_o over_o all_o your_o affection_n as_o by_o good_a reason_n he_o ought_v see_v it_o be_v so_o who_o so_o ever_o shall_v have_v speak_v evil_a of_o his_o neighbour_n the_o same_o be_v already_o a_o murderer_n for_o the_o tongue_n be_v as_o a_o sharp_a sword_n therefore_o albeit_o you_o shall_v have_v neither_o sword_n nor_o dagger_n to_o strike_v withal_o when_o the_o tongue_n be_v so_o arm_v to_o speak_v evil_a against_o your_o neighbour_n when_o you_o abuse_v their_o person_n it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o murder_n in_o the_o sight_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_o and_o although_o you_o have_v do_v no_o open_a and_o manifest_a injury_n yet_o think_v you_o not_o to_o be_v quite_v for_o all_o this_o for_o when_o you_o shall_v have_v but_o mutter_v and_o mumble_v something_o between_o your_o lip_n against_o they_o it_o suffice_v to_o make_v you_o culpable_a and_o guilty_a before_o god_o you_o shall_v be_v condemn_v from_o the_o high_a throne_n of_o the_o heaven_n albeit_o you_o be_v absolve_v before_o man_n and_o that_o earthly_a judgement_n proceed_v not_o against_o you_o when_o we_o hear_v this_o let_v we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v he_o who_o god_o the_o father_n have_v give_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n who_o speak_v unto_o we_o we_o ought_v not_o therefore_o here_o to_o dispense_v more_o large_o with_o ourselves_o 5._o for_o we_o shall_v gain_v nothing_o by_o all_o our_o cavil_v shift_n but_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o have_v respect_n always_o unto_o god_o to_o have_v a_o right_n and_o true_a exposition_n of_o the_o law_n for_o what_o be_v he_o which_o speak_v he_o which_o bear_v rule_n over_o our_o heart_n and_o thought_n he_o which_o will_v not_o be_v serve_v of_o we_o with_o eye_n service_n he_o which_o be_v not_o content_v that_o before_o man_n we_o abstain_v from_o do_v of_o evil_a but_o will_v be_v worship_v in_o spirit_n and_o truth_n who_o will_v have_v that_o our_o conscience_n be_v chaste_a and_o pure_a that_o we_o be_v purge_v from_o all_o wickedness_n thus_o when_o we_o shall_v have_v respect_n unto_o the_o nature_n of_o god_o we_o must_v no_o long_o extend_v the_o law_n of_o god_o to_o the_o outward_a work_v but_o we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v that_o when_o god_n speak_v of_o murder_n he_o understand_v all_o enmity_n he_o speak_v of_o all_o anger_n &_o indignation_n of_o all_o rancour_n &_o malice_n against_o our_o neighbour_n and_o in_o deed_n 15._o that_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n why_o express_o s._n john_n say_v that_o he_o which_o hate_v his_o brother_n in_o his_o heart_n be_v a_o manstear_n as_o if_o he_o do_v say_v you_o may_v make_v many_o fair_a countenance_n but_o albeit_o the_o hatred_n you_o conceive_v be_v very_o hide_v and_o secret_a and_o that_o you_o dissemble_v so_o deep_o that_o you_o show_v no_o token_n of_o malice_n against_o your_o neighbour_n think_v you_o not_o for_o all_o this_o that_o god_o have_v his_o eye_n shut_v and_o close_v up_o well_o it_o may_v be_v hide_v and_o privy_a from_o man_n which_o you_o have_v not_o make_v open_a and_o manifest_a but_o when_o you_o hate_v your_o neighbour_n in_o your_o heart_n that_o be_v to_o say_v most_o secret_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o none_o be_v able_a to_o perceive_v it_o yet_o lo_o notwithstanding_o a_o murder_n commit_v before_o god_n and_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v most_o evident_a and_o manifest_a it_o be_v true_a that_o when_o the_o prince_n and_o magistrate_n of_o this_o world_n make_v law_n it_o be_v not_o after_o the_o manner_n and_o fashion_n of_o god_o but_o to_o this_o end_n only_o that_o every_o one_o rule_n and_o govern_v himself_o according_a to_o outward_a order_n and_o policy_n that_o none_o be_v open_o injury_v but_o that_o every_o one_o have_v his_o right_n and_o that_o peace_n and_o concord_n be_v maintain_v among_o man_n that_o be_v the_o intent_n and_o meaning_n of_o magistrate_n when_o they_o make_v their_o law_n and_o why_o they_o be_v mortal_a man_n they_o can_v not_o reform_v the_o inward_a and_o hide_a affection_n 24._o this_o appertain_v unto_o god_o they_o sound_v not_o the_o heart_n for_o this_o be_v the_o proper_a office_n of_o god_o as_o the_o holy_a scripture_n attribute_v it_o unto_o he_o but_o yet_o this_o notwithstanding_o when_o a_o civil_a law_n be_v make_v although_o one_o shed_v not_o one_o drop_n of_o blood_n yet_o be_v he_o adjudge_v worthy_a to_o be_v lead_v to_o the_o gallows_n if_o it_o shall_v be_v know_v and_o prove_v that_o he_o endeavour_v with_o all_o his_o might_n to_o have_v murder_v one_o if_o a_o man_n have_v draw_v his_o sword_n upon_o one_o who_o ward_v off_o the_o blow_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o touch_v not_o his_o skin_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o law_n even_o of_o the_o paynim_n condemn_v such_o a_o man_n to_o the_o gibbet_n as_o well_o worthy_a thereof_o and_o why_o for_o the_o law_n

use_v his_o name_n but_o to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o be_v yet_o more_o clear_o understand_v we_o must_v mark_v that_o god_n under_o one_o kind_n will_v here_o show_v we_o what_o majesty_n there_o be_v in_o his_o name_n to_o the_o end_n we_o speak_v not_o of_o it_o but_o with_o all_o fear_n and_o reverence_n therefore_o above_o all_o other_o kind_n of_o profane_v his_o name_n he_o take_v the_o especial_a form_n of_o a_o oath_n when_o any_o question_n be_v of_o swear_v we_o see_v how_o our_o lord_n love_v we_o in_o that_o he_o dare_v we_o his_o name_n to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v communicate_v with_o our_o neighbour_n &_o if_o there_o be_v any_o controversy_n and_o dissension_n among_o we_o it_o may_v be_v end_v by_o this_o mean_a namely_o that_o if_o we_o be_v not_o believe_v if_o any_o matter_n be_v in_o doubt_n the_o name_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v bring_v forth_o as_o umpire_n in_o the_o matter_n to_o end_v the_o controversy_n so_o as_o the_o thing_n shall_v be_v altogether_o certain_a when_o it_o shall_v have_v such_o a_o confirmation_n be_v not_o this_o a_o inestimable_a goodness_n that_o our_o lord_n abase_v himself_o somuch_o as_o to_o permit_v we_o to_o use_v his_o name_n and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n be_v so_o precious_a that_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v abase_v so_o far_o but_o yet_o he_o bouchsafe_v to_o apply_v himself_o unto_o we_o so_o much_o great_a than_o be_v our_o villainy_n &_o wickedness_n if_o we_o unhallow_a the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o our_o oath_n now_o this_o be_v do_v not_o only_a when_o we_o be_v forswear_v but_o if_o we_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o our_o mouth_n rash_o and_o at_o random_n when_o we_o have_v not_o a_o regard_n to_o speak_v thereof_o in_o all_o wisdom_n and_o discretion_n and_o consider_v whether_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o controersie_n deserve_v to_o be_v confirm_v in_o such_o manner_n or_o no_o for_o if_o we_o use_v it_o rash_o and_o foolish_o behold_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v as_o it_o be_v unhallowed_a it_o be_v true_a that_o god_n account_v it_o for_o one_o kind_n of_o his_o service_n when_o man_n swear_v by_o his_o name_n not_o that_o he_o be_v herein_o bind_v unto_o we_o but_o altogether_o the_o contrary_n for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o touch_v we_o ought_v to_o perceive_v in_o this_o thing_n how_o god_o bear_v with_o we_o when_o he_o licence_v we_o to_o use_v his_o name_n but_o yet_o do_v we_o in_o swear_v confess_v that_o god_o have_v all_o preeminence_n and_o superiority_n over_o we_o he_o which_o be_v inferior_a swear_v by_o he_o which_o be_v his_o sovereign_a &_o great_a 16._o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n and_o if_o we_o know_v to_o what_o end_n a_o oath_n serve_v we_o shall_v understand_v that_o this_o can_v not_o agree_v but_o only_o to_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n for_o by_o it_o our_o meaning_n be_v to_o confirm_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v secret_a and_o can_v have_v no_o other_o proof_n among_o man_n now_o this_o can_v not_o be_v do_v by_o any_o creature_n but_o herein_o god_o must_v show_v himself_o for_o it_o be_v he_o which_o sound_v the_o depth_n of_o man_n heart_n and_o hereupon_o also_o not_o without_o cause_n he_o challenge_v to_o himself_o the_o title_n of_o truth_n we_o see_v then_o that_o in_o swear_v we_o do_v homage_n unto_o god_n protest_v that_o he_o be_v our_o judge_n and_o that_o it_o be_v he_o unto_o who_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v recourse_n for_o thing_n which_o be_v doubtful_a and_o hide_a because_o it_o be_v his_o office_n to_o bring_v they_o unto_o light_n and_o because_o he_o will_v maintain_v the_o truth_n for_o that_o it_o appertain_v to_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o god_o repute_v it_o for_o one_o form_n of_o his_o service_n when_o one_o swear_v by_o his_o name_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o superfluous_a and_o unnecessary_a oath_n by_o this_o we_o perceive_v that_o the_o fault_n of_o they_o which_o forswear_v themselves_o or_o swear_v at_o random_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o grievous_a for_o this_o be_v as_o it_o be_v to_o violate_v the_o service_n of_o god_n and_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o we_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o nothing_o as_o for_o they_o which_o pervire_v themselves_o they_o be_v not_o only_o culpable_a of_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_o in_o vain_a and_o of_o false_o abuse_v it_o but_o they_o be_v rebel_n and_o traitor_n to_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n for_o know_v we_o how_o to_o work_v any_o great_a outrage_n against_o god_o than_o to_o abolish_v his_o truth_n no._n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o belong_v unto_o he_o so_o this_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o we_o will_v pluck_v he_o out_o of_o his_o throne_n and_o utter_o beereve_v he_o of_o all_o divine_a honour_n and_o glory_n for_o this_o be_v do_v when_o his_o truth_n be_v turn_v into_o a_o lie_n whosoever_o therefore_o forswear_v himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v whosoever_o take_v the_o name_n of_o god_o in_o a_o evil_a conscience_n to_o colour_v false_a thing_n to_o cloak_n and_o disguise_v a_o untruth_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v beguile_v and_o deceive_v other_o let_v he_o know_v it_o for_o certainty_n that_o he_o blaspheme_v god_n in_o so_o do_v now_o purpose_o i_o say_v to_o disguise_v a_o untruth_n for_o many_o dispense_n with_o themselves_o because_o before_o man_n they_o can_v not_o be_v convict_v of_o perjury_n and_o why_o they_o turn_v the_o best_a side_n of_o the_o coat_n they_o paint_v and_o trim_a their_o matter_n so_o well_o that_o it_o shall_v seem_v very_o well_o to_o man_n they_o speak_v the_o truth_n &_o be_v not_o perjure_v but_o god_o allow_v not_o any_o such_o subtlety_n let_v we_o not_o then_o think_v to_o be_v acquit_v and_o

god_o otherwise_o than_o in_o truth_n and_o in_o simplicity_n blaspheme_v he_o mark_v this_o for_o one_o point_n now_o as_o for_o they_o which_o swear_v rash_o and_o without_o cause_n they_o declare_v sufficient_o that_o they_o make_v no_o other_o account_n than_o to_o sport_v themselves_o with_o god_n it_o be_v true_a they_o protest_v the_o contrary_a they_o will_v still_o say_v their_o meaning_n be_v not_o such_o but_o this_o be_v but_o hypocrisy_n for_o the_o effect_n sufficient_o prove_v that_o they_o bear_v no_o reverence_n unto_o god_n if_o a_o mortal_a man_n be_v heal_v dear_a of_o we_o we_o take_v not_o his_o name_n in_o vain_a we_o will_v not_o that_o any_o make_v a_o scorn_n of_o he_o and_o flout_v he_o and_o when_o a_o matter_n of_o play_n and_o mockery_n be_v propose_v we_o can_v not_o suffer_v that_o he_o be_v bring_v in_o as_o on_o the_o stage_n for_o we_o take_v this_o to_o be_v to_o his_o infamy_n and_o discredit_n and_o will_v we_o have_v a_o great_a privilege_n than_o the_o live_a god_o we_o be_v vile_a carrion_n and_o rottenness_n itself_o and_o yet_o will_v we_o be_v have_v in_o honour_n and_o estimation_n and_o shall_v our_o god_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n
