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

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

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

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

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

the_o spirit_n of_o error_n and_o that_o abide_v not_o therein_o be_v not_o of_o god_n but_o of_o the_o world_n 1_o john_n 4.5_o 6._o and_o the_o whole_a world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n ch._n 5.19_o so_o he_o that_o say_v i_o know_v he_o or_o profess_v he_o and_o keep_v not_o his_o commandment_n be_v a_o liar_n and_o out_o of_o the_o truth_n and_o so_o a_o deceiver_n and_o a_o antichrist_n dedy_v both_o the_o

be_v such_o oath_n and_o swear_v but_o i_o do_v not_o read_v nor_o believe_v nor_o any_o other_o true_a christian_n that_o god_n do_v ever_o in_o any_o age_n or_o to_o any_o people_n whatsoever_o

do_v then_o or_o do_v now_o use_v who_o persecute_v they_o that_o witness_v the_o oath_n and_o everlasting_a covenant_n of_o god_n fulfil_v which_o now_o say_v to_o his_o disciple_n swear_v not_o at_o

27._o object_n but_o here_o may_v yet_o another_o question_n arise_v in_o the_o unsariable_a reason_a part_n among_o people_n in_o the_o world_n viz._n if_o all_o swear_n and_o oath_n be_v now_o forbid_a and_o that_o we_o must_v not_o swear_v at_o all_o by_o the_o command_n of_o christ_n jesus_n what_o then_o will_v become_v of_o all_o the_o world_n one_o man_n may_v kill_v another_o and_o

grant_v the_o whole_a world_n lie_v in_o wickedness_n as_o the_o apostle_n john_n say_v and_o they_o themselves_o confess_v the_o same_o that_o they_o break_v the_o command_n of_o god_n every_o day_n in_o thought_n word_n and_o deed_n which_o be_v also_o very_o apparent_a to_o all_o who_o eye_n be_v open_a and_o many_o time_n complain_v there_o be_v no_o health_n or_o truth_n in_o they_o and_o that_o they_o be_v miserable_a sinner_n this_o be_v general_o confess_v throughout_o europe_n and_o it_o may_v be_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n among_o the_o swearer_n who_o be_v still_o in_o

these_o be_v all_o of_o the_o world_n and_o their_o teacher_n who_o plead_v for_o swear_v and_o oath_n be_v of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n hear_v they_o 1_o john_n 5.19_o these_o be_v miserable_a sinner_n without_o truth_n and_o health_n no_o soundness_n from_o the_o crown_n of_o the_o head_n to_o the_o sole_a of_o the_o foot_n from_o the_o high_a and_o mighty_a to_o the_o beggar_n on_o the_o dunghill_n but_o all_o go_v out_o of_o the_o way_n err_v and_o stray_v from_o the_o right_a way_n as_o they_o themselves_o confess_v 30_o now_o when_o these_o do_v steal_v one_o from_o another_o or_o kill_v murder_n or_o rob_v one_o another_o we_o do_v not_o bid_v they_o refrain_v from_o swear_v one_o against_o another_o in_o that_o case_n because_o they_o be_v no_o christian_n and_o what_o have_v we_o to_o do_v with_o they_o that_o be_v without_o as_o paul_n say_v for_o such_o god_n judge_v 1_o cor._n 5.12_o 13._o but_o we_o direct_v and_o inform_v people_n mind_n and_o exhort_v they_o that_o be_v thus_o in_o strife_n and_o swear_v kill_a and_o steal_v for_o which_o the_o land_n mourn_v hos_n 4.2.3_o to_o come_v to_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o their_o

therefore_o you_o shall_v consider_v that_o this_o strife_n swear_v and_o oath_n be_v not_o among_o christian_n who_o obey_v christ_n command_n and_o abide_v in_o his_o doctrine_n but_o in_o the_o
