the_o doctor_n it_o be_v the_o four_o of_o jeremy_n the_o second_o verse_n quater_n you_o say_v true_a say_v i_o and_o therefore_o i_o pray_v sir_n bring_v the_o oath_n ex_fw-la officio_fw-la to_o that_o scripture_n and_o open_v that_o scripture_n and_o show_v how_o lawful_o by_o that_o scripture_n i_o may_v take_v the_o oath_n doct._n feat_n that_o will_v i_o glad_o do_v say_v the_o doctor_n

will_v speak_v nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n second_o thou_o shall_v swear_v in_o judgement_n and_o that_o do_v i_o believe_v you_o will_v do_v because_o you_o be_v a_o understanding_n man_n three_o thou_o shall_v swear_v in_o righteousness_n and_o that_o do_v i_o also_o believe_v you_o will_v do_v because_o the_o oath_n be_v in_o a_o lawful_a way_n administer_v unto_o you_o it_o be_v a_o righteous_a and_o a_o just_a thing_n for_o you_o to_o submit_v thereunto_o quater_n now_o good_a sir_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o deal_v with_o the_o oath_n and_o with_o 〈◊〉_d scripture_n and_o to_o

to_o the_o rule_n aforecited_a doct._n feat_n yea_o with_o all_o my_o heart_n say_v the_o doctor_n god_n forbid_v else_o it_o be_v very_o fit_a that_o we_o shall_v labour_v to_o have_v our_o judgement_n inform_v in_o every_o thing_n quater_n then_o sir_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o can_v swear_v in_o truth_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o shall_v ask_v i_o as_o pilate_n do_v christ_n what_o thing_n be_v truth_n i_o must_v answer_v he_o in_o this_o particular_a i_o can_v tell_v and_o that_o because_o truth_n be_v wrap_v up_o and_o hide_v from_o my_o eye_n either_o in_o the_o administration_n of_o the_o oath_n or_o in_o the_o oath_n itself_o that_o i_o can_v see_v it_o second_o i_o can_v swear_v in_o judgement_n because_o my_o judgement_n want_v information_n from_o my_o understanding_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o darkness_n and_o obscurity_n of_o the_o oath_n and_o you_o know_v what_o solomon_n say_v where_o there_o be_v not_o judgement_n the_o mind_n be_v not_o good_a three_o i_o can_v swear_v in_o righteousness_n for_o it_o be_v a_o unrighteous_a thing_n for_o i_o either_o to_o accuse_v myself_o or_o my_o brother_n and_o therefore_o i_o conceive_v by_o virtue_n of_o this_o scripture_n this_o oath_n can_v lay_v no_o weight_n on_o my_o conscience_n and_o therefore_o we_o will_v bring_v it_o to_o the_o rule_n as_o to_o the_o touchstone_n to_o try_v it_o by_o for_o i_o do_v conceive_v the_o end_n of_o this_o oath_n be_v void_a because_o neither_o be_v god_n glorify_v nor_o my_o brother_n edify_v which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o end_n of_o every_o action_n and_o now_o as_o concerning_o the_o rise_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v we_o will_v examine_v that_o doct._n feat_n i_o pray_v do_v so_o i_o like_v this_o very_a well_o quater_n then_o sir_n you_o may_v remember_v the_o oath_n be_v ground_v on_o a_o statute_n in_o henry_n the_o four_o time_n and_o it_o be_v a_o curse_a curb_n or_o scourge_v invent_v by_o the_o papist_n and_o prelate_n to_o punish_v and_o put_v to_o death_n the_o people_n of_o god_n under_o the_o name_n of_o lollord_n who_o then_o be_v true_a christian_n and_o this_o oath_n be_v suppress_v in_o king_n edward_n day_n and_o in_o queen_n mary_n day_n it_o be_v set_v up_o again_o and_o in_o the_o first_o of_o queen_n elizabeth_n it_o be_v suppress_v and_o the_o high_a commission_n court_n be_v establish_v and_o have_v continue_v by_o the_o bishop_n ever_o since_o and_o they_o have_v make_v use_n of_o this_o oath_n both_o to_o suppress_v the_o people_n and_o truth_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o rise_n of_o this_o oath_n can_v be_v good_a three_o this_o oath_n be_v contrary_a to_o all_o good_a mean_n for_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n every_o thing_n shall_v be_v determine_v by_o two_o or_o three_o witness_n and_o this_o oath_n cause_v a_o man_n to_o be_v his_o own_o accuser_n witness_n and_o judge_v contrary_a to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o land_n and_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o therefore_o this_o oath_n as_o it_o be_v a_o action_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v good_a and_o therefore_o to_o be_v avoid_v quater_n now_o sir_n i_o pray_v let_v i_o ask_v you_o a_o
