A87229	The great case of conscience opened: in the particular unfolding, and examination of those two difficult texts, in Mat. 5.33,34. and Jam. 5.12. about the lawfulness or unlawfulness of swearing: wherein the evidence of Scripture-light, as laid down in the Old and New Testament, in variety of cases and examples (not hitherto insisted on) are succinctly and clearly stated; and usefully accommodated & suited to the present state and condition of many suffering Christians.

6.30_o give_v to_o every_o man_n that_o ask_v and_o of_o he_o that_o take_v away_o thy_o good_n ask_v they_o not_o again_o and_o mat._n 5.44_o christ_n say_v give_v to_o every_o man_n that_o ask_v

the_o conscience_n of_o all_o unprejudiced_a man_n whether_o christ_n in_o his_o sermon_n mat._n 5.42_o do_v not_o as_o firm_o forbid_v our_o turn_n away_o from_o any_o one_o that_o will_v borrow_v of_o we_o as_o he_o do_v forbid_v all_o swear_n in_o the_o same_o sermon_n when_o he_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o and_o if_o so_o why_o shall_v any_o be_v offend_v for_o put_v a_o restriction_n upon_o the_o one_o text_n when_o it_o be_v no_o more_o than_o what_o themselves_o be_v willing_a to_o put_v upon_o the_o other_o since_o as_o i_o have_v say_v there_o be_v as_o good_a scripture_n and_o reason_n for_o the_o restrain_v those_o general_a term_n swear_v not_o at_o all_o as_o there_o be_v for_o the_o restrain_v those_o other_o word_n of_o christ_n give_v to_o every_o one_o that_o ask_v and_o if_o any_o body_n ask_v of_o thou_o turn_v thou_o not_o away_o and_o if_o any_o body_n take_v away_o thy_o good_n ask_v they_o not_o again_o have_v prove_v that_o those_o two_o text_n mat._n 5._o and_o james_n 5._o do_v not_o forbid_v all_o such_o swear_n as_o be_v command_v under_o the_o law_n my_o last_o business_n be_v to_o show_v what_o swear_v be_v forbid_v in_o those_o two_o scripture_n first_o than_o all_o swear_n in_o our_o common_a communication_n be_v forbid_v and_o that_o appear_v by_o these_o word_n but_o let_v your_o communication_n be_v yea_o yea_o and_o nay_o nay_o but_o to_o this_o it_o be_v object_v that_o james_n forbid_v all_o manner_n of_o swear_v when_o he_o say_v

neither_o by_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n nor_o any_o other_o oath_n i_o answer_v so_o do_v god_n borbid_v all_o manner_n of_o work_v on_o the_o sabbath_n which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o ordinary_a and_o common_a work_n as_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v in_o like_a manner_n do_v our_o saviour_n and_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v all_o common_a swear_n in_o our_o ordinary_a conversation_n and_o not_o solemn_a and_o sacred_a swear_n but_o it_o be_v further_o object_v that_o such_o swear_v be_v always_o forbid_v even_o under_o the_o law_n and_o that_o christ_n seem_v to_o forbid_v somewhat_o that_o be_v not_o forbid_v before_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o those_o word_n but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o etc._n etc._n do_v not_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o his_o precept_n or_o say_n that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o law_n but_o rather_o somewhat_o that_o he_o will_v reinforce_v from_o the_o law_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o false_a gloss_n upon_o it_o have_v no_o force_n upon_o their_o life_n as_o for_o instance_n the_o law_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o kill_v but_o christ_n say_v that_o they_o shall_v not_o hate_v their_o brother_n without_o a_o cause_n so_o say_v the_o law_n also_o levit._n 19.17_o the_o law_n say_v they_o shall_v love_v their_o neighbour_n and_o hate_v their_o enemy_n which_o be_v understand_v of_o those_o nation_n that_o god_n charge_v they_o to_o have_v no_o friendship_n with_o but_o christ_n bid_v they_o love_v their_o enemy_n which_o the_o law_n also_o bid_v they_o except_v in_o the_o case_n before_o except_v for_o this_o see_v exod_v 23.4_o if_o thou_o meet_v thy_o enemy_n ox_n or_o ass_n go_v astray_o thou_o shall_v bring_v he_o to_o he_o again_o and_o prov._n 24.17_o and_o prov._n 25.21_o if_o thy_o enemy_n hunger_n feed_v he_o now_o this_o be_v the_o false_a gloss_n because_o the_o law_n say_v that_o when_o god_n give_v they_o rest_n from_o all_o their_o enemy_n they_o shall_v not_o forget_v amaleck_n but_o put_v out_o the_o remembrance_n of_o he_o deut._n 17.18_o 19_o and_o that_o they_o shall_v have_v no_o friendship_n with_o that_o people_n hereupon_o they_o conclude_v contrary_a to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n that_o they_o may_v hate_v any_o person_n that_o be_v their_o private_a enemy_n and_o avenge_v themselves_o upon_o he_o and_o so_o because_o the_o law_n say_v a_o eye_n for_o a_o eye_n and_o a_o tooth_n for_o a_o tooth_n therefore_o they_o will_v avenge_v themselves_o and_o be_v their_o own_o judge_n and_o executioner_n hereupon_o christ_n bid_v they_o not_o to_o avenge_v themselves_o this_o be_v also_o forbid_v under_o the_o law_n levit._n 19.18_o thou_o shall_v not_o avenge_v so_o the_o law_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o commit_v adultery_n but_o christ_n say_v he_o that_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o have_v commit_v adultery_n with_o she_o in_o his_o heart_n now_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o be_v always_o a_o sin_n prov._n 6.25_o and_o so_o because_o the_o law_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o forswear_v themselves_o they_o matter_a not_o though_o they_o swear_v upon_o every_o trivial_a and_o slight_a occasion_n so_o as_o they_o do_v not_o forswear_v they_o think_v they_o be_v not_o too_o blame_v to_o this_o false_a gloss_n of_o their_o christ_n oppose_v when_o he_o say_v but_o i_o say_v swear_v not_o at_o all_o second_o christ_n oppose_v his_o speech_n to_o another_o custom_n of_o they_o which_o be_v that_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v they_o shall_v not_o forswear_v their selve_o but_o perform_v to_o the_o lord_n their_o oath_n therefore_o they_o do_v not_o matter_n what_o they_o swear_v by_o so_o they_o perform_v the_o thing_n they_o promise_v therefore_o christ_n forbid_v their_o swear_v any_o oath_n either_o by_o heaven_n or_o earth_n or_o the_o temple_n or_o jerusalem_n or_o by_o their_o head_n but_o will_v it_o not_o be_v i_o logical_a to_o conclude_v from_o hence_o that_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o swear_v by_o the_o lord_n in_o thing_n lawful_a so_o that_o by_o this_o text_n and_o that_o in_o james_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o swear_v by_o any_o oath_n that_o we_o call_v any_o thing_n below_o god_n or_o jesus_n christ_n to_o bear_v record_n to_o three_o this_o text_n do_v not_o only_o forbid_v all_o vain_a swear_n in_o our_o communication_n and_o all_o solemn_a swear_n one_o to_o another_o by_o any_o thing_n below_o god_n but_o it_o also_o forbid_v all_o voluntary_a oath_n which_o they_o swear_v to_o perform_v to_o the_o lord_n if_o they_o do_v not_o swear_v by_o the_o lord_n but_o by_o heaven_n or_o earth_n or_o the_o like_a therefore_o christ_n say_v it_o be_v say_v of_o old_a time_n thou_o shall_v not_o forswear_v thyself_o but_o shall_v perform_v to_o the_o lord_n thy_o oath_n hereupon_o they_o think_v if_o they_o promise_v or_o dedicate_v any_o thing_n to_o a_o religious_a use_n or_o make_v any_o vow_n to_o the_o lord_n if_o they_o swear_v by_o a_o creature_n that_o they_o will_v perform_v what_o they_o vow_v they_o think_v they_o have_v answer_v the_o law_n that_o this_o be_v a_o custom_n see_v mat._n 23.16_o 18._o whosoever_o swear_v by_o

sense_n which_o they_o have_v put_v upon_o the_o law_n not_o only_o in_o swear_v but_o in_o other_o thing_n also_o this_o answer_n will_v serve_v to_o that_o text_n james_n 5._o for_o since_o as_o i_o
