therefore_o that_o make_v it_o their_o common_a practice_n to_o swear_v vain_o and_o they_o too_o that_o under_o pretence_n of_o law_n dare_v to_o administer_v or_o receive_v any_o oath_n how_o

find_v it_o as_o plain_a likewise_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n first_o we_o see_v that_o philip_n preach_v the_o gospel_n a_o long_a while_n to_o the_o ethiopian_a eunuch_n bofore_o

we_o answer_v thus_o to_o the_o first_o we_o say_v that_o though_o god_n do_v visit_v our_o sin_n upon_o we_o by_o the_o turk_n jew_n heritick_n etc._n etc._n yet_o we_o be_v not_o forbid_v to_o

those_o that_o can_v sight_n pray_v and_o those_o that_o fight_n pray_v too_o so_o they_o may_v obtain_v doubtless_o the_o easy_a victory_n to_o the_o second_o we_o grant_v that_o our_o saviour_n

to_o offer_v the_o other_o also_o for_o then_o neither_o christ_n nor_o his_o apostle_n have_v be_v so_o perfect_a for_o christ_n when_o he_o be_v strike_v on_o one_o side_n before_o the_o chief_a

those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n must_v be_v understand_v that_o we_o resist_v not_o evil_a that_o be_v that_o we_o seek_v not_o our_o own_o private_a revenge_n but_o shall_v be_v rather_o ready_a

the_o invader_n as_o well_o as_o the_o defender_n ought_v not_o to_o make_v war_n out_o of_o any_o private_a affection_n to_o revenge_v but_o out_o of_o a_o right_a intention_n for_o the_o public_a
