section_n but_o whether_o a_o tyrannical_a oath_n tend_v to_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o saint_n either_o the_o swearer_n himself_o or_o his_o fellow_n saint_n may_v not_o when_o it_o be_v

you_o speak_v in_o your_o three_o last_o section_n we_o first_o grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o affinity_n betwixt_o a_o vow_n and_o a_o promissory_n oath_n and_o therefore_o as_o
