of_o the_o vile_a sinner_n of_o the_o profane_v wretch_n and_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o punish_v he_o with_o the_o great_a and_o utmost_a severity_n which_o passage_n in_o deuteronomy_n i_o say_v i_o make_v choice_n of_o to_o illustrate_v this_o matter_n by_o not_o only_o because_o these_o word_n the_o lord_n will_v not_o hold_v he_o guiltless_a and_o these_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o spare_v be_v the_o very_a same_o figure_n and_o phrase_n of_o the_o very_a same_o import_n and_o signification_n but_o also_o and_o that_o chief_o because_o the_o whole_a character_n that_o be_v there_o give_v of_o a_o most_o vile_a and_o wicked_a man_n of_o one_o who_o be_v arrive_v to_o the_o high_a pitch_n of_o wickedness_n and_o who_o be_v harden_v in_o his_o sin_n and_o impenitence_n do_v more_o exact_o agree_v to_o one_o that_o be_v a_o customary_a swearer_n then_o to_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o sinner_n for_o where_o shall_v we_o find_v a_o root_n that_o bear_v gall_n and_o wormwood_n but_o in_o that_o heart_n out_o of_o which_o continual_o proceed_v abominable_a oath_n and_o curse_n who_o be_v there_o that_o be_v a_o great_a contemner_n of_o the_o curse_n which_o god_n have_v denounce_v against_o obstinate_a sinner_n than_o the_o profane_a swearer_n who_o more_o apt_a to_o say_v in_o his_o heart_n i_o shall_v have_v peace_n though_o he_o walk_v in_o the_o imagination_n of_o his_o own_o wicked_a heart_n than_o he_o who_o more_o ready_a to_o add_v drunkenness_n to_o thirst_n then_o such_o a_o one_o for_o though_o perhaps_o there_o have_v be_v many_o drunkard_n who_o have_v not_o be_v customary_a swearer_n yet_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v seldom_o or_o never_o a_o common_a swearer_n but_o he_o be_v a_o common_a drunkard_n too_o and_o therefore_o certain_o of_o all_o such_o we_o may_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n will_v not_o spare_v they_o but_o the_o anger_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o his_o jealousy_n shall_v smoke_v against_o they_o and_o all_o the_o curse_n and_o threaten_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o god_n shall_v light_v upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v well_o apply_v all_o those_o passage_n in_o which_o swear_v be_v forbid_v indefinite_o and_o where_o the_o person_n guilty_a be_v threaten_v not_o only_o to_o perjure_a person_n but_o to_o rash_a and_o vain_a swearer_n as_o hosea_n 4.2_o by_o swear_v and_o lie_v and_o

repentance_n and_o deep_a humiliation_n for_o as_o he_o have_v reveal_v his_o wrath_n from_o heaven_n against_o all_o such_o profaneness_n and_o impiety_n so_o the_o time_n will_v come_v when_o he_o will_v pour_v forth_o indignation_n and_o wrath_n tribulation_n and_o anguish_n upon_o all_o such_o as_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o and_o though_o the_o swearer_n may_v not_o draw_v down_o divine_a

that_o most_o tremendous_a curse_n which_o god_n will_v pronounce_v against_o all_o impenitent_a sinner_n go_v you_o curse_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n prepare_v for_o the_o devil_n and_o his_o

mankind_n will_v have_v no_o more_o society_n or_o commerce_n than_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air._n the_o gift_n of_o speech_n be_v a_o most_o divine_a thing_n
