XVI Concerning Swearing THE Form of words which Christ hath laid down in Mat. 5 and the Apostle James taught in his general Epistle Chap. 5 is as followeth Christ said Ye have heard that it hath been said ●f old time Thou shalt not forswear thy self which was the false Oath but perform thy Oaths to the Lord which was the true Oath which were to be taken before the Judges Officers and Magistrates to end Controversies and be performed to the Lord. Put Christ said Now I say unto you Swear not at all but let your yea be yea and nay nay for whatso ver is more then this cometh of evil Therefore this yea yea and nay nay wherein Christ doubles his words to make them of force sets them over and above an Oath And also in James 5.12 the Apostle taught and said Above all things my brethren swear not at all neither by Heaven nor by Earth mark nor by any other Oath but he also sets up that which is above an Oath which is Christs words Let your yea be yea and nay nay which form of sound words the Apostle doubles as Christ did when he said in his repeating over Christs words Ye shall swear no Oath lost ye fall into condemnation These are the Commands of Christ and the Apostle which we are to stand by to wit yea yea and nay nay Some Ex ●●ples of the Primitiv Christians and Holy Martyrs that k●pt the Commands of Christ and the Apostles which spoke the truth an both denied and gave their Testimony against S●earing Folycarpus a Martyr who was as it is said John's Disciple and Bishop of Smyr●a being Eighty nine years of Age when he was required by the Proconsul to swear he denied it and said he was a Christian So it appears a that t●me Christians did not swear Acts and Mon. fol. 55.

And merefore as the perfection of the ancient men in the Old Testament was not to forswear themselves so the perfection of Christian men is not to swear at all because they are so commanded of Christ whose command in no case must be broken Origen saith It behoves a man who lives according to the Gospel not to swear at all And Jerome an ancient Father and Teacher of the Church which the Protestants own saith That the great Evangelical sincerity and truth admits not of an Oath since every true saying is equivolent thereunto Theophilact an ancient Father of the Church whom the Protestants own saith Mat. 5. concerning Oaths Learn hence that under the Law it was no evil for one to swear but since the coming of Christ it is evil as is Circumcision And was it not the principal solution given by Ambrose That a Christian should not swear at all And Bishop Gauden saith A true Christians Oath is needless and an evil mans Oath is worthy of no more credit then a lyar p. 17 41. of his Book concerning Swearing Otho Bishop of Banbergenses in Germany and Basilius of Calcedon refused to swear and afterwards there was an Act granted to tender Christians that their yea and nay might be taken to testifie the truth instead of an Oath and the Essaeans amongst the Jews refused to swear as Josephus witnesseth Likewise Basil commends Chinas a famous Greek who suffered a Fine of three talents rather then he would save it by swearing to the loss of his honour And also in Queen Maries dayes many that suffered Martyrdom refused to swear And in Mat. 18.17 Christ saith in the Gospel-times to the Church that by the mouth of two or three Witnesses every word may be established and not in the mouth of two or three Swearers and this Christ spoke in matter of differences that might happen among Christians but said nothing of an Oath for Oaths he forbad before The Examination of William Thorpe Martyr in the days of King Henry the Fourth Anno Dom. 1407 concerning Swearing The Arch-Bishop said Lo it is certified against thee that thou preachedst openly at Shrewsberry that it is not lawful to Swear in any case Book of Martyrs p. 701.
