A79863	Here is the swearers and they who swear falsly, and likewise they who compel men to swear, all tried by the law of the spirit of life which is in Chirst Jesus. Which law is holy, just, pure, and good; and all of them found guilty of sin and transgression against the true and living God; and also sentence pronounced against them all, that so transgress the Law of God, who with the wicked, and all they who forget God, must be turned into Hell, except they repent speedily; for with God there is no respect of persons in Judgement.

keep his Commandements or if they loved God then they would keep his Commandments and be a terrour to all evil doers and love them that are begotten to the Truth of God the which they do not But as Iohn said I know the blasphemy of them that say they are Iews are not but are the Synagogue of Satan So I say I know the blasphemy of them that lye and say they are Christians but are not but are members of the great whore of Babylon for I know what the tree is by its fruits Therefore O King and Rulers of England leave the paths of the wicked and go not in the way of evili men avoid it pass by it turn from it and pass away for they sleep not except they have done mischief and their sleep is taken away unless they cause some to fall for they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence Therefore their wayes and customes are evil and vain and not to be followed Therefore take warning and while ye have time prise it except ye intend to go on in wickedness and so to partake of all the plagues that is a coming upon all the Kings Rulers and Judges of the earth who are drunk with the bloud of the Saints and holy Martyrs of Jesus Christ Come now all you who command and compel men to swear By forms of Oathes and likewise all you who swear by forms of Oathes or otherwayes for the end of my writing is for the convincing of you all that swearing and compelling to swear is a sinne against the true and living God and that you may all see that by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus you are all evil doers and transgressours of a pure holy and a just law For God so loved the world That he gave his onely begotten Son that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life he was in the beginning before Abraham and a greater then Abraham was is he of whom Moses a servant of God wrote saying The Lord God said I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren like unto thee and I will put my words in his mouth and he shall speak whatsoever I command him and whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name I will require it of him and said Peter Every soul which will not hear that Prophet shall he destroyed from among the people And Jesus Christ being come he taught his Disciples saying But I say unto you swear not at all for God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in times past unto the Fathers by the Prophets hath in these last dayes spoken unto us by his Son who is the end of the Law and the Prophets to every one that believeth in him and he spake and said Swear not at all He whom God hath appointed heir of all things by whom also he made the world who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person and is sate down on the right hand of his Majesty on high being made much better then the Angels as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name then they for all the Angels must worship him and to the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess by the Spirit of God that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father and Matthew further said That at that time when Iesus took Peter Iames and Iohn his Brother up into a high Mountain apart behold a bright cloud overshadowed them and a voice was heard out of the cloud and this voice which came from heaven we heard said Peter when we were with him in the Mount which voice said This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased hear ye him He is the end of the Law and the Prophets to every one that believeth in him And Jesus Christ taught his Disciples saying But I say unto you swear not at all c. And which of you all is it that will forsake to go with a Kings Son that is far more excellent then the servant of that King to follow that servant the which if you should would not the King be much displeased with you Consider of it Moses was a servant of God and faithfull in the house of God and did all things according to the pattern shewd of God in the Mount but when Jesus Christ the Son of the living God who had the more excellent name was come from his Father then all that received him and believed on his Name forsook Moses and the Law and followed him and obeyed him who was the end of the Law and the Prophets to every one that believeth in him Christ Jesus the Son of God who said unto them Swear not at all c. 1 Now I say there is a Law that came by Moses which was given unto him in Mount Sinai for the children of Israel onely and not to any other people or Nation to observe and keep but grace and Truth which was and is preached to all Nations came by Jesus Christ For God had chosen them viz the children of Israel above all other people that were upon the face of the earth to be a peculiar people unto himself and unto them were committed the Oracles or Counsels of God For he shewed his word unto Iacob and his Statutes and his Iudgements unto Israel and said David He hath not dealt so with any Nation for his judgements they have not known and it is written in Moses Law Hear O Israel thou shalt fear the Lord thy God and serve him and shalt swear by his name and not by the false gods that other nations swear by and an Oath of confirmation was to them an end of all strife and that was thus if any man deliver unto his neighbour an Asse or an Ox or a Sheep or any beast to keep and it dye or be hurt or driven away no man seeing it then shall an Oath of the Lord and not Oaths of mens making up into a form be between them both that he who received the cattle to keep hath not put his hand unto his neighbours goods to hurt kill or drive them away and the owner of the goods was to accept of the Oath of God that the receiver had sworn and the receiver of the goods to keep was not to make them good and this oath of God taken before a Iudge was to them an end of all strife but other Nations were not required to sweat by that Oath of God for as Paul said That God in times past suffered all Nations to walk in their own ways c. 2.
