Opp. To impose an Oth,
When it is not necessary.
Vpon men of no credit, who make no conscience of
an Oth.
In matters of no moment.
Tumultuously and in haste.
Iniuriously, especially in a capitall cause, to make the
party accuse himselfe.
Against his conscience, when
hee knoweth that it
Is false.
Will not bee perfor∣med.
Opp. To
depose in
an Oth
Assertory, con∣trary
to con∣science, for
Malice.
Fauour.
Hire.
1. King 21. 13. Mark. 14. 56.
Promissory, contrary to a mans purpose: as
when being chosen to publike places, or
admitted into societies, men take Othes,
onely because it is the custome and man∣ner
that they should sweare, not because
they meane to keepe their Oth.
To sweare in our
communication,
Without
necessity,
Rashly.
Profanely. Ier. 23. 10.
Ordinarily and commonly.
The Pa∣pists
vow
to Saints,
both
Themselues: as to Augustine, Francis, Domi∣nick,
&c. as the Nazarites were wont to
vow themselues to God. Numb. 6.
Other things; as Oblations, and Pilgrimages,
&c.
