OF SWEARING.

THOV shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vaine,* 1.1 for the Lord will not hold him giltles, that taketh his name in vaine.

Also, ye shall not sweare by my name falsely,* 1.2 neither shalt thou defile the name of thy God: I am the Lord.

Let none of you imagine euyll in your hartes a∣gainst his neighbour, and loue no false oth:* 1.3 for all these are the thinges that I hate, sayth the Lord.

* 1.4In whose eyes a vile person is contemned: but he honoureth them that feareth the Lord. He that sweareth to his owne hinderaunce, and changeth not.

* 1.5Though they say, The Lord liueth, yet doe they sweare falsely.

* 1.6A man that vseth much Swearing, shalbe filled with wickednes, and the plague shal neuer go from his house: when he shall offende, his fault shalbe vpon him; and yf he knowledge not his sinne, he maketh a double offence: and yf he sweare in vayne, he shall not be innocent, but his house shall be full of plagues.
