The Name of God only is that by which Men ought to swear, and there∣in it is to be used with all holy Fear and Reverence: Therefore to swear vainly, or rashly, by that glorious or dreadful Name, or to swear at all by any other thing, is sinful and to be ab∣horred; yet as in matters of weight and moment an Oath is warranted by
the Word of God under the New Te∣stament, as well as under the Old; so a lawful Oath, being imposed by law∣ful Authority in such matters, ought to be taken.
