They abuse the name of God / that perform not the thing they promise / in God's name / by any oath / or vow / made according to the law of God / whether it be between man and God / as in the holy Sacrament of Baptism / and the holy super of the lord / where as we swear / and promise to live after his will and pleasure. Or when man / to man bindeth him self / to any conditions / or promises by the invocation of God's name / or testimony of his own conscience. If the one keep not touch and promise with the other: he that offendeth / abuseth not only his own faith / which should be always simple / and true: but also contemneth the Majesty / and omnipotency of God / in whose name / the oath was taken. And not only the law of God But also the law of man / punisheth this horrible perjury / as ye may read / Levit. 24. How he that toke the name of God in vain / was stoned to death: so saith David / Psalm. 5. So saith this Commandment / God will not leave him unpunished / that Nameth him in vain. Examples we have in Ananias / and his wife / Acto. 5. The children of Israel were slain for perjury / Esa. 10. The emperor Just. Novellis constitut. 77. commandeth to put to death the blasphemers.
