An invective against the most wicked [and] detestable vice of swearing, newly co[m]piledAn inuectyue agenst the moost wicked [and] detestable vyce of swearing, newly co[m]piled

Gods word declareth them to be the most grievous enemies of god, of his most blessed name, of Jesus Christ his Son, and of his most bitter passion. Gods word uttereth them to be the children of wrath, fire brands of hell, captives of Satan, and right heirs of eternal damnation. Gods word showeth manifestly, y• they have in no part y• celestial heritage, but are already judged ⟨image 28⟩to hell fire, if they do not in this life repent, bewail their wretchedness, confess their abomination desire mercy, and believe faithfully to have forgiveness. For heaven and earth shall pass away, but y• word of the Lord abideth for ever.¹ Therefore this commination and threat, which accompanieth the commandment, must needs be true, & come to pass. The Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

For heauē and earth shall passe awaye, but y• worde of the Lorde abydeth for euer.¹ Therfore this comminacion and threate, which accompanieth the commaundement, must nedes be true, & come to passe. The Lorde wyll not holde hym gyltelesse that taketh hys name in vayne.
