There are some things near of kin unto (to say so) and of affinity with Oaths; as 1. Adjurations, when we adjure or charge one by the Name of God to do or forbear such a thing; as Saul bound the people with a Curse, 1 Sam. 14. And Joshua charged Achan, Josh. 7. and the High-Priest Christ, Matth. 26. and Paul Tim thy, 1 Tim. 5.21. & 6.13.

Adjurations differ thus from Oaths, that by an Oath we bind our selves to do or forbear somewhat, or to tell truth; by Adjurations we bind others by interposing the Name of God for commanding, charging, persuading to do or forbear such a thing, and implying, if not expressing some threatening or curse if it be not done or forborne: There are three sorts of these in Scripture, 1. When men adjure men. 2. When they adjure Devils. 3. When they adjure unreasonable Creatures, as Serpents, &c. To each of these, a word.
