1Whether the matter may be passed by Verily or Truly: for then by the example of Christ we must spare the oath. Fourthly, whether he for whose cause we give the oath, will rest in it, and give credit unto it: for otherwise the name of God is taken in vain. Fifthly, if an oath be given, we must use no other then Gods word alloweth: although in receiving an oath of another which is an Infidel, a man may receive it from an Idolater swearing by his false gods.
