But here only unlawful swearing is condemned, which sin is diversly committed: as first in regard of the object, 1when men swear by any thing besides the Lord alone. Secondly, in respect of the manner, when as they do not swear in truth, justice and judgement. Thirdly, in respect 2of the end, when as in their oaths, they do not chiefly aim at Gods glory▪ or their own or their neighbours good: which sin they commit who swear rashly, ordinarily, and in their ⟨p. 79⟩rage and fury. But of this argument I purpose to speak more largely else where, & therefore I will here pass it over.
