The plain mans path-way to heaven

Phil. Questionless this vice of swearing is, of all other sins, most rife in this Land. For you shall have little boys and children in the streets rap out oaths in most fearful manner. It would make a mans heart quake to hear them. We may think, they have sucked them out of there mothers breasts: but sure we are, they have learned them from the evil example of their parents. And now adays we cannot almost talk with a man, but (in ordinary speech) he will belch out one oath or another.

Theol. I will tell you a strange thing, and with great grief I speak it; I do verily think there are sworn in this Land an hundred thousand oaths every day in the year.

Phil. No doubt, Sir, you are within compass. For now almost so many men so many oaths; excepting some few in comparison, Nay, I know divers, of mine own experience, which if they may be kept in talk, will swear every day in the year an hundred oaths for their parts.
