Breaking those Oaths made by the Creatures as not binding and valid. For although Christ prohibit Swearing by the Creatures, yet he ever enjoyns performances agreable to such Oaths, because of the Creatures relation to God, whom he will make instruments of vengeance to fulfill his Will, and execute his pleasure against false and vain Swearers. 7. Presumptuous, proud, daring and unadvisable adjuration, cursings and execrations, when men prophanely curse themselves or others (as God refuse me, God damn us, or them) in the Name of the true God, or by false Gods, whose Names we ought not to take up into our mouths. 8. B’asphemy and reproach of the sacred Name of God, and of those that bear his Name, or stand in any special relation to him. 9.
