As we confesse that vayne and rashe swearing is forbidden Christian men by our lord Iesus Christe, and Iames his Apostle: So we iudge that Christian religion doth not prohibite, but that a man may sweare when the Magistrate requireth, in a cause of faith and charitie, so it be done accordyng to the prophetes teaching, in iustice, iudgement, and trueth.
