THE ARGVMENT.

Of a lawfull and vnlawfull oath: of the first, for the Anabaptistes: of the latter, for the popish sort.

But may any man lawfullie & in a godly sort, sweare by the name of God?

He may: When either the Magistrate requireth it of his subiectes, or necessitie requireth, that by this meanes faith be assured, and trueth established: to the end that the glorie of God may be set foorth, and the saluation of other men furthered. For this kind of oath is cōfirmed by the word of God, & therefore hath bene rightlie vseda by holy men, both in the olde and new testament.b
