Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dissertation on Oaths "An oath," says Cruden, "is a solemn action, whereby we call upon God, the searcher of hearts, to witness the truth of what we affirm for the ending of strifes and controversies." Concordance, word Oath. "An oath," says Milton, "is that whereby we call God to witness the truth of what we say, with a curse upon ourselves, either implied or expressed, should it prove false." Christian Doctrine, p. 579. "Whatever be the form of an oath," says Paley, "the signification is the same: it is the calling of God to witness, that is, to take notice of what we say, and invoking his vengeance or renouncing his favour in case what we say be false, or what we promise be not performed." Moral and Political Philosophy, chap. 16. It is laid down by legal authorities that, "what is universally understood by an oath, is, that the person who takes it imprecates the vengeance of God upon him, if the oath he takes is false." Vide Atkyn´s Chancery Reports, vol. 1, p. 19. Without further inquiry, it must be obvious that there are very serious objections to the customary use of oaths.
