Before all things ? Before all things watch, before all things give earnest heed. Ix. 10. I myself too once swore on every' occasion, I once ' passim i^jj^j i^ijjg most offensive and deadly habit. I tell you, Beloved, from the time that I began to serve God, and saw how great a wickedness there is in false swearing, I have feared ex- sveter- ceedingly, and in fear have bridled this most inveterate^ nosis- simam ^^^-bit. Being bridled, it is checked, checked it languishes, languishing it dies en...tirely, and to the evil habit a good succeeds. But now I do not tell you, that I never swear. For if I say this, I lie. As to my concern herein, I do swear; but to the best of my belief, only when compelled by great necessity. When I see that I am not believed unless I do it, and that it is not for his good who does not believe me, that he does not believe, having thoroughly weighed the reason and balanced the consideration, I do with great fear say, " Before God;" or, " God is my witness;" or, " Christ knows that so it is in my heart;" and I see that this is more, that is, is over and above, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but that which is over and above is of evil; and if not of the evil of him who swears, it is of the evil of him that does not believe.
