Isaac Penington preaches about the controversy of whether it is lawful for Christians to swear under the gospel, examining the nature, purpose, and cases of oaths under the law. He emphasizes that the use of oaths was for fallen man erred from the truth and covenant of God, and that Christ, as the truth and substance, brings confession of truth instead of swearing. Penington urges Christians to hold fast to the principle of truth and simplicity of the gospel, avoiding the undervaluing of their faith by engaging in practices that are no longer necessary or lawful under the new covenant.
