Swear — This is put here for the whole worship of God, acknowledging an& owning God as the only God; which is strongly exprest by this act. In truth — That the matter and substance of it be true. In judgment — Deliberately, advisedly, and reverently. In righteousness — That none be injured by it, that the things we engage be both lawful and possible, and that we look to the performance. The nations — This shall be a means to work upon the Heathen nations, to come into the same way of worship. They shall think themselves happy to be incorporated with thee, that it may be with them according to that promise, Genesis 12:3. Glory — Whereas before they gloried in their idols, they shall glory in God alone.
