WCF 22.4 — Of Lawful Oaths and Vows

CON confession-article · status:draft · license:PD

Article

An oath is to be taken in the plain and common sense of the words, without equivocation, or mental reservation. It cannot oblige to sin; but in anything not sinful, being taken, it binds to performance, although to a man’s own hurt. Nor is it to be violated, although made to heretics, or infidels.
