SWEARING


IL there be . vice under the sun re.
prehensible, IL is that Of prUfane swear
ing; and he who does il, little suspects
that those who hear him converse, 60
lar fron sanetioDiog his vuIesrity,
would rather have his room than his
company. will extract . paraersp on
from Buck. TO show, in forcible ian.
guage, that the practice Of swearing il
not only sinful but ungenteel
curs'ng and swc li'ing Is an offence against
God and religion, and sin Of all others the
most exIraVagant and unaecountable, as hay-
ing no benefit or advantage attending il. II
Is contempt OF God; violation OF his law /;
n great breach OF good behaviour; and mark
OF ievity, Weakness, and wickedness. How
those who live in the habitual practice of Il
can call themselves men of sense. OF eharac-
ter, or of decency, know not. By the last
statute against this crime, 10 George n.
which repeats all former ones, every labourer.
sailor, or soldier. profaneiy cursing or swear
ing, shall forfeit Que shilling; every other
person, under the rank of gentleman. two

ble--and, for every subsequent offence. ire
DIE, the sum FIRST forfeited. with all charges

shall be sent TO the house Of eorrectsoa for

Thus we see, that the rich were
more severely punished for swearing
