First sentence: BY the term oath, taken in its largest sense, is universally understood a ceremony composed of words and gestures, by means of which the Almighty is engaged eventually to inflict on the taker of the oath, or swearer as he is called, punishment, in quantity and quality, liquidated, or more commonly unliquidated, in the event of his doing something, which he, the swearer, at the same time and thereby engages not to do, or omitting to do something which he in like manner engages to do.
