Annotation CCIV, On the Oath (Psalm 118:106)

“I have sworn, and I have determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.”

Annotatio CCIV

”I have sworn, and I have determined to keep the judgments of thy justice.” — Psalm 118:106

The commentaries of Ambrose seem here to contain a certain opinion which would forbid to Christians every kind of oath — even a just one, and in just causes.1 Consult Annotation 26 of book 6.
