This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Our life for yours; we pawn and will venture our lives for the security of yours. Or, may we perish, if’ you be not preserved.
This our business, i.e. this agreement of ours, and the way and condition of it, test others under this pretence secure themselves. By which they show both their piety and prudence in managing their oath with so much circumspection and caution, that neither their own consciences might be insnared, nor the public justice obstructed.
