WCF 22.4

An oath is to be taken in the plain and common sense of the words, without equivocation or mental reservation.1 It cannot oblige to sin; but in anything not sinful, being taken, it binds to performance, although to a man’s own hurt:2 nor is it to be violated, although made to heretics or infidels.3
