You solemnly swear (affirm) that you will do no falsehood, nor consent that any be

of the court or some of them, that it may be reformed; that you will not wittingly,
willingly, or knowingly promote, sue, or procure to be sued, any false or unlawful
suit, or give aid or consent to the same; that you will delay no person for lucre
