What things are ok to take an oath about?

WCF 22.4.

An oath is to be taken in the plain and common sense of the words, without equivocation, or mental reservation. (Jer. 4:2, Ps. 24:4) It cannot oblige to sin; but in any thing not sinful, being taken, it binds to performance, although to a man’s own hurt. (1 Sam. 25:22, 32–34, Ps. 15:4) Nor is it to be violated, although made to heretics, or infidels. (Ezek. 17:16, 18–19, Josh. 9:18–19, 2 Sam. 21:1)
