It is the reproach of Rome; No peny, no Pater noster: let it not be our reproach and reproof too; No plague, no Pater-noster; no punishments, no prayers. Thy vows ⟨p. 223⟩are Gods debts, and Gods debts must be paid. He vvill not (as men do desperate debtors) dismiss thee on a slight composition. No; nJustè exigitur ad soluendum, qui non cogitur ad vovendum. He is justly required to pay, that was not compelled to vow. oNon talis eris, si non feceris quod vovisti, qualis mansisti, si nihil tale vovisses: Minor enim tunc esses, non peior. Thou remainest not the same having vowed, and not performed; as thou hadst been, hadst thou not vowed. Thou hadst then been less, thou art now worse.
