- 1Directions for making vows.
1 The person who maketh a vow,1 must be both of understanding, and also of power to make it. In vowing we have to do with God, who must not be dallied withal, nor mocked. They who deal with him must well conceive what they do; (wherefore Idiots, children, frenzy persons, and such like, are not fit to vow) they must also have an ability to perform what they vow (wherefore such as are under the authority and command of others may not vow, in such cases wherein their Governors may cross their vow.)
