4 There be two main ends of a vow.1 One to prevent or redress some sin (as for a man which is of a flexible disposition, and much drawn away by vain company to vow against such and such company: or for a man that hath a light brain, and is soon made drunken with strong beer and wine, to vow against these.) The other to hold a man close to some duty; as to vow every day to read so much, or so much of the Scripture, morning and evening to pray, to sanctify the Sabbath, &c.
