If M. Harding will Reply▪ that this Counsel may take place in all others, but not in them, that have Vowed, or Promised the contrary, let him understand his own rule,1 written in the Popes own Decrees: In malis promissis rescind fidem: In turpi Voto muta decretum. Quod incautè vovisti, ne facias. Impia est Promissio, quae sc•lere impletur: In an evil promise break thy Faith: In an unhonest Vow change thy purpose. That thou haste unadvisedly vowed, see thou do it not. It is an evil promise, that is kept with wickedness.
