Likewise Thomas of Aquine saithe, 1Potest contingere, quòd in aliquo casu sit, vel simpliciter malum, vel inutile, vel Maioris boni impeditivum. Et ideo necesse est, quòd determinetur, in tali casu, Votum non esse seruandum: It may happen, that in some case a Vow may be, either utterly il, or unprofitable, or an hinderance unto some other good thing of more weight. And therefore it must of necessity be determined, that in such a case a Vow ought not to be kept. Therefore it was thus decreed in the Council of Toledo: 2Non est seruandum Sacramentum, quod malè, & incautè promittitur: A Vow il, and unadvisedly promised, ought not to be kept.

Here, M. Harding, ye cry out in your inordinate heat, Fleshly Gospellers: Evangelical Vowebreakers: Impure Bigamy: Filthy railing rabble: Lordaines: Strumpets: & I wot not, what: as if this were the only way, to win the Victory. Unto this kind of eloquence I will make you none other answer, then that Demetrius sometime made unto Lysimachus: Scortum apud nos modestiùs vivit, quàm apud vos Penelope: One of these, whom it liketh you, to call Strumpets, liveth more soberly amongst us, then doth amongst you your Chaste Penelope.
