VI. Oaths which cannot be kept without breach of Gods law, ought not to be kept: though some such oaths are in themselves not unjust.

VI. Oathes which cannot be kept vvithout breach of Gods law, ought not to be kept: though some such oathes are in themselus not vniust.

This also we add, that all such oaths, as cannot be kept without breach of gods commandment, ¹though they are in themselves not unjust, yet are not to be kept. And therefore (for example sake) they which by oath promise perpetual single life, which afterwards they cannot keep without manifest breach of Gods law: we judge that such ought by no means to keep their oath.

This also wee adde, that all such oathes, as cannot be kept without breach of gods commaundement, ¹though they are in themselues not vniust, yet are not to bee kept. And therefore (for example sake) they which by oath promise perpetuall single life, which afterwards they cannot keepe without manifest breach of Gods law: we iudge that such ought by no meanes to keep their oath.
