Plea for Peace. p. 213.
It is not in the Subjects power, by Vows to withdraw themselves from obedience to Authority.
Directory, Sect. 43. A Vow is as null, says Mr. Baxter, when the matter is morally or civilly out of our power; as if a Child or Servant vow a thing which he cannot do lawfully without the consent of Parent or Master, though the thing it self be lawful: For God having bound me to obey my Superiors in all lawful things, I cannot oblige my self by my own Vows. Sect. 79. of his Directory.
