Let christen kings therefore keep 1their faith and truth, and all lawful promises and bonds, not one with an other only, but even with the Turk or whatsoever infidel it be. For so it is right before God, as the scriptures and examples of the Bible testify. Whosoever 2voweth an unlawful vow, promiseth an unlawful promise, sweareth an unlawful oath, sinneth against God, and ought therefore to break it. He needeth not to sue to Rome for a licence. For he hath Gods word, & not a licence only: but also a commandment to break it. They therefore y• are sworn to be true unto Cardinals & Bishops, that is to say, false unto God, the king, and the realm, may break their oaths lawfully without grudge of conscience by the authority of Gods word. In making them they sinned, but in repē ting and breaking them they please God highly, and receive forgiveness in Christ.

In makyng them they sinned, but in repē tyng and breakyng them they please God hyghly, and receaue forgeuenes in Christ.
