1Lastly were objected oaths & laws of nature wherewith citizens are bound to defend their country. Of which I answer, that all these are so far forth to be observed, as long as the oaths and promises be not against the word of god and good laws. Which thing if it be afterward known, then are they of no force, yea they are then utterly void. To these I add, that it manifestly appeareth by the cautions now alleged, that we must neither for swear nor lye, whereby a laudable & good proditiō should succeed. Wherefore they which swear unto their magistrates,2 & promise to defend the city, can not be excused, when their mind is to betray & to deceive. This have the Antichrists done in the counsel holden at Constantia. For that they might thē easier allure thither John Huss, & Jerome of Praga, they promised him safety by public faith. And therefore they can not defend their prodition (admit it were nothing else) as just and honest. But they were without doubt treacherers and wicked betrayers in swearing & promising that by their letters which they would not perform.

This haue the Antichrists done in ye counsel holden at Constantia. For yt they might thē eassier allure thither Iohn Husse, & Ierome of Praga, they promised him safety by publique fayth. And therefore they can not defend their prodition (admitte it were nothyng els) as iust and honest. But they were without doubt treacherers and wicked betrayers in swearyng & promysing that by their letters whiche they would not performe.
