Neither suffered be the Gibeonites to be slain, whom for all that he punished because of the guile which they used.1 But if the oath be given for an unjust or ungodly thing, it is utterly to be made frustrate, because an oath ought not to be a bond of iniquity. Neither is it of necessity, that a man to be absolved of these kinds oaths should come before some judge. Which I therefore speak, because the Pope claimeth this right unto himself, namely to release a bond in such kind of oaths, & as they commonly say, to dispense with them, as it appeareth in the 15. question the 6.2 where Nicholaus absolveth one Treverensis. And his pride & arrogancy hath so far now at the length extended his right or power, that he absolveth not only unlawful oaths, but he abrogateth also just and lawful oaths when it seemeth good unto himself. So Zechariah loosed the french men of an oath, wherein they were bound unto their king, and he put the king from his kingdom, and substituted Pepin in his place.

And his pride & arrogācy hath so farre now at the length extended his ryght or power, that he absolueth not onely vnlawful othes, but he abrogateth also iust and lawful othes when it semeth good vnto himselfe. So Zacharias losed the frenche men of an othe, wherein they were bound vnto their kyng, and he put the kyng from his kyngdome, and substituted Peppine in his place. But that is not to be meruayled at, when as it is a common saying in the courte of Rome at this daye:
