How many ways fail men against this?
How many waies faile men against this?
Two ways: first, in vowing that we are not able to perform: secondly, in vowing that which otherwise we are bound by the law of God to do.
Two waies: first, in vowing that wee are not able to performe: secondly, in vowing that which otherwise we are bound by the law of God to do.
Who be they which vow that they cannot perform?
Who be they which vow that they cannot performe?
They are they either whom strength doth fail, through the common frailty of all men;1 as those that vow perpetual continency, whose lets come from themselves: Or they which cannot perform it, by reason of subjection unto others: as wives unto their husbands; children to their parents; servants to their masters, &c. in whose power they are, to perform their vows, or not to perform them.
