To utter what? The fourth Verse is expresse, When thou makest a Vow unto God, &c.
So that it is clear, the purpose of the Holy Ghost in that placers, as in all our holy services; so especially in this of Vows, to ca•tion all the people of God, when they draw near to utter their vows unto the Lord, to manage it with the greatest deliberation, and solidness of judgement that is possible; to sit down and consider with our selves before hand, With whom we have to deal? What we have to do? Upon what warrant? By what Rule? To what end?

The lame and the blind, 1Gods soul hates for a Sacrifice, the ⟨p. 69⟩lame affections, and the blind ignorant Judgement. And well he may; for certainly, they that do not swear in Judgement, will not, cannot swear in Righteousness; They that do not make their vows in Judgement will not, cannot pay or perform them in Righteousness. He that swears he knows not what, will observe he cares not how. Incogitant making, will end in unconscionable breaking of Covenant; and if need be in a cursed abjuration of it; for rash swearing, is a precipice to forswearing.
