whether_o great_a less_o or_o equivalent_a seem_v in_o some_o respect_n to_o be_v more_o convenient_a and_o commutation_n differ_v from_o dispensation_n as_o a_o species_n from_o the_o genus_fw-la or_o part_n from_o the_o whole_a for_o if_o a_o bond_n can_v be_v loose_v either_o by_o the_o one_o or_o other_o it_o will_v be_v whole_o unbound_v by_o dispensation_n by_o commutation_n in_o part_n only_o the_o doctrine_n of_o cafuist_n concern_v commutation_n amount_v to_o this_o sum_n first_o that_o a_o private_a man_n of_o his_o own_o authority_n without_o his_o superior_n dispensation_n may_v commute_v a_o vow_n or_o oath_n into_o that_o which_o be_v evident_o better_a which_o they_o confirm_v by_o god_n example_n who_o do_v not_o always_o fulfil_v his_o temporal_a promise_n to_o

without_o his_o own_o consent_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v take_v away_o for_o the_o example_n of_o god_n it_o suit_v not_o because_o his_o promise_n as_o they_o be_v all_o of_o free_a bounty_n so_o

unto_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o this_o alteration_n injurious_a unto_o a_o three_o person_n but_o in_o a_o oath_n which_o be_v make_v unto_o man_n injury_n may_v be_v do_v he_o if_o it_o

the_o bond_n of_o a_o oath_n can_v be_v loose_v nor_o the_o obligation_n take_v away_o by_o either_o of_o these_o invention_n sect_n vi_o but_o it_o seem_v it_o may_v by_o the_o three_o way_n remain_v

whereby_o of_o his_o authority_n he_o render_v a_o oath_n make_v by_o his_o subject_n without_o his_o consent_n null_n and_o void_a for_o that_o legitimate_a superior_n may_v rescinde_v vow_n and_o

the_o reason_n be_v that_o he_o who_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o another_o be_v not_o in_o his_o own_o nor_o can_v oblige_v himself_o in_o thing_n wherein_o he_o be_v subject_a without_o leave_n

to_o promise_v any_o of_o those_o thing_n wherein_o he_o be_v subject_a unto_o another_o without_o the_o consent_n of_o his_o superior_a at_o the_o least_o presume_v second_o that_o if_o he_o have_v

three_o that_o the_o superior_a if_o he_o have_v by_o express_a consent_n whether_o before_o or_o after_o once_o ratify_v the_o promise_n of_o his_o subject_n can_v make_v the_o same_o afterward_o
