dec._n 20._o 1650._o the_o case_n of_o a_o rash_a vow_v deliberate_o iterate_v the_o case_n a_o gentleman_n of_o good_a estate_n have_v issue_n one_o only_a daughter_n who_o place_v her_o affection_n upon_o a_o person_n much_o below_o her_o rank_n intend_v marriage_n with_o he_o the_o father_n hear_v of_o it_o in_o great_a displeasure_n vow_v and_o confirm_v it_o with_o a_o oath_n that_o if_o she_o marry_v he_o he_o will_v never_o give_v she_o a_o farthing_n of_o his_o estate_n the_o daughter_n notwithstanding_o marry_v he_o after_o which_o the_o father_n sundry_a time_n iterate_v and_o renew_v his_o say_a former_a vow_n and_o that_o in_o a_o serious_a and_o deliberate_a manner_n add_v further_o that_o he_o will_v never_o give_v she_o or_o any_o of_o she_o any_o part_n of_o his_o

vow_n be_v rash_a and_o be_v not_o at_o all_o obligatory_a 1._o the_o question_n here_o propose_v be_v concern_v the_o obligation_n only_o yet_o i_o deem_v it_o expedient_a to_o declare_v my_o opinion_n concern_v the_o rashness_n also_o and_o that_o for_o two_o reason_n first_o because_o there_o seem_v in_o the_o proposal_n of_o the_o case_n to_o be_v some_o weight_n lay_v upon_o the_o after_o iteration_n which_o be_v more_o deliberate_a as_o if_o they_o add_v to_o the_o obligation_n and_o second_o because_o i_o think_v it_o needful_a that_o the_o vower_n shall_v as_o well_o be_v convince_v of_o the_o greatness_n of_o his_o sin_n in_o make_v such_o a_o vow_n for_o the_o time_n past_a as_o satisfy_v concern_v the_o present_a and_o future_a invalidity_n of_o it_o 2._o it_o be_v easy_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o gentleman_n when_o he_o first_o make_v the_o vow_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o very_a great_a indignation_n against_o his_o daughter_n for_o her_o high_a and_o inexcusable_a disobedience_n to_o he_o in_o so_o very_o weighty_a a_o business_n and_o true_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v he_o have_v need_n to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o a_o very_a rare_a command_n over_o his_o own_o spirit_n and_o such_o as_o be_v scarce_o to_o be_v find_v one_o of_o a_o thousand_o that_o can_v so_o contain_v himself_o within_o the_o bound_n of_o reason_n upon_o so_o just_a a_o provocation_n from_o a_o only_a child_n possible_o some_o other_o aggravate_v circumstance_n concur_v as_o not_o to_o be_v transport_v with_o the_o violence_n of_o that_o passion_n into_o some_o thought_n and_o resolution_n not_o exact_o agreeable_a with_o the_o dictate_v of_o right_a reason_n it_o can_v therefore_o be_v little_o doubt_v but_o the_o vow_n make_v whilst_o the_o reason_n be_v hold_v under_o the_o force_n of_o so_o strong_a a_o perturbation_n be_v a_o rash_a and_o irrational_a vow_n 3._o nor_o will_v these_o after-act_n in_o confirmation_n of_o the_o first_o vow_n though_o have_v more_o of_o deliberation_n in_o they_o be_v sufficient_a to_o redeem_v either_o it_o or_o themselves_o from_o the_o imputation_n of_o rashness_n understanding_n rashness_n in_o that_o latitude_n as_o the_o casuist_n do_v when_o they_o treat_v de_fw-fr voto_fw-la temerario_fw-la under_o the_o notion_n whereof_o they_o comprehend_v all_o such_o vow_n as_o happen_v per_fw-la defectum_fw-la plenae_fw-la &_o dis●ussae_fw-la deliberationi_fw-la as_o they_o express_v it_o for_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o when_o a_o injury_n disobedience_n or_o other_o affront_n be_v strong_o resent_v it_o many_o time_n take_v a_o very_a deep_a impression_n in_o the_o soul_n which_o though_o after_o the_o first_o impetus_fw-la have_v a_o little_a spend_v itself_o it_o begin_v somewhat_o to_o abate_v yet_o it_o do_v so_o by_o such_o slow_a and_o insensible_a degree_n that_o the_o same_o perturbation_n which_o first_o discompose_v the_o mind_n may_v have_v a_o strong_a influence_n into_o all_o succeed_a deliberation_n for_o a_o long_a time_n after_o even_o as_o after_o a_o acute_a fever_n when_o the_o sharp_a paroxysme_n be_v over_o and_o the_o malignity_n of_o the_o disease_n well_o spend_v although_o the_o party_n begin_v to_o recover_v some_o degree_n of_o strength_n yet_o there_o may_v remain_v for_o a_o good_a while_n after_o such_o a_o debility_n in_o the_o party_n as_o that_o they_o can_v exercise_v their_o proper_a function_n but_o with_o some_o weakness_n more_o or_o less_o till_o the_o party_n be_v perfect_o recover_v sith_o therefore_o the_o after-iteration_n of_o the_o first_o vow_n in_o the_o present_a case_n do_v proceed_v apparent_o from_o the_o rancour_n and_o malignity_n remain_v in_o the_o mind_n as_o the_o dregs_o and_o relic_n of_o the_o same_o perturbation_n from_o which_o the_o first_o vow_n also_o proceed_v they_o must_v upon_o the_o same_o account_n to_o wit_n per_fw-la defectum_fw-la plenae_fw-la deliberationis_fw-la undergo_v the_o same_o censure_n of_o rashness_n with_o the_o first_o vow_n the_o same_o i_o say_v for_o the_o kind_n some_o difference_n i_o grant_v there_o be_v for_o the_o degree_n but_o magis_fw-la &_o minus_n non_fw-fr variant_n speciem_fw-la we_o know_v and_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o difference_n be_v only_o thus_o far_o useful_a in_o the_o present_a case_n that_o the_o more_o deliberate_a those_o after-act_n be_v the_o more_o culpable_a they_o be_v and_o the_o less_o capable_a either_o of_o excuse_n or_o extenuation_n and_o consequent_o do_v oblige_v the_o party_n to_o so_o much_o the_o more_o serious_a solemn_a and_o last_a repentance_n 4._o but_o concern_v rash_a vow_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o knot_n of_o the_o question_n lie_v not_o there_o it_o shall_v suffice_v to_o note_v these_o few_o point_n first_o that_o every_o rash_a vow_n be_v a_o sin_n and_o that_o upon_o its_o own_o score_n and_o precise_o as_o it_o be_v rash_a although_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v any_o other_o way_n peccant_a all_o act_n of_o religious_a worship_n by_o the_o importance_n of_o the_o three_o commandment_n be_v to_o be_v perform_v with_o all_o due_a sobriety_n attention_n and_o advisedness_n how_o much_o more_o than_o a_o vow_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o high_a act_n of_o worship_n as_o be_v a_o sacred_a contract_n whereunto_o god_n himself_o be_v a_o party_n see_v eccl._n 5._o 1_o etc._n etc._n second_o that_o rash_a vow_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n beside_o the_o rashness_n peccant_a in_o their_o matter_n also_o for_o they_o be_v common_o make_v in_o passion_n and_o all_o passion_n be_v evil_a counsellor_n and_o anger_n as_o bad_a as_o the_o worst_a the_o wrath_n of_o man_n seldom_o work_v the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n three_o that_o a_o rash_a vow_n though_o to_o be_v repent_v of_o for_o the_o rashness_n may_v yet_o in_o some_o case_n bind_v as_o for_o example_n a_o man_n find_v himself_o ill_o use_v by_o a_o shopkeeper_n of_o who_o he_o have_v former_o be_v accustom_v to_o buy_v vow_v in_o a_o rage_n that_o he_o will_v never_o buy_v of_o he_o again_o this_o be_v a_o rash_a vow_n yet_o it_o bind_v because_o if_o the_o party_n have_v never_o make_v any_o such_o vow_n at_o all_o it_o have_v neither_o be_v unjust_a or_o uncharitable_a nor_o so_o much_o as_o imprudent_a in_o he_o for_o to_o have_v do_v the_o same_o thing_n which_o by_o his_o vow_n he_o have_v now_o bind_v himself_o to_o do_v so_o if_o a_o man_n impatient_a of_o his_o ill_a luck_n at_o card_n shall_v vow_v in_o a_o heat_n never_o to_o play_v at_o card_n any_o more_o he_o be_v in_o this_o case_n also_o bind_v to_o keep_v his_o vow_n because_o there_o neither_o be_v any_o sin_n in_o keep_v it_o nor_o can_v be_v any_o great_a necessity_n why_o he_o shall_v break_v it_o that_o therefore_o four_o if_o at_o any_o time_n a_o rash_a vow_n bind_v not_o the_o invalidity_n thereof_o proceed_v not_o mere_o nor_o indeed_o at_o all_o from_o the_o rashness_n which_o yet_o be_v a_o very_a common_a error_n among_o man_n but_o from_o the_o faultiness_n of_o it_o otherwise_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o matter_n or_o thing_n vow_v to_o be_v do_v when_o that_o which_o be_v so_o vow_v be_v either_o so_o evil_a in_o itself_o or_o by_o reason_n of_o circumstance_n become_v so_o evil_a that_o it_o can_v be_v perform_v without_o
