MAX. 23.

A Vow, a Promise, and a Resolution, have all one Ob∣ject, only differ in respect of the Persons to whom they are made; the first is between God and Man; the second between Man and Man; the third be∣tween Man and his own Soul; they all bind, if the Object be lawful, to necessity of Perfor∣mance; if unlawful, to the ne∣cessity of Sin: They all take thee Prisoner; if the Object be lawful, thy Performance hath redeemed thee; if unlawful, Blood and Fears must ransom thee.
