Sal.

It is great sinne, to sweare vnto a sinne:

But greater sinne to keepe a sinfull oath:

Who can be bound by any solemne Vow

To do a murd'rous deede, to rob a man,

To force a spotlesse Virgins Chastitie,

To reaue the Orphan of his Patrimonie,

To wring the Widdow from her custom'd right,

And haue no other reason for this wrong,

But that he was bound by a solemne Oath?
