L. I deny the Miror. M Thar which amanVowing to avoid it is not by that Vow bound to avoid, is no fin : But Schifm (and fo Prophanenefs, andPopery) is that which a man vowing to avoid it, is not bound by that Vow to a- void ; Ergo Schifm is no :Tin. L. I deny both Major and Minor and f=ft the Major. M AVow to avoid fin alwaies bindeth. Ergo that is no fin which a man vowing to avoid is not thereby bound to avoid : eft 6" non eft are contradictoryTerms. L.

If the Vowagainft Schifm and Prophanenefshave all efl'ential to a Vow and yet bind not, thenno Vow bindeth qua tabs as a Vow. And ifVows bind only by,accident,or by fotnething elfe that's an adjunct, that's nothing for their own effential obli- gation. And fo much of the Corporation-Decîaratiot,
