A Vow, which is not to be made to any Creature, but to God alone, is to be made and performed with all religious Care and faithfulness: But Popish Monastical Vows,a of perpetual single Life, professedb Poverty, and regular Obedience, are so far from being degrees of higher perfection, that they are superstitious,c and sinful snares, in which no Christian may intangle himself.d
