The confession of faith

Chapter 217

V. ^ Isa. xix. 21. And the Lord

shall be known to Egypt, and the £^'ntiuns shall know the Lord in that day, and shall do sacinfice and oblation, yea, they shall vow a \ ^w^ unto the Lord, and perform It. Eccl. v. 4. When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it : for he hath no pleasure in fools ; pay that which thou hast vowed. Ver. 5. Better is it that thou should, est not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. Ver. 6. Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin, neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error : where- fore ehould God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands ? Psal. Ixi. 8. So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. Psal. Ixvi. 1 3. I will go into thy house with burnt-offerings : I will pay thee my vows, Ver. 14. Which my lips have uttered, and my mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
