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 of perpetual single life, professed poverty, and regular obedience, are so far from being degrees of higher perfection, that they are superstitious and sinful snares, in which no Christian may entangle himself.
5. Ang pananata ay tanging sa Diyos lamang at hindi sa karaniwang nilikha.(6) Minsang magawa ang mga ito, dapat itong ganapin ng buong ingat at katapatan.(7) Datapuwa't ang mga panatang pang-monghe ng pananatili sa buhay na walang asawa,(8) pagpapakadukha,(9) at walang pasubaling pagsunod na ukol sa Iglesiang Romano ay hindi naglalarawan ng higit na kabanalan.
