the soldier is dischardged. ffor every promise and othe is
to be intended of things standinge in that estate they were
when the othe or promise was made. The decretall saith
that yf I promise to marrie a woman, & after she hap:
neth to lose an eye, in this case I am not bounde to marrie
her. Also Seneca in his books d’alli beneficij saithe that
whensoever a man maketh a promise there ought no newer
thinge to happen before the perfourmaunce wch maye occasion
the promyser not to doe it. And therfore in respect of
the offence newlie committed in the case abouesaid he
may be iustlie reproved & refuzed.
