Perjurie.
From Divinity and Morality in Robes of Poetry ([1660?])
Social Commentaries
THou shalt not make thy Makers name to be
A Covenant to cover falsitie.
When thou wouldst vow a vow to God, first weigh it,
Then (though it be unto thy loss) obey it.
Good Zechariah (in the flying Roll)
Saw that the perjur'd Man would lose his soule.
