they might bee coveted and desyred of young men, as indeede Dina was
by Sichem. And in this our tyme and age, do not men daily see many
such thinges, which daunses bring with them: The example by mee
heretofore brought forth and alleged, ought to serue for an example to
all great lords, to withdraw their daughters from such baites. But
setting all the rest aside, do wee not see that duncing hath cost,
this holy man, and great prophet of God so deare, that it hath taken
away from him the head from aboue his shoulders.

By the way or meane of daunsing, the children of Israell, were willing
to geue honour to an ydole, to a calfe of Gold, to a dead thing, and
which they themselues had molten & framed after the imitation & manner
of Pagans, which in such a sort & fashion serued their gods. Bee not
these things sufficient to make a man flie daunses, & to prouoke a
christian man to haue them in abomination, & to abhore them as things
which haue ordinarilye, and commonlye serued to idolatry, and haue
prouoked to whoredome, and haue chaunged and altered many daughters of
good house and stocke, from the loue and fauour of their parentes, and
finally haue caused infinite murthers: murthers I say, for in all the
3 peeces of Scripture before alledged, we euer fynd ther the death of
some. In the daunse before Herod the death of John Baptist. In the
rape or rauishing of Dina, Sichem, his father, & all his sobiectes,
died there. In the worshipping of the golden calfe, where the children
of Israel daunsed and leaped so nimblie, cherefully, & merily, before
that their belly was full, there died then aboute three thousande in
recompence of their ioy and gladnes. If then we would consider the
issues, and effectes, which come from daunses, & the fayre or goodly
fruites which they bring forth, we would neuer thinke, but that the
heares would stand upright upon our very heades when the question is
of daunsing.
