Life and Death of Mr. Badman by John Bunyan

I could tell you of another, {52a} that came to me with a like
relation concerning her self, and the robbing of her Mistress; but
at this time let this suffice.

Atten. But what was that other Villain addicted to, I mean, young
Badmans third companion?

Wise. Uncleanness. {52b} I told you before, but it seems you
forgot.

Atten. Right, it was Uncleanness. Uncleanness is also a filthy
sin.

Wise. It is so; and yet it is one of the most reigning sins in our
day.

Atten. So they say, and that too among those that one would think
had more wit, even among the great ones.

Wise. The more is the pity: for usually Examples that are set by
them that are great and chief, {52c} spread sooner, and more
universally, then do the sins of other men; yea, and when such men
are at the head in transgressing, sin walks with a bold face
through the Land. As Jeremiah saith of the Prophets, so may it be
said of such, From them is profaneness gone forth into all the
land; that is, with bold and audacious face, Jer. 23. 15.

Atten. But pray let us return again to Mr. Badman and his
companions. You say one of them was very vile in the commission of
Uncleanness.
