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. |
