made it known: Thus God many times makes the actors of wickedness
their own accusers, and brings them by their own tongues to
condigne punishment for their own sins.

Wise. There has been many such instances, but we will let that
pass. I was once in the presence of a Woman, a married woman, that
lay sick of the sickness whereof she died; and being smitten in her
conscience for the sin of Uncleanness, which she had often
committed with other men, I heard {57b} her (as she lay upon her
Bed) cry out thus: I am a Whore, and all my Children are Bastards:
And I must go to Hell for my sin; and look, there stands the Devil
at my beds feet to receive my Soul when I die.

Atten. These are sad storyes, tell no more of them now, but if you
please shew me yet some other of the evil effects of this beastly
sin.

Wise. This sin is such a snare to the Soul, that unless a miracle
of Grace prevents, it unavoidably perishes in the enchanting and
bewitching pleasures of it. This is manifest by these, and such
like Texts.

The Adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Whoso committeth
adultery with a woman, lacketh understanding, and he that doth it
destroys his own soul. {57c} An Whore is a deep ditch, and a
strange woman is a narrow pit. Her house inclines to death, and
her pathes unto the dead. None that go in unto her return again,
neither take they hold of the path of life. She hath cast down
many wounded; yea many strong men have been slain by her, her house
is the way to Hell, going down to the Chambers of Death. {58a}
