Atten. These are dreadful sayings, and do shew the dreadful state
of those that are guilty of this sin.

Wise. Verily so they doe. But yet that which makes the whole more
dreadful, is, That men are given up to this sin, because they are
abhorred of God, and because abhorred, therefore they shall fall
into the commission of it; and shall live there. The mouth (that
is, the flattering Lips) of a strange woman is a deep pit, the
abhorred of the Lord shall fall therein. {58b} Therefore it saith
again of such, that they have none Inheritance in the Kingdom of
Christ and of God. {58c}

Atten. Put all together, and it is a dreadful thing to live and
die in this transgression.

Wise. True. But suppose, that instead of all these Judgments,
this sin had attending of it all the felicities of this life, and
no bitterness, shame, or disgrace mixed with it, yet one hour in
Hell will spoil all. O! this Hell, Hell-fire, Damnation in Hell,
it is such an inconceivable punishment, that were it but throughly
believed, it would nip this sin, with others, in the head. But
here is the mischief, those that give up themselves to these
things, do so harden themselves in Unbelief and Atheism about the
things, the punishments that God hath threatned to inflict upon the
committers of them, that at last they arrive to, almost, an
absolute and firm belief that there is no Judgment to come
hereafter: Else they would not, they could not, no not attempt to
commit this sin, by such abominable language as some do.
