I heard {58d} of one that should say to his Miss, when he tempted
her to the committing of this sin, If thou wilt venture thy Body, I
will venture my Soul. {58e} And I my self heard another say, when
he was tempting of a Maid to commit uncleanness with him, (it was
in Olivers dayes) That if she did prove with Child, he would tell
her how she might escape punishment, (and that was then somewhat
severe,) Say (saith he) when you come before the Judge, That you
are with Child by the Holy Ghost. I heard {59a} him say thus, and
it greatly afflicted me; I had a mind to have accused him for it
before some Magistrate; but he was a great man, and I was poor, and
young: so I let it alone, but it troubled me very much.

Atten. 'Twas the most horrible thing that ever I heard in my life.
But how far off are these men from that Spirit and Grace that dwelt
in Joseph!

Wise. Right; when Joseph's Mistress tempted him, yea tempted him
daily; {59b} yea, she laid hold on him, and said with her Whores
forehead, Come lie with me, but he refused: He hearkned not to lie
with her, or to be with her. Mr. Badman would have taken the
opportunity.

And a little to comment upon this of Joseph. {59c}

1. Here is a Miss, a great Miss, the Wife of the Captain of the
Guard, some beautiful Dame, I'le warrant you.

2. Here is a Miss won, and in her whorish Affections come over to
Joseph, without his speaking of a word.
