there he settled his abode; where also he had children. However,
he did not accept of his punishment in order to amendment, but to
increase his wickedness; for he only aimed to procure every thing
that was for his own bodily pleasure, though it obliged him to be
injurious to his neighbors. He augmented his household substance
with much wealth, by rapine and violence; he excited his
