2. Ratione loci. In regard of the place. So wrangling in a church is worse then in a tavern. Thievery in the Temple more wicked than thievery in the market. Amos. 2. They lay themselves down upon clothes 1laid to pledge, by every Altar: and they drink the wine of the condemned in the house of their God. which was more horrible, then the same wickedness done in another place. This appeared by Christs actual ⟨p. 62⟩punishing that offence, oven with those hands, that we never else read gave any blows. For Sacrilege is the worst of all thefts.
2. Ratione loci. In regard of the place. So wrangling in a church is worse then in a tauern. Theeuery in the Temple more wicked thē theeuery in the market. Amos. 2. They lay themselues downe vpon clothes 1layde to pledge, by euery Altar: and they drinke the wine of the condemned in the house of their God. which was more horrible, then the same wickednes done in another place. This appeared by Christs actuall ⟨p. 62⟩punishing that offence, ouen with those hands, that we neuer else read gaue any blowes. For Sacrilege is the worst of all thefts.
3. Ratione temporis. In respect of the time. For to play when thou shouldst pray; to swear when thou shouldst sing; when thou shouldst bless, to curse; and to be drunk in a Tavern, when thou oughtest to serve God in the Temple, is worse then the same offence at other times. Those Vintners and Victuallers are grievously guilty, that do in prayer time at once open their own door, and a door to irreligion and contempt of Gods holy worship.
