Her perdition follows. She undoes a man; not so much in the estate of his carcass, as of his conscience. The guest is not so much damnified in respect of his goods, as damned in respect of his grace. Every man is not undone, that is beggared: many like Job, Minime pereunt, cum maxime perire videntur, are indeed least undone, when they seem most undone.
