The Fundamental Ground of this Affection,1 is any Evil that hath either Guilt, or any kind of Turpitude in it, or any signs and suspicions thereof, reflecting either on our selves, or any of ours, whose reputation we are tender of. And thus the Apostle telleth us, that all Sin is the matter of Shame, when it is revived with a right judgement. What fruit had you then in those things whereof you are now ashamed. That which hath Emptiness in the Beginning, and Death in the End, must needs have Shame in the middle. But though all Sin with respect to Gods Eye and Judgement doth cause Shame yet in the Eye of men, those cause it most which have any notable & more odious Turpitude adhering unto them. As either obscene or subdolous, and dishonest Actions when they are detected, forging of Deeds defacing Records, counterfeiting of names or seals, suborning of Wit nesses, making use of ingenious Professions, as Cloaks to palliate, and instruments to provoke Abusive and Illiberal practises.
