1Thirdly he sinned in committing as he thought whoredom with a professed harlot, but it was indeed incest with his daughter in law, who of purpose lay to entice him in the habit of a harlot, by the way where she knew he must go; This is a filthiness, that a man should suffer himself to be so far enslaved to lust after a disguised harlot by the way, as to solicit her, and hire her, and abuse her. He was at that time a widower, and the time of mourning for his wife was past, and now he made no great conscience of single whoredom, but God will judge whoremongers, 2and whoremongers shall not inherit Gods kingdom.

If there be any amongst you as bad as Judah, that makes little conscience of avoiding whoredom if he may do it closely and without knowledge, and hath abused his wealth to hire an object for his unlawful lust to work upon, he must see his fault in Judah and repent of it.
