But I come to another fault of Chams. He contented not himself to see but must also blab abroad what he had seen,1 and tells it not alone to one, but to his two Brethren that were without and did not see it. He left his Father still uncovered, and gets him out of doors to find Shem and Japheth, and so soon as he met with them, reports, no doubt laughingly and fleeringly what he had seen, like enough adding also words to this purpose, to draw them to the like, and bid them go in and they should see such a thing as they would little have thought ever to have seen. But let us satisfy our selves to take the fault as it is set down. He told the fault and told it to his two Brethren that were without and needed not to have been acquainted with their Fathers ⟨p. 85⟩nakedness, if he wretched whisperer could have commanded himself silence.
