Paul affirms, that the Lord of purpose to avenge himself upon their impiety, in not finding out his true worship, but changing the Image of the incorruptible God into an image made like […]o a corruptible man, 1and worshipping the creature besides the Creator, did give them up unto uncleanness in their own hearts lusts, to dishonour their bodies amongst themselves, and those that changed the truth of God, that truth which concerned God and the knowledge of him, into a lie, and set up images of him, did after put out the light of nature into darkness, and the natural use into that which was against nature. ⟨p. 217⟩Now how should it come to pass, that any one endued with reason should grow so utterly unreasonable, as to prefer this filthiness before that which is agreeable to the course of nature? Surely because when lust hath once taken possession of a man, and that he doth not find his expected satisfaction therein, then the Devil inflameth his fancies to try new and strange ways of contenting himself, until he have multiplied his sinful inventions to the utmost, and spent himself in a fruitless pursuing of what he cannot overtake.
