Now consider the several aggravations of their sin, First,1 in regard of the persons to whom they intended to offer this villainy, even men that came within their gates to lodge and seek shelter from wrongs. Had they not filthy persons enough among themselves to please their libidinous fancies withal? but they must force honest and virtuous men to suffer such an indignity. Lust is ever the more blameworthy in exercising it self, by how much it useth more violence to effect its desire. It prevaileth by force worse then by persuasion, although wickedly enough either way, for here is a double wrong done to the same person, one of polluting, another forcing to suffer. Abhor you all manner of impurities, but especially loath to give lust such an headstrong command over you, that it should compel you by force and strength to compel others to suffer your unchaste offers. And if any man hath by wrestling, and striving, and might even overcome a resisting person, let him bewail the sin the more, because it is the greater, else the Lord will violently punish him, that violently abused another.
