But see here young men as well as old, the Holy Ghost nameth not alone men come to the vigour of their youth, but even the younger youths that were scarce past child-hood, these also learnt of the elder, and it pleased them to be present where filthy deeds were done. Verily, child-hood will soon receive the infection of lust and there is scarce a sin that will show it self more early in imitating those evil speeches or acts it hears or sees; young ones will drink in this poison greedily, and will show that themselves are of kin to the elder, by bending the same way. How careful therefore should elder persons be, to forbear all such words and carriages before these buds, as may begin to season with evil too too timely? and why should any be so naught as yet some parents have been, to delight to teach their children libidinous songs and carriages? some love sin so well, that they delight to instruct young ones in this foul and obscene trade. Hath any amongst you spate out this venom in the presence of young ones, to make them sooner wicked then else they would? O how very great is his sin, whose filthiness will live in another when himself is dead. A man hath more cause to bewail the contagion of his lust in this kind, then the lust it self in himself, he may kill it by repentance, but what will he do to stop the contagion in another.
