3. The Opportunity was ready, and the object present: 'tis said, there was none of the Men of the House within. She had the advantage of secrecy to fasten the temptation upon him. When a sin may be easily committed, and easily concealed, the restraints of fear and shame are taken off, and every breath of a temptation is strong enough to overthrow the Carnally minded. The purest and noblest Chastity is from a principle of Duty within, not constrained by the apprehension of discovery and severity.

4. The Continuance of the temptation: she spake to him day by day. Her Complexion was lust and impudence, and his repeated denials were ineffectual to quench her incensed desires, the black fire that darkened her mind. She caught him by the garment, saying, Lye with me: she was ready to prostitute her self, and ravish him.
