The Life and Death of Mr. Badman

Wise. Right; when Joseph's Mistress tempted him,¹ yea tempted him daily;² yea, she laid hold on him, and said with her Whores forehead, Come lie with me, but he refused: He hearkened not to lie with her, or to be with her. Mr. Badman would have taken the opportunity. And a little to comment upon this of Joseph. ⟨p. 93⟩1. Here is a Miss, a great Miss, the Wife of the Captain of the Guard, some beautiful Dame, I'll warrant you. 2. Here is a Miss won, and in her whorish Affections come over to Joseph, without his speaking of a word. 3. Here is her unclean Desire made known; Come lie with me, said she. 4. Here was a fit opportunity. There was none of the men of the house there within. 5. Joseph was a young man, full of strength, and therefore the more in danger to be taken. 6. This was to him, a Temptation, from her, that lasted days. 7. And yet Joseph refused, 1. Her daily Temptation; 2. Her daily Solicitation: 3. Her daily Provocation, heartily, violently and constantly. For when she caught him by the Garment, saying, Lie with me, he left his Garment in her hand, and gat him out. Ay, and although contempt, treachery, slander, accusation, imprisonment, and danger of death followed, (for an Whore careth ⟨p. 94⟩not what mischief she does, when she cannot have her end) yet Joseph will not defile himself, sin against God, and hazard his own eternal salvation.
