Yea further,1 Not only to stand out our selves in evil, but to join with others to defend them, though it be the venturing of our own undoing and others, this is further wickedness; yet how many have we of the Gentry and Nobility of the Kingdom,2 that do not only seek to defend themselves, but join with the greatest Malignants of the Kingdom, with those that are the greatest cause of evil, and were like to be the utter undoing of us all? to defend them from Justice will venture the ruin of their own families; whereas were it ⟨p. 209⟩that the Malignants were given up, they might have saved their estates families and all; Oh! that ever God should leave men in such horrible wickedness as this is! This is just as it was in the days of Gibeah.
