And behold a woman, in the City, that was a sinner, i. e. a great and notorious sinner, and every such sinner is not scornful. Sitting includeth [standeth] and doth suppose it, for a man must stand before he sits in a wicked way; and standing supposeth a man first to come into that way, or to that seat in which he sits, but not contrary, a ⟨p. 13⟩wicked man may walk in that way in which he doth not stand, and he might stand in that way in which he doth not sit, and so of the rest.
