3. As this sin bringeth a Consumption on the body and goods, so likewise doth it bring a rotten reputation on the name, and a reproach never to be done away. For be his proper name what it will, a Whore-master will be his common name, Prov. 6. 33. Whoso committeth Adultery, lacketh understanding, a wound and dishonour shall he get, that is, He shall be wounded in his name and credit; ⟨p. 87⟩and his reproach shall not be wiped away, that is, the disgrace which he hath brought upon himself by his filthiness, and uncleanness shall abide upon him. Though the wound may be cured by repentance, and the pouring into it the precious balm of Christ's blood, yet the scar in his name and reputation will remain.

It brings destruction on a mans soul, hurrying it into eternal torments in Hell; the fire of Lust is fuel for the fire of Hell, He that committeth Adultery with a woman, destroyeth his own soul, saith the Wise man, Prov. 6. 22. that is, casteth himself headlong both body and soul into that lake, which burneth with fire and brimstone. Sinner, that fire below, as hot as 'tis, would if it be well considered, be a cooler to this fire of Lust. When thou feelest Lust burn within thee, then think of everlasting burnings.
