Christians should be very shy of the occasions of evil, and take heed of the wine when 'tis red in the glass, and have an eye to their eye when they look on a maid. Dinah out of a gadding curiosity must needs visit the daughters of the land, and while she goeth to see the daughters, the son saw her, visamque cupit, and having seen her, he took her; having taken her, he lay with her; having lain with her, he defiled her; the report whereof coming to Jacobs sons, they were grieved; being grieved, they were wroth; being wroth, they meditate revenge; meditating revenge, they speak deceitfully; speaking deceitfully, they deceived; having deceived, they slew; having slain, they spoiled: see how great a fire a little matter kindleth, what great evils there issue forth from small beginnings. Take heed then.
