Come forth all ye Adulterers, you that have neighed like full fed Horses after your neighbours Wives, and assembled by troops into Harlots houses; or if not so, have committed this sin in secret corners: was there no shame in you, to keep you from this nasty, filthy sin? could you delight so much to wallow in mire and dung? was there no fear in you to restrain you? did not conscience check and rebuke you, when this lust first conceived in you? did you never hear that Whoremongers and Adulterers God would judge? and did you not think you should be called to an account for this sin? Could you melt in filthy sinful pleasures of the flesh, and not consider how you should consume in torments? were your short pleasures comparable to an eternity of pain and misery? were there not pleasures of a higher nature, and sweeter relish attainable in life, if you had forgone and denied your selves unlawful pleasures? have you not l•st them and the unspeakable eternal joys of Heaven by your intemperance. Take them Devils, bind them hand and foot.
