Fourthly, Unmercifulness to the poor was another of Sodoms sins, which the Ungodly are chargeable with here, and shall be charged with and condemned for, at the day of Christs appearance, Math. 25. 41, 42. It is no wonder that those who have no pity on their own souls, should have their bowels shut up against the poor; that those who spend so much on their lusts, should not spare any thing for the relief of other's wants. None have more marble bowels, than those who have the hardest hearts; and none more unmerciful than those which are most Ungodly and Sinful.

Fifthly, Abominable Filthiness is the last and chief Sin of the Sodomites. And if the skirts of England were turned up, what filthiness would there appear under them? It is a shame to speak what is done of some in secret, yea too many declare their uncleanness like Sodom, and are not ashamed to practice it in the sight of the Sun. Whoredom and Adultery, what more common in this debauched generation? Yea, I wish that too many in England, as well as Italy be not guilty of the Sin of Sodom, properly so called, I mean the lusting after strange flesh, such vile affections some are given up unto, through the just Judgement of God.
