God's terrible voice in the city

14. A fourteenth sin of London is Uncleanness, another sin of Sodom; their sin indeed was unnatural uncleanness. I would hope that this sin hath been little known and practised in the City. But Fornication and Adultery have been too common. Indeed there hath not been that boldness and impudency in this sin as elsewhere; there hath not been that whores forehead so generally in London, and declaring the iniquity like Sodom: but let the consciences of many Londoners speak, whether they have not been secretly guilty of this sin? Would it not be a shame to tell of the chambering and wantonness, and privy lewdness which hath been committed in London? suppose that in all the remaining Churches the sin of uncleanness should be reproved; and all, both men and women that have been actually guilty of it, should be forced by an inward sting of conscience (as sometimes those were upon the words of our Saviour that accused the woman taken in Adultery) immediately to go forth out of the place: what a stir would there be in some Churches? what an emptying of some Pews? what a clearing of some Isles? and how few would there be remaining in some places?
