What shall the woman do, if she repent and be so tempted in her flesh that she cannot live chaste? verily I can show you nothing out of the scripture. The office of the preacher is, to 1preach the x. commandments which are the law natural, and to promise them which submit themselves to keep them of love and fear of God, everlasting life for their labour, through faith in Christ: and to threaten the disobedient with everlasting pain in hell. And his punishment is, if any man have offended through frailty, & when he is rebuked, turn and repent, to receive him unto grace, and absolve him: and if any will not amend when he is rebuked, to cast him out among the infidels. This I say, if the temporal power shut her up, as a convict person appointing her a sober living, to make satisfaction to the congregation for her damnable example, they did not amiss. It is better that one misdoer suffer, then that a common wealth be corrupt.
