But there ariseth a doubt, whether sin may by any means be excused for ⟨image 260⟩this cause,1 because it was common, and almost all men were infected with it? No undoubtedly, yea rather it was so much the more wicked and heinous, as it was committed of many, and that without punishment. For they did not only conceive and commit wickedness, but also publish and set it forth openly, and without shame ran together to accomplish it. Wherefore it is rightly written, that the sins of the Sodomites cried and ascended up into heaven. Isaiah also writeth: They have published abroad their sin like Sodoma. And where we see that done, we must think that it is a certain token, that that public wealth shall in short time perish. For men when they are touched with some shamefastness, although they sin, yet remaineth there some hope of amendment and repentance. But when in a manner they openly profess wicked acts, and write books of them, and will have their wicked crimes to be public, there is nothing else to be looked for, but the vengeance of God. With this wicked vice the Prelates and Papistical Sacrificers in these days are chiefly infected, and also the Antichrists of Rome, unto whom matrimony is very odious.
But there ariseth a doubt, whether sinne may by any meanes be excused for ⟨image 260⟩this cause,1 bycause it was common, and almost all men were infected with it? No vndoubtedly, yea rather it was so muche the more wicked and heynous, as it was committed of many, and that without punishement. For they dyd not onely conceaue and committe wickednes, but also publishe and set it forth openly, and without shame ranne together to accomplishe it. Wherefore it is rightly written, that the sinnes of the Sodomites cried and ascēded vp into heauen. Esay also writeth: They haue published abrode their sinne like Sodoma. And where we see that done, we must thinke that it is a certayne token, that that publique wealth shall in shorte tyme perishe. For menne when they are touched with some shamefastnes, althoughe they sinne, yet remayneth there some hope of amendement and repentaunce. But when in a manner they openly professe wicked actes, and write bokes of them, and wil haue theyr wicked crimes to be publique, there is nothyng elles to be looked for, but the vengeaunce of God. With thys wicked vyce the Prelates and Papisticall Sacrificers in these dayes are chiefely infected, and also the Antechristes of Rome, vnto whom matrimony is very odious.
