Let not that excuse you,1 when you have a temptation to go to wicked places, to play houses, to brothel houses, to wicked company, satisfy not your selves with this, I mean no hurt; but have you any call from God, can you approve it before God and say, Lord thou hast called ⟨p. 188⟩me hither?2 I suppose you have heard of that story that Tertullian hath of a Christian woman, who being at a play was possessed of a Devil, and other Christians coming to cast him out, asked the evil spirit how he durst possess one that was a Christian? He answered, I found her says he in my own place; so if we would take heed of the Devil, take heed of wicked places.
