Yea, which is horrible to be Spoken! such a Vile Uncleanness, do some among the debased Children of men, sink down ⟨p. 44⟩into, that Sodomy and Buggery it self, ha's been among their Crimes. The Great God ha's had Occasion to issue out such precepts, as those, in Lev. 18.22,23—against such unutterable Abominations and Confusions. Alas, There is in Europe, a Land Professing the Christian Religion, where such Devilish Practices are, they say, very frequent; but flaming Fire from Heaven will shortly destroy that Accursed Land. Nay, And in this Land of Uprightness too there have been some that have thus Dealt Wickedly. And I have one very wonderful Example to tell you of it. In the Southern Parts of this Country, about the Year 1641. a Beast brought forth a Creature that had something of an Humane shape. This Monster had a blemish in one Eye, just like what a loose Lewd Fellow in the Town, was known to have. This greater Monster, being upon this Account Suspected, was Examined upon that suspicion, and upon his Examination Confessed his Guilt of most infandous Bestialities, for which he underwent a deserved Execution. You hear what the Acts of Uncleanness are; but I am to tell you, That there are Unclean Thoughts, ⟨p. 45⟩which are Prohibited by the Lord our God; even as in Math. 5.28. A Looking upon a Woman to Last after her. And there are Unclean Words, which are also Prohibited; Even, as in Eph.5.4. Filthiness & Foolish Talking. In all of these things, there is Uncleanness. But what shall be said of this Uncleanness. In one Word, It is a Wickedness. Tis Rebuked every where the whole Bible over. Bat indeed, I need not Appeal unto the Bible, to prove the Wickedness of Uncleanness. The Natural Reason and Conscience in man, will testify unto it. Even an Abimelek, a Philistine, will pronounce it, A Great Sin. Until the Souls of men, come to be debauched, into the Vilest of Degeneracies, they cannot but see a World of Wickedness in this Uncleanness. Why, the plain Wrongs which all the Unclean do both to themselves, and others, are enough to make every sensible Person, say, God forbid, I should ever do such Wickedness! Wherefore, to pass on.
