I will give thee a pertinent Instance: I• Deut. 22. thou mayest read of a betrothed Damsel, one betrothed to her Beloved, one that ha• given him her Heart and Mouth, as thou has• given thy self to Christ; yet she was met with as she walked in the Field, by one that force• her, because he was stronger than she. Well, what Judgment now doth God, the righteous Judge pass upon the Damsel for this? The Ma• only that lay with her, saith God shall die; bu• unto the Damsel thou shalt do nothing; the•• is in the Damsel no Sin worthy of Death. F•• as when a Man riseth against his Neighbour, […] slayeth him, even so is this matter; he foun• her in the Field, & the betrothed Damsel crie• and there was none to save her, Deut. 22.27, 29▪
