if a man touch him with his infirmities Speake ought that bréeds a hate of sinne it is a verie Hell to him blesse your selfe out of this fiends companie for these certaine and exampler respects that follow First because adulterie is a greater sinne and more hatefull as some schoolemen say in the sight of God then periurie Next because Gods law forbids it and example dissuades it By the law adulterers were stoned to death Before the law they were punished by death as appeareth by Iudas iustice on Thamar examples of the hainousnesse of this sinne appeareth in many places thousands of men died in the fields of Moab for this fault and sixtie thousand of the children of Israell were put to the sword for the onelie rauishing of a Leuites wife Thirdlie for these respects is this adulterie to bée eschewed first because it impugneth the law of nature Next the law of countries and last for that it hath béene the ruine of manie Citties and kingdomes If in the law of nature it had not béene odious Pharoah and Abimelech had not answered Abraham That had they supposed Sara for his wife they had not taken her Touching the lawes of countries Solon in his adiudged the adulterer to die the Locrensians Persians Arabians and Egyptians most cruelly punished it Plato consenteth with Solon the law of the twelue tables with both By the Ciuile lawes the husband adulterer looseth his marriage and the adulteresse his wife the thirds of the goods of her husband And as concerning the exemplarie miseries it hath fatally wrought Sodome and Gomorra were consumed with fire for adulterie and Sodomie Troy a prowd cittie made a plowd land Nune seges est vbi Troia fuit And corne now growes where Troy once stood Agamemnon for refusing to kéepe to Clitemnestra and defiling himself with Briseis was prosecuted by deadly hatred by his wife and slaine in Treason by her adulterous paramour Egistus Vlisses rather refused immortalitie at Calipsos hand then to consent to this sin and Lewis of France as the Hystorian saith Maluit mori quam violare fidem sues centhorali He had rather die then breake his faith to his espoused wife it was the onely adulteries of the French that caused a Massacre of 8000 vpon the ringing of one Bell in the Isle of Sicilie Nectabanus Olimpus loue the miseries of vnhappie Dalida of Tereus many others might be here alleaged but I will end with that in Horace touching the punishments of adulterers and the rather to bring men in horror of the sinne Hic se praecipitem tecto dedit ille flagellis Ad mortem caesus fugiens hic decidit acren●… Proedonum in turbam dedit hic pro corpore nummos Hunc perminxerant calones quin etiam illud Accidit vt quidamtestes caudamque saluce●… Demeteret ferro This lecher from a window headlong skipt This till he suffered death was soundly whipt He flying fell in cursed fellons hands This money gaue to ransome him from bands Him clownes bepist and this doth often hap That some leaud lechers caughtin cunning trap Scornd and disdaind and worthy of the scoffe Haue both their saltie taile and stones cut off But herein some man perhaps will take occasion to reproue me that describing adulterie with a double lip I discouer not the cause why I present him so to him let this reason suffice which wanteth not his authoritie I therefore giue adulterie a single and double lip because there is a single and a double adulterie that adulterie which is called single is when as one of the two that commits the sinne is maried and the other is not and the double wherein man commits Bigamy or both the offenders are coupled in marriage touching two of these I haue sufficiently discoursed as I hope before this onely of Bigamy and Poligamie this much and so an end both these as against nature the Ethnicks and Pagans despised and that they are condemned by God it appeareth by his owne words Erunt duo in carne vna They shall be two in one flesh he saith not three or four by this place shamelesse Lamech of the cursed race of Cam is condemned for beginning the pluralitie of wiues and the lasciuious and sensuall Emperour Valentinian who coupled with his wife Seneca a yong maiden called Iustine whom he espoused as Socrates witnesseth Too long am I on this behold another more hainons spirit incarnate in the bodie of a youthly braue gallant who comes freshly from the Tailers in a new sute of crimson
