THE PICTVRE OF A VVanton her leawdnesse discouered LONDON Printed by W. White for T. P. and are to be sold in Iuie Lane 1615. To the Christian Reader SAlomon in his Prouers Prou. 5. doth in many Chapters so wisely and pithily describe the impudencie and leawde behauiour of an Harlot Prou. 6. that if men would aduisedly read them Prou. 7. and diligently obey the diuine Counsell in them contained they would refraine comming neere her doores least they might be insnared with her allurements But there are some that frequent Harlots houses to beare their Friend company as they affirme not knowing or at least not considering the corruption of their Nature nor their owne weakenesse to resist temptation nor the danger to walke in the counsell of the vngodly and to stand in the way of sinners Some beeing setled on the Lees of their Sinnes make it almost their dayly practise to conuerse with them not regarding how griuously they offende Almightie GOD transgressing his holy Ordinances nor weighing how they Defile their bodyes which are the Temples of the holy Ghost nor considering into what penurie and want they may be brought to nor fearing the Iudgements and Punishments which God hath threatned to vnchast lyuers Heb. 13. 4. For Fornicators and Adulterors God will iudge Almightie GOD who is holy yea holinesse it selfe rightious in all his wayes and holy in all his workes hating all vncleannesse though he had abundance of Spirit yet hee made but one Man for one Woman and one Woman for one Man ioyning them togeather in holy Matrimonie for the procreation of Children to gather vnto himselfe a Church out of man-kind as also to auoyde Fornication Therefore GOD sayth Exod. 20. Thou shalt not commit Adulterie Know ye not saith S. Paul that your Bodies are the members of Christ 1. Cor. 16. 15. Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an Harlot God forbidde Yea saith 19 or Know ye not that your Body is the Temple of the holy Ghost which is in you whom ye haue of God and ye are not your owne ye are bought with a price Consider then how such as couple them-selues with Harlots defile the members of Christ and pollute the Temple of the holy Ghost and cut them-selues off from the fellowship of Christ and driue away the holy Spirit from them For what fellowship hath Rightiousnesse with Vnrightiousnesse 1. Cor. 6. 14. What communion hath Light with Darkenesse What concord hath Christ with Beliall Wisedome cannot enter into a wicked heart Wisdom 1. 4. nor dwell in a body subiect to sinne And who doth not know to what penurie yea to extreame beggarie many haue been brought by following of Harlots Pro. 6. 26. For because of the whorish Woman a man is brought to a morsell of Bread Alea Vina Venus tribus his sum factus egenus The example of the Prodigall Child doth plainely declare it And lastly God hath will iudge Fornicators Corporally Spiritually and Eternally Corporally in this life with many foule and noysome Diseases as Batches the French Pox wherewith many are consumed and eate to the bones Spiritually in their Vnderstanding For Hose 4. Fornication and Wine take away a mans heart Pro. 2. 18. Eternally both in body and soule in Hell fire For her House tendes to death Pro. 7. 27. and her Paths to the Graue Therefore Scortorum pertis scribatur Ianua mortis saith S. Paul Bee not deceiued neither Fornicators nor Idolaters nor Adulterers nor Wantons nor Buggerers nor Theeues nor Couetous nor Drunkards nor Raylers 2 Cor. 6. 9. 10. nor Extortioners shall inherite the Kingdome of Heauen And S. Iohn saith But the fearefull and vnbeleeuing Reuel 21. 8. and the abhominable and Murtherers and Whoremongers and Sorcerers and Idolaters and all Lyers shall haue their part in the Lake which burneth with Fire and Brimstone which is the second death And let not the secret Fornicator and close Adulterer Iob 24. 15. whose Eye waiteth for the twilight and saith no eye shall see mee and disguiseth his Face thinke that he shall goe vnseene Heb. 4. 13. For all things are naked and bare to Gods eyes with whom he hath to doe Darkenesse and Light are all one to him Psalm 139. He knoweth the thoughts of all men Iob 21. 27. And will set in order all that they haue done Psalm 50. for he is the searcher of the Heart and Reines Therefore sayth Salomon Prou. 5. 20. Why shouldest thou delight my Sonne in a strange Woman or imbrace the bosome of a stranger 21. For the wayes of man are before the eyes of the Lord and he pondereth all his paths His owne iniquities shall take the wicked himselfe 22. and hee shall be holden with the cordes of his owne sinne He shall die for fault of instruction 23. and shall goe astray through his great folly These thinges while I considered with my selfe I remembred a Dialogue betweene two written in Latine by that reuerend learned man Erasmus to disswade young Women from this euill kind of life by shewing the abhominable filthinesse thereof I haue inlarged it both with addition of more persons and larger matter endeuouring to warne both young Men and young Women yea and all of what age or condition soeuer to take heed of this foule vice and abhominable sinne which will exclude them out of Heauen if they repent not I know that the multitude of Bookes in this age are many but good Bookes which tende either to the instruction of Vertue or to the destruction of Vice are to be regarded and diligently read But filthy and vnchast Pamphlets whereof the World is too full are fitter to be burned as corrupters of Youth And who soeuer doth so misspende his time and abuse his Witte and peruert the good guiftes and graces of God shall receiue condigne punishment and his owne Bookes shall be produced as witnesses against him I now intreat thee courtious Reader to peruse this little Treatise and if thou thinke it needfull for these times fitte to promote Gods glorie and profitable to men as I hope and am perswaded it is giue God the glorie and pray for mee his vnworthy seruant Thine in the Lord F.
