A39639	A flaming whip for lechery, or the whoremasters speculum containing a fearful historical relation of such wicked unclean person as have been made publick and private examples of God's divine vengeance ... taken out of sacred and prophane history : also, some dreadful examples of God's righteous judgment, not recorded in either ... in order to prevent God's heavy judgments hanging over this sinful land.		1700 (1700)	Wing F1132; ESTC R226622	162,606	342

of_o a_o judgement_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v also_o plain_a beyond_o all_o contradiction_n that_o those_o who_o embrace_v the_o old_a arian_n heresy_n now_o revive_v

and_o corrupt_a reason_n we_o have_v see_v under_o what_o severe_a penalty_n chastity_n be_v enjoin_v unto_o the_o jew_n who_o under_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v the_o peculiar_a people_n and_o

take_v notice_n in_o what_o manner_n and_o under_o what_o penalty_n chastity_n be_v enjoin_v to_o christian_n under_o the_o new_a testament_n we_o find_v then_o in_o the_o 15_o of_o the_o act_n v._o

exposition_n be_v too_o much_o force_v to_o be_v rely_v on_o in_o the_o 9th_o and_o 11_o verse_n of_o that_o chapter_n the_o apostle_n forbid_v they_o so_o much_o as_o to_o eat_v with_o a_o brother_n who_o be_v a_o fornicator_n such_o be_v the_o purity_n of_o life_n that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n enjoin_v to_o all_o christian_n in_o the_o 6_o chap._n the_o apostle_n inform_v we_o that_o neither_o

they_o be_v neither_o fit_a to_o be_v member_n of_o church_n nor_o indeed_o of_o politic_a and_o civil_a societes_n with_o christian_n in_o the_o 11_o verse_n he_o tell_v they_o such_o be_v some_o of_o you_o but_o now_o you_o be_v sanctify_v v._o 13._o he_o say_v that_o the_o body_n be_v not_o for_o fornication_n but_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o the_o lord_n for_o the_o body_n and_o in_o the_o

harlot_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o you_o can_v make_v christ_n a_o partaker_n of_o fornication_n with_o you_o and_o therefore_o when_o you_o be_v guilty_a of_o those_o abominable_a sin_n you_o disunite_v yourself_o from_o christ_n and_o offer_v violence_n to_o your_o own_o body_n by_o pull_v yourself_o away_o from_o christ_n and_o join_v yourself_o to_o a_o harlot_n in_o the_o 18_o verse_n he_o enjoin_v they_o to_o flee_v fornication_n because_o he_o that_o commit_v fornication_n sin_v against_o his_o own_o body_n that_o be_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n he_o

a_o temple_n a_o cage_n of_o unclean_a spirit_n and_o so_o provoke_v the_o holy_a spirit_n to_o abandon_v it_o who_o will_v not_o dwell_v in_o a_o impure_a place_n and_z as_o whoredom_n bring_v a_o more_o direct_a blemish_n upon_o the_o body_n than_o any_o other_o sin_n do_v so_o it_o tend_v to_o the_o dissolution_n and_o destruction_n of_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o body_n in_o the_o seven_o
