32. The Chastity of Turtle-Doves.
The MORAL.
HEre is a Glass for all Immodest People; wherein they may see, how far different they are from Turtles, who (void of Sense and Reason) are Naturally Chaste: For they have a con∣fused, innate Obligation to keep them∣selves so, after they have Coupled. Men and Women have a double, Rational Tye, Divine, and Moral; Inward Con∣science, and Outward Ceremony: Yet, for ought I see, the Generality value Neither, a Button. One will have his Whore, and the other, her Rogue; Li∣centiously turning that blessed State, into a Common Road of Bestiality.
For shame then, thou Yoked Leacher∣ous Satyr, leave off Surfeiting thy Lust; and when thou art again the like Tempt∣ed, powerfully Resist; and perform thy Marriage Vow, with a Just and Sacred Chastity. Nor may those Unmarry'd, take any such wicked Course in Filthi∣ness, since No Whore-mongers, (as well as Adulterers, and Fornicators) shall en∣ter into the Kingdom of GOD. (file. Keep chaste, do not thy Marriage-bed de-Resist the Tempter, and he'll soon Recoil.
