He bore all in hand by swearing, and cracking, and lying, that he was as well to pass as he was the first day he set up for himself, yea that he had rather got than lost; and he had at his beck some of his companions that would swear to confirm it as fast as he. ATTEN. This was double wickedness, it was a sin to say it, and another to swear it.
I wonder what it was that of old was called the attire of a harlot; certainly it could not be more bewitching and tempting than are the garments of many professors this day. ATTEN. I like what you say very well, and I wish that all the proud dames in England that profess were within the reach and sound of your words.
I could tell you of another, that came to me with a like relation concerning herself, and the robbing of her mistress; but at this time let this suffice. ATTEN. But what was that other villain addicted to; I mean young Badman's third companion. WISE. Uncleanness; I told you before, but it seems you forgot. ATTEN. Right, it was uncleanness. Uncleanness is also a filthy sin.
Thus the wicked joined hand in hand, and there he served out his time. ATTEN. Then, sure, he had his heart's desire when he was with one so like himself. WISE. Yes, so he had, but God gave it him in his anger. ATTEN. How do you mean?
But for the rest I can say nothing. ATTEN. And what did Badman do after his wife was dead? WISE. Why, even as he did before; he scarce mourned a fortnight for her, and his mourning then was, I doubt, more in fashion than in heart. ATTEN. Would he not sometimes talk of his wife when she was dead?
But when an antagonist comes to deal with us about this matter, then we have for him often other strong arguments, if he be an antagonist worth the taking notice of. ATTEN. But, as was hinted before, he used to be the ring-leading sinner, or the master of mischief among other children; yet these are but generals; pray therefore tell me in particular which were the sins of his childhood.
Badman; had he, I say, dealt like an honest man, he had then gone out of Mr. Badman's road. He did it therefore of a dishonest mind, and to a wicked end; to wit, that he might have wherewithal, howsoever unlawfully gotten, to follow his cups and queans, and to live in the full swing of his lusts, even as he did before. ATTEN. Why this was a mere cheat. WISE. It was a cheat indeed.
Badman, notwithstanding the conceit that he had of his own abilities, a fool of no small size. ATTEN. Fools are mostly most wise in their own eyes. WISE. True; but I was a saying, that if it be a sign that a man is a fool, when anger rests in his bosom; then what is it a sign of, think you, when malice and envy rests there? For, to my knowledge Mr.
Take heed, Sirs, break off your sins, lest God serves you as he served Mr. Badman's brother; that is, lest he gives you up to be your own murderers. ATTEN. Now you talk of this; I did once know a man, a barber, that took his own razor and cut his own throat, and then put his head out of his chamber window, to show the neighbours what he had done, and after a little while died.
The judge thought the fellow was mad, but after some conference with some of the justices, they agreed to indict him; and so they did of several felonious actions; to all which he heartily confessed guilty, and so was hanged, with his wife at the same time. ATTEN. This is a remarkable story indeed, and you think it is a true one. WISE. It is not only remarkable, but pat to our purpose.
