Description

It is one of the most surprising things that I have ever observed, that
sanctity should be ashamed—but iniquity not ashamed to display itself.
Hence it is one of the greatest blessings promised to the lower world,
that "iniquity, as ashamed, shall stop her mouth;" which supposes, that
in bad times she has an impudent loquacity, both a whore's forehead in
refusing to be ashamed, and the tongue of a strumpet in scorning to be
silenced. Hence the company of dissolute people over their bottle, are
not shy to open to another the mystery of iniquity in their most
abandoned actions, and to boast in their shame.
