Chaste spirit, or desirest to be chaste, or at least are apt to consider whether you ought or no. For there are some spirits so wholly imbued with uncleanness, that they turn the most prudent and chaste discourses into filthy ap rehensions - like diseased stomachs, changing their very Cordials an medicine into bitterness; and; in a literal sense, turning the grace of God into wantonness.
