Excerpt from Brands Plucked Out of the Fire: A Sermon Preached by the Dean of Westminster Before the Church Penitentiary Association at St. James's Church, Piccadilly, on Thursday, April 22, 1858 Now, my brethren, when I speak thus, I would not for an instant imply' that it is not most' just that this sin of nu chastity should be visited with heavier penalties in the woman than in the manf - with heavier penalties so far as this present world is concerned. I believe that it is most just; and when some would account for this fact on the ground that it is man who mainly forms the public opinion, and that he has unfairly formed it in his own favour, this explanation, I am persuaded, is as shallow as it is untrue. This heavier penaltyis of God's and not of man's ordaining. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
