Excerpt from A Sermon Preached to the Societies for Reformation of Manners: At St. Mary-Le-Bow, on Wednesday, January 10th, 1727 Then flood up Phinehas, and executed Judgment: and so the Plague was stayed. And that was counted unto him for Righteousness, unto all Generations for evermore. In order to understand these Words aright, it is necessary to recollect the Historical Occasion of them. When the Israelites, in their Passage to Canaan, continued for some time in the Borders of Moab, they began to be corrupted with the Lewdness and Idolatry of the Women of that Countrey. And these are Vices that have been frequently observed to be nearly allied to one another. In a just Sense of the Heinousness of these Sins, Moses and the Body of the Israelites, who firmly adhered to the true God, thought it their Duty to humble themselves before him, and lament the Disobedience of their Brethren at the Door of the Tabernacle.
