For this cause God gave them up unto vile
affections
Because of their idolatrous practices, God left them to very
dishonourable actions, sodomitical ones, both among the men and
women:
for even the women did change the natural use into that
which is
against nature;
either by prostituting themselves to, and complying with the
"sodomitical" embraces of men, in a way that is against nature
F8; or by making use of such ways and
methods with themselves, or other women, to gratify their lusts,
which were never designed by nature for such an use: of these
vicious women, and their practices, Seneca F9 speaks,
when he says,
``libidine veto nec maribus quidem cedunt, pati natae; Dii illas Deoeque, male perdant; adeo perversum commentae, genus impudicitiae, viros ineunt:''also Clemens Alexandrinus F11 has respect to such, saying,
``(gunaikev andrizontai para fusin, gamou men ai te kai) (gamousai gunaikev) ''and such there were among the Jews, whom they call (wzb wz twllwomx) (Myvn) F12, and whom the priests were forbidden to marry.
