Rebuke of Sin Considered Indelicate

Mark 6:18
For John had said to Herod, It is not lawful for you to have your brother's wife.
I have always noticed that people who live in the practice of vice think the servants of God ought not to allude to things so coarse. We are allowed to denounce the sins of the man-in-the-moon and the vices of savages in the middle of Africa; but as to the everyday vices of this city of London, if we put our finger upon them in God's name, then straightway someone cries, "It is indelicate to allude to these things."
