indulged in infamous love for others, and encouraged their infamous affections for himself,
promising to some enjoyment of their lust, to others the death of their parents, and not only
instigating them to iniquity, but even assisting them in it. But now, how suddenly had he
collected, not only out of the city, but even out of the country, a number of abandoned men?
No one, not only at Rome, but in every corner of
Italy, was overwhelmed with debt whom he did not
enlist in this incredible association of wickedness.
