Deuteronomy22:28
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her , and lie with her, and they be found:
(i. e.) An unmarried man, as appears, 1. From his obligation to marry the person he abused, which it is not probable would have been imposed upon him. 2. Because if the man had been married, this had been adultery, and so had been punished with death.
Which notes some kind of force or artifice whereby she was overpowred, whereas Exod. 22. 16. she was enticed, which implies consent, and therefore the man doth here receive a greater punishment, because he used hostile violence towards her, which was the greater sin.
Marginal references: Exod. 22. 16.
