Harmless-Mirth

Lord Lasciviousness disguised himself as Harmless-Mirth.[3]

"And there is yet another, who would avoid open and presumptuous sins, and yet he introduces into his house, under the milder name of Harmless-Mirth, the very essence of the spirit of worldly pleasure, and so mingles the world with religion as to bring the soul into bondage and captivity. It behoves the best of us to guard diligently against the encroachment of the world and of pleasure upon the holy places of the soul; and more especially in this age, in which worldly pleasures incline so very near to ungodliness and sin. There are but few worldly pleasures that are wholly innocent, and but little worldly 'mirth' that can be called altogether 'harmless.'"[2]
