2375. 'On Lot forcefully' means to do so most of all against the good of charity. This is clear from the meaning of 'Lot' as good that flows from charity, dealt with above in 2324, 2351, 2371, 2373. From the statement itself 'they pressed on the man, on Lot forcefully' it becomes clear that one thing is meant by 'the man' and another by 'Lot forcefully'; otherwise one of these expressions would have been enough.
