8 Behold now, I have two daughters who have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out to you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only to these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.

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.
