Ezekiel16:25
25 Thou hast built thy high place at every head of the way, and hast made thy beauty to be abhorred, and hast opened thy feet to every one that passed by, and multiplied thy whoredoms.
Not content with what was done in the City, she built her Idol Temples, and shews in the Country, in places where many Wayes or Roads met, wheresoever it was likely Passengers wou'd come.
As the Beauty of a shameless Whore is abhor'd by them to whom she offers her self: In her high Places every Passenger might meet his own God, and worship his own Idol, and then satisfie his Lust with lewd Women, common as the street, and this made men abhor that Beauty they wou'd have admir'd, drest in modesty, and dwelling retir'd:
A modest expressing of the most immodest practice of lewd and [illegible: 1 letter]nsatiable Adulteresses, and Whores, which are ready for every comer, and tempt such as tempt not them. ver. 32, 33.
