Proverbs22:14

14 The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein.

Her fair and flattering speeches wherewith she enticeth him to gross filthiness, as it is noted, Prov. 7. 21.

Into which it is easie to fall, but hard, if not impossible, to get out of it. It is a rare thing for any person, once entred into the course of Whoredom, sincerely to repent of it, and turn from it. See Prov. 2. 19.

To wit, in an high and singular manner, who by his former impieties, and contempt of God and of his Grace, hath provoked God to leave and loth him, and to punish one sin with another: for otherwise all sinners, as such, are abhorred by God.

Marginal references: Ch. 2. 16. & 5. 3. & 7. 5[illegible: 1+ letters] & 23. 27.
