Proverbs5:14
14. I was almost in all evil , in the midst of the congregation and Assembly b.
Oh what a miserable man am I! There is scarce any misery in respect of Estate, or Body, or Soul, into which I am not already plunged. The words also are and may well be rendred thus, In a moment I am come into all evil. In how little a time, and for what short and momentany pleasures am I now come into extream and remediless misery! I who designed and expected to enjoy my Lusts with secrecy, and impunity, am now made a publick example and shameful spectacle to all men, and that in the Congregation of Israel, where I was taught better things, and where such Actions are most infamous and hateful.
