Proverbs6:26
26. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread : and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life .
To extream Poverty, so as to want and be forced to beg his bread.
To take away a mans life; either by consuming his body and spirits, and so shorming his days; or more directly and strictly, when she hath any great provocation to it, or any prospect of considerable advantage by it. Or, for the pretious Soul, which she corrupteth and destroyeth. But I prefer the former sense.
Marginal references: Chap. 29. 3.; Heb. the wo [illegible: 1+ letters] of a man, or a mans wife.
