Ezekiel16:15

Ver. 15. But thou didſt truſt in thine own beauty] Thou greweſt proud of it, and thoughteſt there was none ſuch: when as thou mighteſt well have ſaid of it as he in the holy hiſtory did of his hatchet, Alas Maſter, it was but borrowed.

And plaidſt the harlot] Being fair and fooliſh.

Lis eſt cum forma magna pudicitiae.

Becauſe of thy renown] Being puft up with the greatneſſe of thy name and fame, which ſhould have made thee more morigerous, Prov. 27.21. See the Note there.

And pouredſt out thy fornications] Indifferently and impudently, like a filthy ſtrumpet.

His is was] Quicunque vult, come as come would: ſo deteſtably inſatiate waſt thou: The Papiſts boaſt of their Church, that ſhe is a pious Mother, that ſhutteth her boſom to no man. Meretricis ſcilicet hoc eſt meretriciſſimae.
