Hosea7:4
Verſ. 4. [non-Latin text not transcribed] They are all adulterers,] Adulterio caleſcunt, ſo Pagnine, ſcalded in their baſe luſts as thoſe, Rom. 1.27. all (for the moſt part) were ſuch: but eſpecially the Courtiers, and clawback-Informers, as verſ. 3. God, in his juſt judgement, giving them up to thoſe vile affections or paſſions of diſhonour, and puniſhing their impieties with impurities: as He did alſo in thoſe Heathens, Rom. 1.24.
as an oven heated by the baker] An apt ſimilitude ſetting forth the intenſe heat of filthy luſt, (better marry then burn, 1 Cor. 7.9.) and of long continuance as the heat of an oven; yea, of Nebuchadnezzars oven, yea, of hell it ſelf, whence it was enkindled, and where it ſhall be perpetually puniſhed.

How much they have lived deliciouſly, and drenched themſelves in fleſhly delights, ſo much torments and ſorrow ſhall they have proportionably, Rev. 18.7. As their hearts have ben as an hot oven or furnace, ſo they ſhall be bound up in bundles, and caſt into a furnace of fire (where ſhall be wailing and gnaſhing of teeth, Mat. 13.42.
