Isaiah5:18

Ver. 18. Woe unto them that draw iniquity] that draw ſin to them, as a beaſt draweth a cart after it. Here the Prophet reproveth and threateneth ſuch,Nihil agitantes niſi malum omni ſtudio ſuo. Jun. Qui datâ operâ peccant. Scultet. ſaith an Interpreter, as ſin without any ſtrong temptation or occaſion drawing them thereunto: yea they draw ſin to themſelves as with ropes, & quodammodo velut invitum & repugnans cogunt: not remembring that ſin haleth hell at the heels of it. Let ſuch get from under ſins cart aſſoon as they can: Otherwiſe they ſhall be holden with the cords (puniſhments) of their iniquity: they ſhall dye without inſtruction, &c. Pro. 5.22. The Devils as they ſinned without a tempter, ſo they periſh without a Saviour. Cavete.
