John Trapp on Proverbs 1:17

Verſ. 17. Surely in vain the net] Which is to ſay, Silly birds pick up the meat, but ſee not the net, and ſo become a prey to the fowler. If the fruits of the fleſh grow out of the trees of your hearts (ſaith bleſſed Bradford) ſurely,Sermon of Repent. pag. 70. ſurely, the Devil is at Inne with you; you are his birds, whom when hee hath well fed, hee will broach you, and eat you, chaw you, and champ you world without end, in eternal woe and miſery.
