John Trapp on Proverbs 2:19

Verſ. 19. None that go unto her return again] Some of the Antients have here hence concluded, that Adultery is an unpardonable ſin: But all manner of ſin, and blaſphemy ſhall bee forgiven unto men (ſaith our Saviour) ſave onely the ſin againſt the Holy Ghoſt, Matth. 12.31. True it is, that a Whore is a deep ditch, and a ſtrange woman is a narrow pit. Prov. 23.27. That Whoredome, and Wine, and new Wine, take away the heart, Hoſ. 4.11. That ſuch are ſaid to bee deſtitute of underſtanding, and to have loſt, even the light of nature, Prov. 6.32. Rom. 1.28. to bee paſt feeling, and given up to a dead and dedolent diſpoſition, Eph. 4.18, 19. to bee impudent, Jer. 2, 3. (wherefore alſo they are compared to dogs, Deut. 23.18. 2 Sam. 3.8.) and for moſt part impenitent, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Hom. Eccleſ. 7.28. Grace (as One well obſerveth) is ſeated in the powers of Nature. Now carnal ſins diſable nature, and ſo ſet us in a greater diſtance from grace, as taking away the heart, &c. Howbeit all things are poſſible with God, Mark. 9.26, 27. And though few have awakened out of this ſnare of the Devil, yet ſome have, as David, and that woman Luke 7.37, 50. leſt any humbled ſinners ſhould deſpair.
