John Trapp on Proverbs 22:14

Verſ. 14. The mouth of a ſtrange woman] Diabolus capite blanditur, venire oblectat, caudâ ligat, ſaith Rupertus. Theſe ſhee-ſinners (as their ſtallions call them) are moſt dangerous. See the Notes on Chap. 2.16. and 5.3. Solomon had the woful experience of it, Eccleſ. 7.26. and Sampſon, Judg. 16. who Lenam non potuit, potuit ſuperare leaenam, Quem fera non potuit vincere, vicit hera.

How did David moyl himſelf in this deep pit,Pſal. 57. and there might have ſtuck in the mire, had not God drawn him out by a merciful violenc and pureged him with hyſſop from that abhorred filth?

Hee that in abhorred of the Lord ſhall fall therein] As the Jeſuits (thoſe odious Connubiſanchfugae Commeretricitegae) too often do; though they boaſt that they can talk and dally with the faireſt women without danger, and the people muſt beleeve no otherwiſe, but that when they are kiſſing a woman, they are giving her good counſel. David George, that execrable Heretick, was ſo far from accounting Adulteries, Fornications, Inceſts, &c. for being any ſins,Hiſt. David. Georgii, that hee did recommend them to his moſt perfect Scholars as acts of grace and mortification; and was confident that the whole world would ſubmit to his doctrine. Peccatum peccatum trabit, as the Hebrew Proverb hath it. One ſin draws on another, and the latter is oft a puniſhment of the former; God, by a peculiar kinde of revenge, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. delivering up ſuch to a reprobate ſenſe, or a minde diſallowed, or abhorred of God, as the Apoſtles word (Rom. 1.28.) ſignifies.
