John Trapp on Proverbs 6:26

Verſ. 26. For by means of a Whoriſh woman] See the Note on Chap. 5.10. Theſe creatures know no other language but that of the Horſleeches daughter, Give, give, and may fitly bee compared to the Ravens of Arabia, that full-gorged have a tuneable ſweet record; but empty, ſcreech horribly: or to Carrion-crows, that flock to a dead carcaſs, not to defend it, but to devour it; and no ſooner have they bared the bones, but they are gone.Daniels Chronicle. Thus Dame Alice Peirce (King Edward the thirds Concubine) ſerved him whiles hee lived, all was here as ſhee would; and when this King lay a dying, ſhee packt away what ſhee could ſnatch, even to the rings on his fingers, and ſo left him.

Will hunt for the precious life] As Potiphars wife did for Joſephs, Gen. 39.14. And ſurely it was a great providence of God, that upon her falſe accuſation, hee had not been preſently put to death. Into priſon hee was thrown, and ſo laden with fetters, that the iron entred into his ſoul, i. e. eat into his fleſh, Pſal. 105.18. and all by means of this Whoriſh woman,Mantud[illegible: 1 letter]. whoſe luſt turned into hatred. Aut te ardenter amat, aut te capitaliter odit. See more in the Note on Prov. 5.11.
