John Trapp on Proverbs 7:27

Verſ. 27. Her houſe is the way to hell] The ſhorteſt cut to utter deſtruction. This, if well beleeved, would make the young man ſtop or ſtep back, as if hee had trod upon a ſerpent.

Sed vivunt homines tanquam mors nulla ſequatur: Aut velut infernus fabula vana foret.

Going down to the Chambers of death] Both temporal and eternal. Lo thoſe Hoaſts that welcome men into their Inne with ſmiling countenance, will cut their throats in their beds. The Syrens are ſaid to live in green meadows,Natal. Comes. and to have by them ever an heap of dead mens bones.
