Perhaps a poor man incontinent may smart for it; but how often dares an Apparitor knock at a Great-mans gate? If Lust comes under the rank of Honourable, or Worshipful, who dares tax it? But let as many as would be one Spirit with the Lord Jesus, hate to be one flesh with a Siren. It is recorded 1of Ulysses, that he stopped his ears to the incantations of these Sirens; and having put the rest under the hatches, bound himself to the Mast; to prevent the power of their tempting witch-crafts. Ulysses was held a wise man: sure then they are no less then fools, that prove and approve their charms. No man loves a Gally-pot for the paint, when he knows there is poison in it. I end in the Epigram of a modern Poet. Si renum cupis inco•mem seruare salutem, Sirenum cantus effuge, sanus eris.
Perhaps a poore man incontinent may smart for it; but how often dares an Apparitor knocke at a Great-mans gate? If Lust comes vnder the ranke of Honourable, or Worshipfull, who dares tax it? But let as many as would bee one Spirit with the Lord Iesus, hate to be one flesh with a Siren. It is recorded 1of Vlysses, that he stop'd his eares to the incantations of these Sirens; and hauing put the rest vnder the hatches, bound himselfe to the Mast; to preuent the power of their tempting witch-crafts. Vlysses was held a wise man: sure then they are no lesse then fooles, that prooue and approoue their charmes. No man loues a Gally-pot for the paint, when he knowes there is poison in it. I end in the Epigram of a moderne Poet. Si renum cupis inco•mem seruare salutem, Sirenum cantus effuge, sanus eris.
