There is beauty in a woman, Gods admirable workmanship, rich colours upon a piece of clay. By some wanton look, lascivious speech, or light behaviour, the devil suggests the seeds of unchastity. Lust conceives desire, she travels with expectance of opportunity, grows big with immodesty, at last, brings forth adultery.

In another, the devil suggests the seed of Pride; Lust conceives it by thinking on honour, she travels in the imagination of high places: how great things she might do, how bravely quit her enemies, if preferred to some dignity: he grows big with an office, and at last brings forth scorn and tyranny: now still she runs upon Pompey's motto. Semper ego cupio praecellere, & esse supremus.

Satan suggests the seed of discontent: Lust conceives a child, like Ice, it begets the mother again. Wine begets lust, and lust begets a desire of wine. Bacchus and Venus are near neighbours; only voluptuousness hath a house between them.
