The person tempting, or the Harlot, is Vice; ugly and deformed Vice; that with glazed eyes, surph•ld cheeks, pied garments, and a Sirens tongue, wins easy respect and admiration. When the heat of tentation shall glow upon concupiscence, the heart quickly melts. The wisest Solomon was taken and snared by a woman: which foul adultery bred as foul an issue, or rather progeniem vitiosiorem, a worse, Idolatry. Satan therefore shapes his Temptation in the lineaments of an Harlot: as most fit and powerful, to work upon mans affections. Certain it is, that all delighted vice is a spiritual adultery.
