IIII. Effeminate wantonness, whereby occasions are sought to stir up lust. Gal. 5.19. The works of the flesh are manifest, which are adultery, fornication, uncleanness, wantonness. Of this kind are 1. Eyes full of adultery. 2. Peter 2.14. Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease to sin. 2. Idleness. 2. Samuel 11.2. When it was evening tide, David arose out of his bed, and walked upon the roof of the kings palace, and from the roof he saw a woman washing her self: and the woman was very beautiful to look upon. Verse 3. And David sent and enquired what woman it was, and one said, Is not this Bathsheba the daughter of Eliam, wife to Uriah the Hittite? Then David sent messengers, and took her away: and she came unto him, and he lay with her. 3. Riotous and lascivious attire. 1. Timothy 2.9. The women shall array themselves in comely apparel, with shamefastness and modesty, not with broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly apparel, but (as becometh women that profess the fear of God) with good works. Isaiah. 3.16. Because the daughters of Zion a• shanty, and walk with stretched out necks, and with wandering eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet. v. 17. Therefore ⟨image 88⟩shall the Lord make the heads of the daughters of Zion bald, and the Lord shall discover the secret parts. v. 18. in that day shall the Lord take away the ornament of the slippers, and the cauls, and the round tyres. ver, 19. The sweet balls, and the bracelets, and the bonnets. v. 20. The tyres of the head, and the slops and the headbands, and the tablets, & the earrings, 21. the rings & the mufflers. v. 22. The costly apparel and the veils, and the wimples, & the crisping pins, 23. and the glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods and the lawns. And no marvel if the Prophet be so sharp against excessive & wanton apparel: for this is 1. a lavish and prodigal wasting of the benefits of God, which might well be employed upon better uses. 2. It is a testimony, and as it were the cognisance or ensign of pride, whereby a man would have himself in greater reputation, then another. 3. It is a note of great idleness and slothfulness. For commonly such as bestow much time in tricking and trimming themselves up, do quite neglect other business, and of all things cannot away with pains. 4.
