Now he was so wrought on by her, that as wise as he thought himself, in purposing that she should never know that which she sought at his 1hands; yet because he gave place to his wicked affections, he was not only ⟨p. 751⟩snared and in danger as before, but now told all unto her: to wit, that there never came razor on his head: but if his locks were cut off, he should lose his strength; which was as much as if he had told her, how they might take his life from him, and bring all shame and sorrow upon him, as they did in deed: and yet more then this, he might (though to small effect) have said to her, to wit, beside all this evil which I shall sustain hereby, I do also set the Lord against me, to deprive me of his grace, and all this for thy sake: for thus much (doubtless) he suffered for her.
