8. If there be any one sin more then other, that the soul doth readily close with, that is its beloved sin: its right eye sin, or its right hand sin. Sampson, when all the world could not take away his strength,1 is easily persuaded by Delilah. See how Solomon expresses the Harlots dealing with the young man: with much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him: the most she could do was to flatter him, and yet notwithstanding it is said she forced hi•: sin works altogether by enticement; Every man is tempted, 2when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed, yet it is so powerful that it amounts to a force, as the request of a King amounts unto a command.
