Atten. This carriage of his to her, was enough to break her heart.
Wise. It was enough to do it indeed, yea it did effectually do it. It killed her in time, yea it was all the time a killing of her. She would ⟨p. 131⟩often-times when she sate by her self, 1thus mournfully bewail her condition: Woe is me that I sojourn in Meshech, 2and that I dwell in the tents of Kedar; my soul hath long time dwelt with him that hateth peace. O what shall be given unto thee, thou deceitful tongue? or what shall be done unto thee, thou false tongue? I am a Woman grieved in spirit, my Husband has bought me and sold me for his lusts: 'Twas not me, but my Money that he wanted: O that he had had it, so I had had my liberty! This she said, not of contempt of his Person, but of his Conditions, and because she saw that by his hypocritical tongue, he had brought her not only almost to beggary, but robbed her of the Word of God.
