For we sin continually, as Eve did at first; The Devil persuaded her she should not die, and then when this fear was removed, she presently falleth into the transgression, and thus before men fall into the pit of any sin, they are drawn aside from those serious thoughts; This will offend God, this will damn me. The other word is [Greek or Hebrew], a Metaphor either from birds or fishes, which have baits to allure them, and thereby are destroyed: Thus lust appeareth with a bait, but the hook doth not appear.
