In the former sense the word is used, Prov. 6.25, Where Solomon advising to take heed of the Harlot, saith he, Keep thee from the evil Woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange Woman; lust not after her in thy heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids: There he makes use of this word, let her not take ⟨p. 44⟩thee, or let her not carry thee away upon her eye lids, let not her wanton eye flatter thee to the sin of wantonness and uncleanness. As the eye of a whorish Woman, so the whorish heart of a man, often takes and carrieth him away.
In the former sense the word is used, Prov. 6.25, Where Solomon advising to take heed of the Harlot, saith he, Keep thee from the evill Woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange Woman; lust not after her in thy heart, neither let her take thee with her eye lids: There he makes use of this word, let her not take ⟨p. 44⟩thee, or let her not carry thee away upon her eye lids, let not her wanton eye flatter thee to the sin of wantonnesse and uncleannesse. As the eye of a whorish Woman, so the whorish heart of a man, often takes and carryeth him away.
Hence observe:
The heart hath power over, and is too hard for the whole Man; Passions hurry our hearts, and our hearts hurry us; and who can tell whither his heart will carry him, or where it will set him down, when once it hath taken him up. This is certain, it will carry every man beyond the bounds of his duty, both to God and man: Take it more distinctly in these three particulars.
