And thus the Harlot did, Prov. 7. 14. I have peace-offerings with me, this day I have payed my vows. Paying the vow, is a confession that I am in debt to God for my sin; and I owe God homage and service▪ yet she made the confession of sin to be a means to provoke her to be more bold and adventurous in her wickedness. To confess drunkenness, and afterwards to be drunk; to confess profaneness, and afterwards to be profane; this is the bold adventurousness of wicked men: Thus Pharaoh in Exod. 9. confessed his sin, and afterwards when the plagues were over, runs into the same sin he did confess: and this is the badge and portraiture of a wicked man. And thus I have done with this fourth particular.
