- 1[Greek or Hebrew]〈non-Latin alphabet〉
Take the heart.] So I find some turn it, and there is a good sense of it, that is, these lusts do take possession of their hearts. It is one thing for a man to be overtaken with a lust, and another thing for a lust to take a man. It is said of the godly that they are overtaken, but it is said of these that their lusts take them; but now when it comes to this that you do not only yield to a temptation but a temptation takes you, when you are taken captive, whoredom and wine they have taken their hearts. So some.
