Chap. 3 t. Exptfotion upon the 800ke of J o B. Verl. 9 389 gris this one eye offaith ( though this is never alone, or without the eye of love) which ravi(hcth the heart of Chrift. This eye offaith gives Chrift ;Lich a looke, that his heart cannot but be toucht with it graciouffl even as the wanton lookes of Adulte- rous women touch and wound the hearts of graceleffe men. That's the Second way, by which women deceive the hearts of men, They can doe it with their eyes. Thirdly , Women deceive the hearts of men, as by their eyes, . fo by their tongues ; Their mulicall voyceis a foire, that's a de-, ceiver too. The whori(hwoman bath her bewitching longs and melodious ditties, by which the inicuates her poyfon at the Bare to the heart. That Poetical! fable of the Sirens drawing Sea-paf- fengers to them by tinging, and then devouring them, was but the fhaddow ofwhat I am now upon.

This ftrange woman, is eyther another mans wife, or fuch a one as is nota wife ; And (hee;how neerea neigh- bour, or how el knowne foever thee is unto any man, ought to be as a &ranger to his bed and embraces, yet (he is apt enough to fmooth and pave man a way to both by ber fanning faicering words.
