are not sufficient to restrain it within the limits of a modest discourse; and should we lock up her impure lips with a command of silence, yet could we never limit the infiniteness of her lascivious thoughts, with which she would as freely commit fornication, as if she were at liberty, and in the enjoyment of the greatest voluptuary; and we may say of her what _Scipio_ in another case said of himself, [5]_She is never less alone than when alone_. She tricks her self up with such variety of gauderies as if she were to expose her body to bring the Devil to her lure, and _tempt the Tempter himself_ to love her; and were that opinion of _Tertullian_ true, That the _Devils_ and _fallen Angels_ had carnal commerce with the _Daughters of Men_, and they should desire one to satisfie their lustful appetite, I'de recommend the strange woman in the Text unto them; who (like _Circe_) is an amiable Sorceress, and when she hath _once_ charmed her _Gallant_ with youthful blood sparkling in his veins, and beauty dancing in his face, into the endless Circle of her lust, hee'l find a difficult [6]recovery. {4} [7]Physitians tell us, that the reason we have in Feverish distempers our _Paroxysme_ but every second, third, or fourth day, and not at every circulation of the blood about the body, is, because the blood when it arrives to the heart must acquire such a degree of corruption before it can effect it, and therefore because this corruption is not sensible before many circulations have been performed, it cannot so soon create a _Paroxysme_: But in this impure and libidinous strumpets heart 'tis far otherwise; for she endures the Paroxysmes of the _Fever_ of _Lust_ every hour and moment, and the _circulation_ of her lusts in her heart is sooner performed then that of her blood. _Medea_ had not more damnable Arts to preserve youth and beauty then she, who has perfectly attain'd the Art of making new beauty, new hair, and counterfeit teeth; and not thinking she hath charms enough to render her amiable, has recourse to the Merchants, as unto Natural Magick, to buy there what Nature would not give her, and to make her self liked in spight of Nature's disfavours; and being accustomed to {5} varnish over her decayed Cheeks, and the ruines of a good Face, with the fresh colours of an adventicious Paint, she by her licentiousness seems to usurp the power and liberty of Painters, who (according to the Poet) [8]were priviledg'd to do what they pleased; and (to say truth) she is an exact Painter in all her actions; for the varnishes over the deformed and execrable Name of _Whore_, with the flourishing _Title_ and _Colour_ of a _Lady of pleasure_: and whilest she discourses to her Gallant of the unlawful use of her body, she colours it over with the title of a great and incomparable favour; and (_Mahomet_-like) perswades all her _adorers_, that there's no _Paradise_ but that of carnal fruition, and the gratification to
