[ 1364] Fleshly-lusts, the danger of them.

IT is said of the Torpedo,* 1.1 a kind of dangerous Sea-fish, that it is of so venomous a Nature, that if it chance to touch but the line of him that angles, the poyson is thereby derived to the Rod, and thence to the hand of him that holds it; whereupon the Party is so benummed and stupified on a suddain, that he loseth the use of his limbs: Even so, when inchanting lusts insinuate themselves into, or indeed but barely touch upon voluptuous minds,* 1.2 they grow (with the Compa∣nions of Ulysses) not onely bruitish, but withall so senselesse, that they have not the power to think a good thought, or to do any good action.
