Verse 18. Come foorth from the heart]
That source of sinne, and fountain of folly: for as a fountain casteth forth her waters, so doth the heart of man cast out it's wickednesse, Jer. 6. 7. and if the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 be a world of wick dnesse, Jam. 2. what is the heart,* 1.1 that seminary of sinne, wherein is a 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 as Empedocles saith in Aristotle. In this sea are not only that Leviathan the devil (who there sets up his forts and strong holds, 2 Cor. 10. 4. and doth entrench and incage himself) but creeping things innumera∣ble, Psal. 104. 26. making that which should be the Temple of God a den of theeves, a pallace of pride, a slaughter-house of ma∣lice, a 〈◊〉〈◊〉-house of 〈◊〉〈◊〉, a raging sea of sinne, Isa. 57. 20. a little hell of black and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 imaginations. The 〈◊〉〈◊〉 man 〈◊〉〈◊〉 rotting in the grave of corruption, wrapt up in the winding-sheet of hardnesse of heart, and blindenesse of minde; and (〈◊〉〈◊〉 a 〈◊〉〈◊〉 crawleth with wormes) swarming with those 〈◊〉〈◊〉 lusts, that were able to poison up an honest heart.
