Vers. 4.

They are all adulterers, and as a verie ouen heated by the baker, which ceaseth from raysing vp, and from Kneading the dough, vntill it be leauened.

* 1.1A More plaine laying open of this matter. For he sheweth forth that kinde of wickednes of Courtiers especiallie, wherewithall lewd and baggage Courtiers doe make glad and delight the king.
