Verse 14
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Ver. 14. Drawn away of his lust ] Δελεαζομενος , Satan hath only a persuading sleight, not an enforcing might. Our own concupiscence carries the greatest stroke.
And enticed ] As the silly fish is by the bait covering the hook, being first drawn aside into the clear water. a Or as the unwary younker, drawn to folly by some subtle she-sinner; who thereupon conceiveth, and bringeth forth a bastardly brood.
a Δελεαρ , quasi δολεαρ, a δολος .
