This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_1:17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
Ver. 17. Surely in vain the net.] Which is to say, Silly birds pick up the meat, but see not the net, and so become a prey to the fowler. If the fruits of the flesh grow out of the trees of your hearts, saith blessed Bradford, {a} surely, surely the devil is at inn with you; you are his birds, whom when he hath well fed, he will broach you, and eat you, chew you, and champ you, world without end, in eternal woe and misery.
{a} Sermon of Repent., p. 70.
