This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_7:13 So she caught him, and kissed him, [and] with an impudent face said unto him,
Ver. 13. So she caught him, and kissed him.] Strange impudence in this "strange woman," who hath not her name for nought. Potiphar’s wife was such a beast; so was Messalina the empress, wife to Claudius, Joan, queen of Naples, and other prodigious strumpets, of the kind of those whom they call Borboritae. We have heard, saith a grave divine, {a} of virgins, which at first seemed modest, blushing at the motions of an honest love; who being once corrupted and debauched, have grown flexible to easy entreaties to unchastity; and from thence boldly lascivious so as to solicit others, so as to prostitute themselves to all comers; yea, as our casuists {b} complain of some Spanish stews, to an unnatural filthiness.
{a} Dr Hall.
{b} Martin. Vivald., in Candelabro. cap. de Confes.
