But] Here Saint James sheweth the source, originall, and fountain of all temptation unto sinne: viz. that naturall corruption which we brought into the world with us, Psalms 51:7. Romans 7:7. without which, neither the devil nor the world could hurt, they tempting by working upon our concupiscence.
drawn] Here are set down two wayes, whereby lust tempts unto sinne. First, by withdrawing from that which is good. Secondly, by enticing unto that which is evil under some appearance of that which is good and pleasant: even as fishes and other beasts are allured unto the hook, nets, or snares, by some pleasing bait. See Genesis 3:5, &c. 2 Samuel 11:2, &c.
