Jer. 9.23 24. Painting the Face one of the Marks of of a Jezebel 2 Kings 9.30 for she painted her Face and tired her head when she heard of Jehu's coming like the Proud ones of our day VVIlliam Salmon in his Book before-mentioned saith some may wonder that we meddle with such a subject as this is 1 Cor. 3.20 viz painting the Face curling colouring and poudering the hair Answer And so they may well that a man of so much knowledge in several things should encourage the practise of so much vanity Ephes 4.17 But let such know saith he the painting of a deformed Face and the licking over of an old withered wrinkled and weather beaten skin are proper appendices to a Painter since a single deformity in the Body begets a complication of miseries in the mind c.
