Bede, on Prov 5:8

Bede · A.D. 673–735
Prov 5:8 · Douay-Rheims
“Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the doors of her house.”
On this verse:
“Keep your way far from her, etc. And the apostle says, Flee fornication (1 Corinthians 6). Because indeed the first remedy of this vice is to be far from those whose presence either allures or cooperates in the vice. But it also benefits weak listeners to be entirely separated from the hearing of heretics.”
