Exodus20:14
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery .
Here is mentioned one kind of uncleanness, as being eminently sinful and unjust and pernicious to humane society. But under this are comprehended and forbidden all other kinds of filthiness, as beastiality, Sodomy, whoredom, fornication, &c. and all means, occasions and appearances of them, as it [illegible: 1+ letters]ears 1. from other Scriptures that forbid those things, which [illegible: 1+ letters]her belong to this command, or to none of the ten, which is very improbable. 2. from the large extent of the other commands, noted before 3. from our saviours explication Mat. 5. 27. And contrariwise, all chastity and sobriety in thoughts, affections, words, habits and gestures is here prescribed. See 1 Thes. 4. 3, 4. Heb. 13. 4.
