Ezekiel18:6

6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbours wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,

Hath not committed Idolatry, first, offering Sacrifice, and eating of the things sacrificed to Idols, whose Temples and Altars were on Mountains, chap, 20. and 28. Hos. 4.13. and where the Idolaters did use to feed one another in honour of the Idol.

Neither adored, nor expected help from the Idols; this is a Religious posture, as Psal. 121.1.

They had Idols of their own, and some that despis'd the Heathen's Idols, yet were polluted with their own Idolatry, which was a great sin, whatever the blind Idolater thought of it.

Hath not broken out into Adultery and defil'd another man's Wife, for every man is here included in Neighbour, as Luk. 10.36.

Abstain'd from both familiar converse, and from conjugal acts, observing the Law of God herein. Levit. 15.19. and 18.19.

Who is, and ought to be set a part because of her monthly courses.
