Galatians5:19

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest which are these , adultery fornication , uncleanness , lasciviousness .

The products of the Natural inclinations and propensions in the heart of man:

He saith, these are manifest, the filthiness of them appears by the light of Nature, by the checks of conscience men meet with for them; or else it is manifest, that these actions are not from the Spirit of God, (because of their contrariety to the Divine Rule,) but are from the corrupt part of man; these (he saith) are

Adultery, or the defiling of our Neighbours Bed.

Fornication, which is the uncleanness of single persons each with other:

And all other species of uncleanness, or unclean conjunctions:

with whatsoever wanton carriage, gestures, or behaviour lead to these acts.
