Matthew Poole and continuators on Leviticus 18:24

24 Defile not ye your selves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled, which I cast out before you.

To wit, above mentioned sins. Whence it is apparent, that the several incests here prohibited are not onely against the positive and particular Law given by God to the Jews, but also against the general Law and Light of nature.
