Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 15:20

20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands, defileth not a man.

Mark hath this▪ with very small difference in Words, Ch. 7.18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23. only he specifieth some more sins, than Matthew enumerateth. The Sum of what our Saviour [illegible: 1 letter]aith is this. That all sin proceedeth from Lust, some desires in the Heart of man after things forbidden in the Law of God. All the t[illegible: 1 letter]cklings of our Hearts, with such Thoughts, all the Willings, and De[illegible: 2 letters]res of such things, tho they never issue in Over-Acts, yet de[illegible: 1 letter]ile, and pollute a Man, and from these inward Motions of the Heart, proceed those Overt-Acts (mentioned by Matthew or Mark) of Murders, Adulteries, Fornication, Theft, False-witness, Blasphemy, Deceit, L[illegible: 1 letter]scivousness, an Evil Eye, Pride, Foolishness, now these things take them in their Nest, which is the Heart, they defile, and pollute that. Take them in their passage through our Lips, into the World▪ they pollute that, take them in their Overt-Act, they pollute the Man. But to eat with unwashen Hands, a thing no where forbidden by God, only by the Pharisees, who had no such Authority given them from God, to command any such things, this doth not pullute a Man. It is po[illegible: 1 letter]sible, that Men may sin in not obeying the Commandements of Men, but it must be than in things, in which God hath Authorized them to command, and to determine our Practice in, for the pollution lyes in a Disobedience, to the Commandement of God, not of Men.
