Psalms101:3

3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes : I hate the work of them that turn aside , it shall not cleave to me.

To wit, to look upon it with deliberation and design, or with desire and delight, as this phrase here and elsewhere implies. If any ungodly or unjust thing shall be suggested to me, whatsoever specious pretences it may be covered with, as reason of state or worldly advantage, I will cast it out of my mind and thoughts with abhorrency, so far will I be from putting it in Execution.

From God and from his Laws.

To wit, such work: Or, the Contagion of such Examples. I will neither imitate nor indure such works, nor such workers.

Marginal references: Heb. thing of Belial.
