Verſe 4. In the very act] Gr. In the very theft: [non-Latin text not transcribed]. Capell. of Tempt. perhaps to intimate the great theft that is in adultery; whiles the childe of a ſtranger carries away the goods or lands of the Family: which therefore the adultereſſe is bound in conſcience to confeſſe. Defraud. i. e. in re Venerea, in adulterio. Sic intelligunt. Hieron. Chryſoſt. Heinſous. Saint Paul gives charge, that no man go beyond, and defraud his brother in the matter: that is, in the matter of the marriage bed; but that every one poſſeſſe his veſſell, that is, his wife, the weaker veſſell, in ſanctification and honour, as ſome interpret it.
