Society and the purity of poſterity could not otherwiſe continue amongſt men: Huet of Conſe. pag. 5[illegible: 1 letter]. which is well obſerved by Divines to be the reaſon, why Adultery is named, under it all uncleanneſſe being forbidden; when yet other violations are more heinous, as Sodomy, and beſtiality: Nevertheleſſe, other ſinnes do not ſo directly fight againſt ſociety, which the Law mainly reſpects.
