Thou shalt preserve the chastity of thy neighbour; Chastity is the purity of soul and body, as much as belongeth to generation. The mind is chaste; ⟨image 89⟩when it is free, or at the least, freed from fleshly concupiscence. The body is chaste, when it putteth not in execution, the concupiscences of the flesh. 1. Thessaloni. 4.3. This is the will of God, even your sanctification, and that ye should abstain from fornication. vers. 4. That every one of you should know, how to possess his vessel in holiness and honour. ver. 5. And not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles, which know not God. 1. Corinth. 7.34. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit.
