Thirdly, observe the number of these lusts. After ungodly lusts.] Where he speaketh in the plural number as of many: for original concupiscence is the seed of all sin in every man: and look how many sins there be in the world, so many lusts are there in the hearts of men: so as seeing there is no number of the evils in the world, even so are the lusts of the heart innumerable.

Thirdly, obserue the number of these lusts. After vngodly lusts.] Where he speaketh in the plurall number as of many: for originall concupiscence is the seede of all sinne in euery man: and looke how many sinnes there be in the world, so many lusts are there in the hearts of men: so as seeing there is no number of the euils in the world, euen so are the lusts of the heart innumerable. Therefore truly may wee conclude, that vngodly men haue their hearts filled with vngodly lusts.
