14 God who is the only searcher of the hart, and doth abhor all pollution in what part soever of the soul or of the body it doth appear, forbiddeth unto us, in this commandment, not only these outward sins, but also the inward, and such as are preparations unto lust.
14 God who is the only searcher of the hart, and doth abhorre all pollution in what parte soeuer of the soule or of the bodie it doth appeare, forbiddeth vnto vs, in this commandement, not onelie these outwarde sinnes, but also the inwarde, and such as are preparations vnto lust.
15 God therefore doth here especially forbid the mind within to burn with lust, and even that in our eyes, hands, or any other behaviour, & gesture of our body, there be nothing, that may savour of wantonness, and unshamefastnes: to be brief, all filthy speaking, and all wanton writings, and undecent pictures are here forbidden by the Lord.
15 God therfore doth here especiallie forbid the mind within to burne with lust, and even that in our eies, hands, or any other behauior, & jesture of our body, there be nothing, that may sauor of wantonnes, and vnshamefastnes: to be briefe, all filthy speaking, and all wanton writinges, and vndecent pictures are here forbidden by the Lord.
16 The Magistrate, seeing the breach of this commandment doth most grievously annoy the society of man, is to punish the offenders herein, according unto the greatness of their faults: neither can it be justly doubted, but that incest, adultery, ravishing, and copulation against nature do deserve death, even by the law of nations.
