2 Uncleanness) Meant all manner of unclean words and deeds, which do not reach unto the act of fornication, as all manner of unclean kissings, and speeches tending to uncleanness, though they come not to the height of fornication; and therefore we see how lightly men esteem of these also, yet they are horrible and vile in the sight of God. And howsoever men say, they think no hurt, yet as where we see smoke, we say is fire: so where these are, there is a fire of concupiscence.

2 Vncleanesse) Meant all manner of vncleane words and deeds, which do not reach vnto the act of fornication, as all manner of vncleane kissings, and speeches tending to vncleanesse, though they come not to the height of fornication; and therefore wee see how lightly men esteeme of these also, yet they are horrible and vile in the sight of God. And howsoeuer men say, they thinke no hurt, yet as where we see smoake, we say is fire: so where these are, there is a fire of concupiscence.

3 Wantonness:) The word signifieth passions: but as in other places where the Apostle speaketh of this sin, so here it is taken for wantonness, whereby is meant all lightness of the eyes, apparel, gates or ⟨p. 174⟩other behaviours, tending also to fornication and uncleanness.
