First, The plain evidence of the words: Thou shalt not covet thy Neighbours house: which is to be enforced by the conference of the rest of the Commandments: Honour thy father and thy mother: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal: thou shalt not commit adultery: thou shalt not ⟨p. 221⟩bear false witness: having all of them a common and a familiar understanding, such as every man at the first hearing doth conceive. This therefore must have the like. And it is a thing in this point worthy to be observed, which the Talmudists cite so oft. The ^uLaw, they mean the Scripture, speaketh according to common use. Now, let any man, endued only with reason and understanding, be asked what this should mean, Thou shalt not covet thy Neighbours house; he will certainly answer, We must be content with our own.
