Lusts of the flesh, are such as are stirred up by the flesh, which being obtained, our bodies find comfort, such pleasure as we find in meat and drink, or women, in intemperancy, or incontinency.
Lusts of the eye, are such as satisfy the senses, and that is called covetousness, and they are called lusts of the eye, because the eye is only satisfied with them.
