The object is instanced in some particulars generally set down, such as our neighbours house, his wife, then his servants, &c. under which (as the general following cleareth) are comprehended all that concerneth him, his place and credit, or any thing that relateth to any of the former Commands.

Thou shalt not grieve that he is well, nor aim at his hurt, nor be discontent that thy own lot seemeth not so good. And as for the reason why this Command is added, its scope holdeth it forth, which seemeth to be this, I not only require you (as if the Lord had said) not to steal from him, and not to let your mind ran loose in coveting what is his, as in the eighth Command, not only to abstain from Adultery or determined Lust in the heart, as in the seventh Command, and not only the abstaining from wronging of his life, as in the sixth Command, and of his name that way spoken of in the ninth Command, or wronging of them that are in place and power by such heart lusts in us as are forbidden in the fifth Command; but I require such holiness that there be not any inordinate lust or motion entertained, nor having a being in the heart, although it never get consent, but on the contrary, that in reference to all these Commands in your carriage towards your Neighbour, there be in you a full contentation with the lot that God hath carved out •o you, without the least inordinate motion or inclination to the contrary, which may either be inconsistent with love to him, or with contentment and a right composure of spirit in your selves.
