1. Fornication; Which is, when the sin of Uncleanness is committed by single and unmarried persons. 2. Adultery, When both, or one of the Parties delinquent, are Married; as the Notation of the word intimates, Adulterium, quasi ad alterius torum, the going to another's Bed. And this is so much the more ⟨p. 84⟩heinous, as it is a wilful shipwreck abroad, when it hath an Harbour, and safe remedy provided at home. 3. Incest; Which is committed by persons that are within the prohibited degrees of Consanguinity, or Affinity. 4. Polygamy; The having of many Wives at once. 5. Rape, or Ravishment; Which is a violent deflowering of a Woman, who never consented thereunto. Such was Amnon's sin in deflowering his Sister Tamar.
