2. Be very watchful as over thy outward senses, so especially over thine eyes, which are the doors and windows of the soul to let in Lust. Hereupon Job, though an holy man, and in Years, durst not trust his eyes without a guard, but engaged himself by solemn Promise and Covenant not to stand gazing on the beauty of a woman; Job 31. 1. Alexander refused so much as to see Darius his wife, a Lady of incomparable beauty, fearing lest he, who had Conquered the Husband, should be overcome by the Wife. Upon this ground it seems Zeleucus imposed that Law upon the Locrenses, that the Adulterers eyes should be pulled out, because sin entered in at those Casements, therefore he would stop up the Windows.
