This commandment, commit none adultery, had the Pharisees blinded and corrupt with their sophistry 1and leaven, interpreting the concupiscence of the hart, lewd toys, filthy gestures, unclean words, clipping, kissing and so forth, not to be imputed for sin. But even the act & deed alone, though Moses say in the text, thou shalt not covet, thy neighbours wife. &c. But Christ putteth to, light, & salt, & bringeth the precept to his true understanding and natural cast again, and condemneth the root of sin, the concupiscence and consent of the hart. Before the world I am no murderer till I have killed with mine hand. But before God I kill, if I hate: yea if I love not, and of love keep me both from doing hurt, and also be ready and prepared to help at need. Even so the con sent of the hart with all other means that follow thereof, be as well adultery before God, as the deed it self.
This commaundement, committe none adultery, had the Phariseis blinded and corrupte with their sophistrie 1and leuen, interpretyng the concupiscēce of the hart, lewde toyes, filthy gestures, vncleane wordes, clipping, kissing and so forth, not to be imputed for sinne. But euen the acte & dede alone, though Moyses say in the text, thou shalt not couet, thy neighbours wife. &c. But Christ putteth to, light, & salt, & bringeth the precept to his true vnderstanding and naturall cast agayne, and condemneth the roote of sinne, the concupiscence and consent of the hart. Before the world I am no murtherer til I haue killed with myne hand. But before God I kil, if I hate: ye if I loue not, and of loue keepe me both from doyng hurt, and also be ready and prepared to helpe at nede. Euen so the cō sent of the hart with all other meanes that folow therof, be as well aduoutry before God, as the dede it selfe.
