The third thing to be observed is, that the Lord convinceth 1and condemneth the Israelites of all their transgressions under the names of the greatest sins of that kind: as cruelty and oppression under the name of murder: all manner of deceit under the name of theft: all kinds of uncleanness under the name of whoring and adultery. And this he doth: Reason. The First First, to give us to understand, that howsoever we make small account of these sins, yet in his sight unjust anger is no better then murder; deceit though never so cunningly cloaked no better then theft; and unlawful lusts are reputed in his estimate, adultery, as our Saviour also expoundeth the law. Mat. 5.2
