2. Actual lust, so it signifieth any evil motion of the heart that swerveth from the Law of God, more especially our inordinate desires and inclinations to pleasures, honours or profit; sometimes they are called fleshly lusts, 1 Pet. 2. 11. as carrying us out to the satisfaction of our bodily and brutish appetites; sometimes worldly lusts, Tit 2. 12. because they are stirred by worldly objects; lusts are the fever of the soul, unnatural heats, transgressing the Laws of reason, and bounds of Religion.
