uncleanness_n be_v more_o diligent_o to_o be_v avoid_v when_o the_o very_a thought_n and_o desire_n of_o it_o be_v so_o abundant_o sinful_a so_o the_o apostle_n advise_v we_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o fashion_v ourselves_o according_a to_o our_o former_a lust_n but_o to_o be_v holy_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o conversation_n 1_o pet._n 1.14_o that_o we_o shall_v not_o make_v provision_n for_o the_o flesh_n to_o fulfil_v the_o lust_n thereof_o rom._n 13.14_o so_o st._n paul_n again_o 1_o thess_n 4.3_o bid_v we_o abstain_v from_o fornication_n that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v know_v how_o to_o possess_v his_o vessel_n i.e._n his_o body_n in_o honour_n and_o he_o tell_v we_o further_o that_o fornicator_n shall_v not_o inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n from_o all_o which_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o whatever_o the_o libertine_n may_v further_o object_v the_o papist_n may_v as_o well_o make_v murder_n or_o incest_n to_o be_v venial_a sin_n as_o fornication_n and_o as_o for_o the_o pope_n licence_n and_o indulgence_n for_o it_o it_o will_v stand_v we_o in_o little_a stead_n unless_o he_o can_v let_v a_o man_n into_o heaven_n for_o that_o for_o which_o god_n have_v plain_o declare_v he_o will_v keep_v he_o out_o obj._n 1_o but_o some_o object_n that_o simple_a fornication_n be_v no_o sin_n because_o it_o be_v not_o forbid_v in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n against_o our_o neighbour_n and_o so_o reducible_a to_o the_o second_o table_n but_o this_o be_v the_o consent_n of_o two_o person_n voluntary_o to_o a_o act_n and_o then_o volenti_fw-la non_fw-la fit_a injuria_fw-la they_o injure_v no_o body_n and_o so_o consequent_o this_o can_v be_v no_o sin_n against_o our_o neighbour_n to_o this_o may_v be_v answer_v 1._o that_o all_o sin_n be_v not_o against_o god_n or_o our_o neighbour_n for_o there_o be_v some_o against_o a_o man_n own_o self_n as_o be_v all_o such_o as_o be_v against_o the_o dignity_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o the_o design_n of_o our_o creation_n as_o drunkenness_n immoderate_a anger_n etc._n etc._n and_o be_v reducible_a to_o the_o second_o table_n either_o as_o the_o cause_n incentives_n or_o lesser_a degree_n of_o those_o grosser_n sin_n which_o be_v there_o specify_v so_o anger_n be_v reducible_a to_o murder_n because_o it_o be_v so_o frequent_o the_o parent_n of_o it_o drunkenness_n and_o other_o intemperance_n to_o adultery_n because_o it_o be_v a_o incentive_a of_o it_o and_o so_o likewise_o fornication_n and_o all_o other_o uncleanness_n to_o the_o same_o commandment_n because_o they_o be_v great_a or_o lesser_a degree_n of_o that_o vice_n which_o be_v there_o prohibit_v 2._o but_o this_o sin_n be_v a_o sin_n against_o a_o man_n neighbour_n as_o well_o as_o against_o himself_o it_o be_v a_o injury_n to_o the_o relation_n and_o family_n of_o the_o person_n thus_o abuse_v it_o be_v a_o injury_n to_o the_o public_a by_o despise_v legal_a matrimony_n and_o contribute_v to_o the_o birth_n of_o spurious_a child_n it_o be_v a_o injury_n to_o the_o person_n of_o each_o other_o by_o dishonour_v their_o body_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v and_o further_a they_o in_o the_o commission_n of_o a_o know_a sin_n obj._n 2._o other_o say_v in_o favour_n of_o fornication_n and_o other_o uncleanness_n that_o they_o be_v thing_n they_o can_v help_v that_o their_o temptation_n be_v so_o strong_a upon_o they_o that_o there_o be_v no_o resist_v they_o and_o let_v they_o use_v all_o the_o reason_n and_o argument_n they_o can_v against_o they_o yet_o still_o they_o will_v prevail_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v as_o good_a they_o think_v to_o make_v no_o opposition_n at_o all_o as_o to_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v foil_v in_o the_o enterprise_n but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o hope_v when_o they_o say_v they_o can_v help_v it_o they_o be_v not_o necessitate_v or_o force_v to_o such_o a_o action_n for_o that_o be_v what_o we_o call_v a_o rape_n or_o that_o they_o be_v necessitate_v to_o they_o as_o they_o be_v to_o eat_v or_o to_o drink_v all_o that_o they_o can_v mean_v by_o it_o be_v that_o they_o have_v strong_a inclination_n to_o they_o which_o will_v cost_v they_o some_o trouble_n to_o conquer_v but_o then_o what_o be_v this_o to_o a_o necessity_n be_v a_o man_n necessitate_v to_o be_v starve_v because_o it_o will_v cost_v he_o some_o pain_n to_o get_v a_o livelihood_n be_v one_o force_v to_o be_v a_o slave_n to_o his_o enemy_n because_o he_o must_v be_v at_o the_o trouble_v of_o encounter_v he_o before_o he_o can_v get_v rid_v of_o he_o why_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n of_o our_o lust_n and_o passion_n we_o must_v struggle_v and_o contend_v with_o they_o master_n and_o subdue_v they_o and_o not_o lazy_o suffer_v they_o to_o get_v the_o better_a of_o we_o when_o with_o a_o little_a strive_v we_o may_v get_v the_o better_a of_o they_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o say_v we_o must_v as_o well_o submit_v to_o these_o appetite_n as_o to_o those_o other_o desire_v of_o meat_n and_o drink_n for_o the_o fulfil_n of_o those_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o subsistence_n of_o nature_n and_o without_o which_o a_o man_n can_v hardly_o live_v a_o day_n but_o i_o dare_v say_v no_o man_n be_v ever_o starve_v by_o chastity_n yet_o after_o all_o if_o the_o man_n inclination_n be_v so_o untameable_a as_o to_o render_v his_o life_n uneasy_a by_o the_o impulse_n of_o continual_a temptation_n by_o the_o weakness_n of_o his_o resolution_n and_o the_o wearisome_a employ_v of_o constant_a watch_v and_o observance_n than_o god_n himself_o have_v provide_v a_o remedy_n for_o this_o the_o holy_a state_n of_o matrimony_n and_o if_o he_o refuse_v to_o make_v use_n of_o this_o mean_n when_o he_o fall_v into_o sin_n it_o be_v at_o his_o own_o peril_n i_o have_v be_v something_o long_o in_o answer_v these_o two_o objection_n because_o they_o be_v the_o top_v once_o of_o the_o debauchee_n by_o which_o they_o will_v excuse_v their_o own_o crime_n and_o betray_v other_o into_o the_o like_a 2._o to_o be_v chaste_a be_v to_o preserve_v the_o marriage_n bed_n undefiled_a this_o be_v a_o duty_n which_o have_v be_v account_v most_o sacred_a and_o inviolable_a in_o all_o age_n and_o nation_n and_o the_o breach_n of_o it_o be_v never_o account_v a_o matter_n of_o mirth_n and_o drollery_n but_o among_o we_o christian_n who_o nevertheless_o to_o our_o shame_n profess_v a_o religion_n which_o establish_v matrimony_n upon_o a_o firm_a foundation_n than_o any_o disagreement_n and_o inequality_n of_o
