general_a dehortation_n from_o all_o kind_n of_o sin_n for_o lust_n be_v the_o general_a name_n for_o they_o all_o not_o only_o against_o adultery_n and_o wantonness_n which_o be_v the_o most_o natural_a meaning_n of_o lust_n but_o against_o pride_n and_o envy_n and_o oath_n and_o blasphemy_n and_o every_o other_o sin_n for_o he_o will_v not_o have_v the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v free_a from_o one_o sin_n and_o defile_v themselves_o with_o another_o free_a from_o adultery_n but_o defile_v with_o drunkenness_n or_o free_a from_o drunkenness_n but_o defile_v with_o envy_n but_o he_o will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v entire_o holy_a and_o as_o in_o the_o first_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n he_o will_v they_o to_o lay_v aside_o all_o dissimulation_n all_o maliciousness_n all_o evil_a speak_n so_o here_o he_o will_n they_o to_o abstain_v from_o all_o sin_n what_o be_v it_o unto_o thy_o health_n if_o thou_o be_v free_a from_o one_o disease_n and_o thy_o body_n infect_v with_o

as_o another_o sin_n reign_v within_o thou_o but_o if_o thou_o can_v sweep_v away_o these_o lust_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o speak_v of_o than_o thou_o be_v cleanse_v of_o all_o thy_o disease_n

to_o be_v more_o particular_a as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v counsel_v these_o christian_n to_o abstain_v especial_o from_o such_o lust_n as_o the_o gentile_n among_o who_o they_o live_v be_v

and_o there_o to_o make_v just_a trial_n what_o special_a sin_n they_o do_v feel_v to_o rage_v most_o within_o they_o and_o thereof_o they_o shall_v especial_o labour_v to_o purge_v themselves_o for_o
