v._o 3._o we_o be_v to_o understand_v universal_a holiness_n so_o by_o fornication_n in_o the_o former_a verse_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v universal_a uncleanness_n the_o question_n now_o be_v in_o what_o sense_n the_o word_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o text_n whether_o in_o the_o strict_a or_o large_a acceptation_n of_o it_o as_o it_o mean_v simple_a fornication_n or_o any_o uncleanness_n in_o general_n and_o to_o that_o i_o answer_v that_o according_a to_o my_o apprehension_n the_o apostle_n do_v direct_v his_o discourse_n against_o simple_a or_o proper_o so_o call_v fornication_n and_o that_o in_o that_o sense_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v it_o not_o as_o if_o the_o apostle_n be_v not_o against_o all_o act_n of_o uncleanness_n and_o have_v not_o as_o much_o mind_n to_o forbid_v they_o as_o this_o but_o because_o whereas_o other_o act_n of_o uncleanness_n as_o adultery_n increst_n sodomy_n and_o even_a rape_n be_v account_v sin_n by_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o and_o unlawful_a yet_o this_o simple_a fornication_n or_o the_o carnal_a copulation_n of_o two_o single_a person_n be_v not_o look_v upon_o by_o they_o as_o unlawful_a or_o any_o sin_n and_o even_o the_o christian_n of_o those_o time_n be_v by_o the_o gnostick_n heretic_n then_o rife_o in_o the_o church_n attempt_v to_o be_v abuse_v into_o the_o like_a apprehension_n of_o it_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n as_o aquinas_n give_v it_o why_o fornication_n be_v particular_o forbid_v the_o gentile_n in_o that_o canon_n frame_v by_o the_o council_n of_o the_o apostle_n assemble_v at_o

you_o do_v condemn_v as_o incest_n adultery_n buggery_n etc._n etc._n but_o even_o from_o that_o low_a and_o most_o simple_a act_n of_o it_o which_o be_v know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o fornication_n and_o which_o you_o do_v allow_v of_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o that_o you_o be_v not_o incestuous_a person_n sodomist_n bugger_n or_o adulterer_n but_o you_o must_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v fornicator_n you_o must_v flee_v this_o too_o as_o well_o as_o they_o now_o hence_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o fornication_n the_o low_a sort_n of_o uncleanness_n that_o wherein_o there_o be_v think_v to_o be_v no_o sin_n if_o that_o must_v be_v avoid_v if_o not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o man_n or_o indulge_v to_o christian_n then_o much_o less_o may_v any_o of_o the_o other_o sin_n of_o a_o deep_a guilt_n and_o of_o a_o more_o heinous_a nature_n be_v dare_v to_o be_v commit_v but_o must_v be_v utter_o decline_v and_o abstain_v from_o so_o that_o the_o

require_v to_o flee_v every_o other_o act_n of_o uncleanness_n or_o have_v in_o general_n command_v to_o flee_v and_o abstain_v from_o they_o all_o and_o thus_o we_o have_v show_v what_o the_o sin_n
