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 jerusalem_n act._n 15.29_o because_o the_o gentile_n do_v not_o think_v that_o to_o be_v any_o sin_n fornicatio_fw-la autem_fw-la prohibetur_fw-la specialiter_fw-la quia_fw-la gentes_fw-la non_fw-la reputabant_fw-la eam_fw-la esse_fw-la peceatum_fw-la as_o q._n 103._o a._n 4._o ad_fw-la 3._o so_o that_o the_o apostle_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v here_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v such_o cleanness_n and_o holiness_n ought_v to_o be_v in_o your_o conversation_n that_o you_o ought_v to_o abstain_v not_o only_o from_o those_o high_a and_o most_o gross_a act_n of_o uncleanness_n which_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 apostle_n in_o require_v to_o flee_v fornication_n though_o in_o the_o strict_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n have_v speak_v as_o full_o and_o effectual_o as_o if_o he_o have_v either_o particular_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 be_v which_o we_o be_v here_o by_o the_o apostle_n require_v to_o flee_v which_o be_v the_o first_o part_n of_o our_o undertake_n ii_o proceed_v we_o now_o to_o the_o second_o which_o be_v to_o show_v how_o it_o be_v that_o we_o be_v to_o flee_v this_o sin_n and_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o be_v to_o flee_v it_o two_o way_n in_o action_n and_o in_o affection_n first_o we_o be_v to_o flee_v it_o in_o action_n that_o be_v we_o be_v neither_o to_o act_v it_o nor_o any_o thing_n of_o it_o in_o our_o body_n but_o we_o be_v to_o preserve_v our_o whole_a body_n and_o every_o member_n of_o they_o pure_a and_o chaste_a free_a from_o all_o desilement_n by_o any_o uncleanness_n whatsoever_o not_o think_v it_o enough_o that_o we_o do_v not_o commit_v uncleanness_n with_o our_o body_n in_o the_o act_n itself_o of_o carnal_a copulation_n unless_o we_o do_v also_o abstain_v from_o all_o filthy_a act_n with_o any_o part_n of_o our_o body_n as_o our_o eye_n tongue_n ear_n or_o hand_n we_o must_v flee_v fornication_n with_o our_o eye_n we_o must_v have_v chaste_a eye_n not_o sill_z our_o eye_n with_o adultery_n like_o those_o in_o 2_o pet._n 2.14_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o look_v upon_o a_o woman_n to_o lust_n after_o she_o mat._n 5.28_o rather_o pluck_v out_o our_o right_a eye_n than_o be_v so_o far_o scandalize_v by_o they_o as_o be_v bring_v by_o they_o to_o offend_v in_o this_o way_n no_o roll_a look_n no_o wanton_a glance_n must_v be_v cast_v out_o to_o entice_v unto_o lust_n we_o must_v flee_v fornication_n with_o our_o tongue_n abstain_v from_o all_o tempt_a of_o other_o of_o sin_n by_o any_o statter_a blandishment_n from_o speak_v any_o obscene_a filthy_a bawdy_a word_n so_o the_o apostle_n charge_v the_o ephesian_n chap._n 5._o v._n 3_o &_o 4._o fornication_n and_o all_o other_o uncleanness_n or_o covetousness_n that_o be_v of_o act_v inordinate_a lust_n let_v it_o not_o once_o be_v name_v among_o you_o as_o become_v saint_n neither_o

thing_n that_o do_v not_o become_v saint_n and_o so_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o fornication_n one_o degree_n of_o it_o which_o christian_n be_v to_o fly_v we_o must_v flee_v fornication_n with_o our_o ear_n also_o we_o must_v not_o hearken_v and_o give_v ear_n to_o other_o that_o will_v tempt_v we_o to_o uncleanness_n not_o so_o much_o as_o hear_v they_o any_o such_o thing_n but_o turn_v away_o our_o ear_n from_o and_o be_v deaf_a unto_o any_o such_o motion_n we_o must_v not_o take_v any_o delight_n to_o hear_v the_o obscene_a filthy_a bawdy_a wanton_a word_n and_o song_n of_o other_o by_o which_o the_o coal_n of_o lust_n be_v kindle_v in_o the_o mind_n and_o all_o the_o body_n as_o it_o be_v blow_v up_o into_o a_o flame_n of_o unchaste_a desire_n in_o this_o as_o well_o as_o in_o other_o case_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v regard_n to_o that_o premonition_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o mark_n 4.24_o take_v heed_n what_o you_o hear_v and_o as_o we_o be_v fly_v it_o with_o our_o ear_n so_o with_o our_o hand_n we_o must_v act_v nothing_o of_o unchastity_n with_o they_o but_o must_v abstain_v from_o all_o filthy_a application_n of_o they_o to_o the_o member_n of_o any_o other_o and_o from_o make_v any_o filthy_a sign_n by_o they_o of_o any_o unclean_a desire_n in_o ourselves_o or_o unclean_a deed_n we_o will_v have_v act_v by_o other_o as_o our_o hand_n must_v not_o be_v defile_v with_o blood_n so_o neither_o our_o finger_n with_o iniquity_n if._n 59.3_o but_o if_o our_o right_a hand_n shall_v scandalize_v we_o in_o this_o way_n we_o be_v rather_o to_o cut_v it_o off_o and_o
