The negatiue part.

Thou shalt not couet that which is thy neighbours.

Here are prohibited:

I. Concupiscence it selfe, namely, originall corruption, in as much as it is hurtfull to our neighbour. Iam. 1.14.
II. Each corrupt and sudden cogitation & passion of the heart, springing out of the bitter roote of concupiscence. Gal. 5.17. The flesh lusteth against the spirit. Luk. 10.27. Thou shalt loue the Lord with all thy soule. To this place ap∣pertaineth Satans suggestion, if after the first offer it be entertained and recei∣ued in the closet of the heart.
III. The least cogitation and motion, the which, though it procure not consent, delighteth and tickleth the heart. Of this kinde are these foolish wi∣shes: I would such an house were mine, such a liuing, such a thing, &c. And hitherto may we referre all vnchast dreames, arising from concupiscence.
