The whole duty of a communicant eing rules and directions for a worthy receiving the most holy sacrament of the Lord's Supper. By the right reverend Father in God, John Gauden, late Lord Bishop of Exeter. He being dead yet speaketh.

VII. Commandment.

Thou shalt not commit Adultery.

Lord have mercy upon me, and incline my heart to keep this Law.

Self examination by the VII. Commandment.

If I have not actually committed Adultery or Fornication; yet,

Have I not pleased my sancy with loose and wanton imaginations, and suffered unchast thoughts so long to dwell in my heart, till by the corrupt bent of its concupiscence, have grown into unruly lusts which war against the Soul?

Have not my eyes betrayed my heart se∣cretly to lust, and sinfully to enjoy that which was unlawful, and have I not made use of those provocations which lead to chambering and wantonness?

Have not I used my self to filthy and ob∣scene talking; to all manner of effeminacy and unchast behaviour, forgetting those threat∣nings which are pronounced in Scripture, that Whoremongers and Adulterers God will judge?

Lord have mercy upon me, and pardon the

breach of this Commandment.
