§. 40. n. 3.

1. That amongst the works of the Flesh these sins of Ʋncleanness are usually set in the Front. See Gal. 5.19. The works of the flesh are manifest which are these; Adultery, Fornication, Ʋncleanness, Lasciviousness, &c. Again, Col. 3.5. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; that is, Fornication, Ʋncleanness, inordinate Af∣fection, evil Concupiscence, &c. After which in the se∣cond place, Vers. 8. follow, Anger, wrath, malice, evil speaking or blaspemy. Again, 1. Cor. 6.9. Be not deceived: neither Fornicators, nor Idolaters, nor Adulterers, nor effemi∣nate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind &c, shall inherit the kingdome of God. Rom. 1.29. Being filled with all un∣righteousness; Fornication, &c; See the like 1. Cor. 5.10, 11. —1. Pet. 4.3. —2. Pet. 2.10. Still you see these sins as the greatest darlings of the flesh lead the whole band. And these sins of Lust are they, with which the Gentiles every where stand principally charged before the Light of

the Gospel shone amongst them. See Rom. 1.25, 26, 27. 1. Thess. 4, 5. Eph. 4.19; and which are ordinarily linked together with that of Idolatry. See 1. Cor. 5.10, 11. —6, 9. Rev. 22.15. (being a usual companion of their Idol-feasts) or with 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; whether this be taken for the coveting of persons as some understand it, or of riches, which is said to be Idolatry too, Eph. 5.3.5. Col. 3.5. These two, Harlots and Money, being the two great Idols in this lower world; the one or the other of which steal away mens hearts.
