Ye adulterers] There is a double adulterie mentioned in the Word of God; the one is usually called spirituall adulterie, whereby or when as a man or woman forsaking God, bestows his love upon the creature, or the world. See Jeremiah 13:27. Ezek. 23. 44, 45. Hosea 2:2. The other is usually called corporall adultery, whereof there are severall degrees; as first, adulterous thoughts, and inward burnings, Matthew 5:28. 1 Corinthians 7:9. 2 Peter 2:20. Secondly, wanton words, Ephesians 4:29. Thirdly, lascivious gestures, Proverbs 5:20. & Proverbs 7:13. Jeremiah 5:8. Fourthly, the act it self, Deuteronomy 23:17. Leviticus 19:29. Some understand this place of the former; others, of the latter, which is the more probable opinion, because of the words following. the friendship] 1 John 2:15. Matthew 6:24, 2 Corinthians 6:15.
