Either mote proprio, by ones own motion and inclination : or a.confenfn alien, by the per- fwafionofanother, and they both come to one and the fame. Again it is pra&ifed, either with a mans own felt corpusfuumfecum, which itr called µcAmoda,or olxaSapára, effceminatenefs or wantonnefi ; or with another : and if withanother, it is that which is called aépin1or CJiauypea,the abomination not tobe na- med,with beaft or mankind, andwith mankind,it is either willingly,or unwillingly: The party patient not confenting,it iscalled raptus,a rape;which maybe with either fex,for there maybea rape inboth : or elfeagreeing;and this either withmale or fe- male; withmale, fuch an oneis called ,iprroxollnt,one that defiles himfelfwithman !find, r Cor.6.9. r Tim.r:ro. and this fin iscommonly called Sodomy,or the fin ofSo- dom.With female,either with oneor more:with more,if there be a pretence of Mar- riage, it is Polygamy; ifwithout any pretence thereof, it isfcortatio, whoredom. If with one, it is either in wedlock, and then it is called fervor, excefe of lugf. For there is a fault even inMatrimony,as St.Ansbroja faith, Nimius amator uxors propri eft adulter, a man may commit adultery with his own wife ; or it is out of Matri- mony, either with aparty allied, which is inceft ; or with a firanger, not allied; and then we confider her, eitheras nupta, married to another, or as Joluta,free ;if married, pr defponfata, betrothed (for all isone) then it is Adultery. And this is a. When both are married, which is worft ofall. 2. When thewoman only ismarried, and theman tingle. 3. Whenthe man is only married, and the woman tingle. The fecond is a greater evil than thethird, becaufe in it thereis, corruptioprolix, an adulterating of the¡true begotten. If one be free and unmarried, either he retains one peculiar to himfelf, and then fhe is not a common Ilrumpet,but aconcubine ; orelfe the4 is not this continual keep- ing ; and then if the be not common, it isffuprum, devirrination, whether the be a virgin or awidow, efpecially if fhe be a virgin; if the be colntmon, it is fornication properly, though that name be given toall. Befides thefe, the a& is either once committed or often iterated ; and then for diftin&ion fake,we may call it luxuriam,letchery inthe habit; and the partyawhore= monger, when he fees himfelfafter it : or that (which is beyond this) as therewas Gen. i g clamor Sodamitarum,fo there is clamor adulteril, the cryof adultery, when they dare impudently defend it. Laft ofall there is Permifon, and that is either private, ofa particular perfon for his daughter'or wife, or any ofhis kinred, which is called. Pro- jiitution: or elfe publick ofa Magiftrate, in permitting and tolerating flews, as at Rome, andother places. Thefe are the particular branches of the fin prohibited in this Commandment.
