Commandment VII.
[When this Figure thou hast ey'd]
VII. Thou shalt not Commit adulterie, &c.
When this Figure thou hast ey'd,
Think how these two Wantons dy'd,
And what horror was therein,
When Death took them in their Sin,
Hurrying them from their delight,
To an Everlasting Night.

To an Everlasting Night.
Mind it well, and mind it so,
That thou still may'st careful grow,
From those evils to be free,
Which this Law forbids to thee.
