wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. And every

themselves in water, and be unclean until the even. And if any man lie

days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean. And if a woman
have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation,
or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the
issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation; she
shall be unclean. This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him

sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man and of
the woman, and of him that lieth with her which is unclean. Leviticus

you. Deut. xxii. 15, 20, 21.

220 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections; _for even
their women did change the natural use into that which is against
nature_; and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the
