Thomas Boston, Works, 2:277:

God knows the heart, and therefore his laws reach the heart, and he will judge for heart sins. We must keep our minds pure, that the thoughts be not led astray and corrupted. Hence Job “made a covenant with his eyes,” chap. 31:1. And we must keep our affections pure, that they be not vitiated. Job saw this when he appeals to God, “If mine heart have been deceived by a woman,” ver. 9. This is to be pure before God, who seeth in secret, and searcheth the hidden things of darkness. The least glance over this hedge is a crime.
