Bonaventure, on Exod 20:17

“Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house: neither shalt thou desire his wife, nor his servant, nor his handmaid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is his.”

“That which straightens all affective dispositions is as follows: You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, etc. As Augustine writes, "The law is good, for while prohibiting concupiscence, it also prohibits any evil." But concupiscence is twofold, of the flesh and of cupidity, and the latter is the root of all evil. Hence, in this commandment, the Lawgiver Himself went down to details such as the ass, the slave, the female servant, etc.”
