On a Sunday morning, early in the eighteenth century, Anglican minister James Blair accused male members of his Virginia congregation of attending church "on the purpose that they may feed their lustful Eyes." Criticizing his hearers for unleashing their "Wanton Desires" through "Undecent, Lascivious Glances, and ogling Gestures," Blair called on them to keep their "Hearts ... eagerly intent upon Devotion" so as to "keep out the Wandring both of Eyes and Heart." James Blair was not the only Virginia minister worried about the "irregular Wandring" of his parishioners' eyes and minds during weekly services
