need_v not_o stand_v upon_o such_o nicety_n in_o distinguish_v between_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a but_o it_o may_v be_v inquire_v why_o do_v the_o murderer_n kill_v the_o poor_a what_o do_v he_o

ancient_o say_v the_o empty_a traveller_n will_v sing_v before_o the_o thief_n why_o then_o shall_v the_o thief_n or_o the_o murderer_n meddle_v with_o especial_o why_o shall_v he_o kill_v the_o

extreme_a wickedness_n of_o the_o murderer_n who_o do_v not_o care_n so_o much_o for_o booty_n as_o for_o blood_n it_o be_v for_o that_o he_o thirst_v his_o delight_n be_v in_o cruelty_n therefore_o he_o kill_v the_o very_a poor_a and_o needy_a the_o next_o man_n he_o meet_v with_o let_v he_o be_v what_o he_o will_n it_o be_v the_o sin_n itself_o or_o to_o do_v wicked_o which_o some_o man_n

reward_n enough_o for_o they_o hence_o note_v some_o will_v do_v wicked_o though_o they_o get_v nothing_o by_o it_o all_o the_o true_a servant_n of_o god_n love_v the_o work_n which_o he_o set_v they_o better_o than_o the_o reward_n which_o he_o give_v they_o and_o so_o do_v some_o servant_n of_o the_o devil_n even_o the_o devil_n have_v servant_n who_o scorn_v to_o be_v mercenary_a the_o act_n of_o sin_n be_v sweet_a to_o they_o then_o any_o profit_n that_o sin_n can_v bring_v in_o they_o be_v exact_a and_o perfect_a sinner_n who_o sin_n out_o of_o love_n to_o the_o very_a act_n of_o

answer_v by_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a we_o may_v here_o understand_v the_o innocent_a and_o honest_a not_o as_o if_o all_o who_o be_v poor_a and_o needy_a be_v also_o innocent_a for_o there_o be_v many_o wicked_a poor_a nor_o as_o if_o all_o who_o be_v innocent_a be_v also_o poor_a and_o needy_a for_o there_o be_v many_o godly_a rich_a but_o because_o usual_o they_o be_v so_o man_n that_o be_v rich_a and_o great_a may_v be_v innocent_a and_o holy_a but_o these_o be_v rare_a conjunction_n usual_o the_o innocent_a be_v poor_a and_o needy_a again_o we_o be_v not_o to_o take_v the_o poor_a and_o needy_a for_o they_o who_o as_o we_o say_v have_v not_o a_o penny_n to_o buy_v they_o bread_n but_o by_o the_o poor_a we_o understand_v those_o of_o the_o middle_n or_o rather_o inferior_a rank_n such_o poor_a and_o needy_a they_o kill_v but_o what_o be_v their_o quarrel_n at_o they_o first_o because_o such_o poor_a honest_a man_n stand_v in_o the_o light_n of_o wicked_a man_n that_o be_v the_o wicked_a can_v be_v so_o wicked_a as_o they_o will_v because_o some_o good_a man_n be_v near_o they_o and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o world_n that_o they_o may_v be_v out_o of_o their_o way_n or_o second_o because_o such_o poor_a honest_a man_n either_o have_v give_v or_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v evidence_n or_o be_v witness_n against_o they_o before_o the_o magistrate_n now_o either_o to_o prevent_v or_o revenge_v this_o they_o rise_v with_o the_o light_n and_o kill_v the_o poor_a and_o needy_a hence_o observe_v that_o a_o wicked_a man_n will_v do_v his_o utmost_a to_o remove_v those_o who_o stand_v in_o his_o way_n or_o oppose_v he_o in_o his_o wickedness_n he_o will_v kill_v some_o that_o he_o may_v vex_v other_o that_o be_v his_o aim_n here_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a be_v not_o his_o utmost_a aim_n but_o the_o poor_a and_o needy_a stand_n in_o his_o way_n they_o hinder_v he_o in_o his_o other_o project_n and_o whatsoever_o interpose_v between_o he_o and_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o his_o lust_n he_o will_v remove_v it_o if_o he_o can_v and_o as_o he_o will_v kill_v some_o that_o he_o may_v vex_v other_o so_o he_o will_v much_o rather_o kill_v those_o who_o vex_v he_o holy_a david_n be_v leave_v under_o the_o power_n of_o a_o strong_a temptation_n slay_v vriah_n a_o innocent_a man_n only_o because_o he_o can_v not_o persuade_v he_o to_o do_v that_o which_o may_v have_v be_v some_o cover_n of_o his_o sin_n from_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n how_o much_o more_o will_v the_o profane_a do_v so_o when_o honest_a man_n do_v either_o profess_o oppose_v they_o in_o their_o sinful_a work_n or_o discover_v the_o sinfullnes_n of_o they_o further_o in_o that_o job_n upon_o the_o fresh_a account_n which_o he_o give_v of_o the_o

the_o greatness_n of_o this_o sin_n of_o murder_n and_o demonstrate_v how_o great_a a_o sinner_n the_o murderer_n be_v the_o murderer_n be_v a_o sinner_n of_o the_o high_a form_n and_o there_o be_v two_o scripture_n consideration_n in_o general_a upon_o which_o we_o may_v make_v this_o out_o first_o how_o sinful_a be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o murder_v a_o man_n when_o as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o if_o a_o beast_n kill_v a_o man_n he_o must_v suffer_v for_o it_o exod._n 21.28_o if_o a_o ox_n gore_v a_o man_n or_o a_o woman_n that_o they_o die_v the_o ox_n shall_v be_v sure_o

who_o be_v not_o proper_o under_o any_o law_n must_v die_v for_o transgress_v this_o law_n thou_o shall_v not_o kill_v and_o this_o sure_o first_o to_o convince_v man_n of_o the_o greatness_n of_o this_o sin_n second_o to_o admonish_v he_o lest_o he_o commit_v this_o sin_n three_o to_o assure_v he_o that_o if_o he_o do_v he_o must_v die_v for_o if_o a_o beast_n must_v die_v for_o kill_v a_o man_n then_o much_o more_o must_v man_n see_v that_o law_n against_o the_o kill_n of_o a_o man_n be_v give_v to_o man_n not_o to_o beast_n second_o the_o lord_n give_v a_o rule_n to_o the_o jew_n what_o to_o do_v for_o the_o remove_n of_o the_o guilt_n of_o blood_n in_o case_n a_o man_n be_v find_v slay_v and_o no_o man_n can_v tell_v who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o that_o murder_n read_v
