demonstrater_fw-la this_o three_o way_n by_o show_v how_o many_o may_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n that_o one_o commit_v first_o accessary_o second_o occasional_o three_o political_o for_o the_o first_o many_o may_v be_v guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n act_v by_o one_o accessary_o when_o the_o actor_n be_v further_v in_o his_o sin_n by_o the_o consent_n and_o privity_n of_o another_o and_o that_o either_o à_fw-la parte_fw-la antè_fw-la or_o à_fw-la parte_fw-la post_fw-la first_o antè_fw-la three_o way_n either_o by_o command_v it_o so_o david_n kill_v uriah_n the_o hittite_n with_o the_o sword_n of_o the_o child_n of_o ammon_n 2_o sam._n 12._o because_o he_o command_v joab_n to_o set_v he_o in_o the_o forefront_n second_o by_o counsel_v so_o the_o high_a priest_n be_v say_v with_o cruel_a hand_n to_o kill_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n because_o they_o counsel_v the_o people_n to_o cry_v crucify_v he_o crucify_v he_o act_n 4._o three_o by_o provoke_v or_o entice_a and_o so_o eve_n be_v in_o the_o transgression_n and_o not_o adam_n because_o she_o incite_v he_o thereto_o gen._n 3._o second_o à_fw-la parte_fw-la post_fw-la though_o he_o have_v no_o notice_n of_o it_o before_o and_o that_o first_o by_o consent_v after_o the_o fact_n be_v do_v so_o ahab_n be_v say_v to_o kill_v naboth_n because_o after_o jesaball_n have_v do_v it_o without_o his_o knowledge_n he_o consent_v by_o take_v possession_n of_o his_o estate_n second_o by_o defend_v it_o so_o the_o benjamite_n judge_n 20._o be_v guilty_a and_o punish_v for_o the_o rape_n of_o gibeah_n though_o they_o know_v not_o of_o it_o before_o because_o they_o defend_v they_o against_o the_o execution_n of_o justice_n after_o it_o be_v commit_v three_o by_o connive_v and_o that_o either_o by_o not_o reprove_v if_o we_o have_v place_n to_o do_v it_o so_o the_o minister_n be_v guilty_a of_o his_o people_n fin_n ezek._n 3._o if_o thou_o reprove_v he_o not_o his_o blood_n will_v i_o require_v at_o thy_o hand_n or_o not_o sorrow_v for_o it_o if_o no_o place_n of_o reproof_n so_o all_o the_o corinthian_n be_v leaven_v because_o the_o apostle_n tell_v they_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v sorrow_v and_o do_v not_o all_o these_o way_n may_v a_o whole_a nation_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o sin_n of_o one_o man_n and_o yet_o none_o of_o these_o way_n be_v israel_n guilty_a of_o achan_n sin_n the_o second_o kind_n of_o guilt_n be_v occasional_a guilt_n which_o be_v when_o the_o actor_n be_v further_v in_o his_o sin_n without_o our_o purpose_n privity_n or_o consent_n as_o david_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o

culpable_a occasional_a guilt_n be_v when_o another_o be_v further_v in_o his_o sin_n by_o that_o which_o be_v material_o or_o formal_o evil_a in_o we_o which_o culpable_a guilt_n be_v either_o by_o not_o restrain_v or_o further_n of_o it_o occasional_o first_o we_o be_v guilty_a occasional_o for_o not_o restrain_v sin_n so_o eli_n of_o his_o son_n sin_n 1_o sam._n 3._o because_o they_o run_v themselves_o into_o a_o slander_n and_o he_o restrain_v they_o not_o and_o that_o first_o when_o we_o neglect_v to_o restrain_v it_o by_o authority_n so_o when_o the_o people_n in_o nebemiahs_n time_n bear_v burden_n on_o the_o sabbath_n nehemiah_n say_v to_o the_o ruler_n what_o thing_n be_v this_o that_o you_o do_v in_o break_v the_o sabbath_n in_o bear_v burden_n because_o they_o restrain_v not_o the_o porter_n therefrom_o second_o by_o neglect_v of_o vigilancy_n in_o watch_v to_o keep_v each_o other_o from_o it_o and_o so_o i_o conceive_v all_o israel_n be_v guilty_a of_o achan_n fin_n for_o not_o watch_v over_o he_o and_o restrain_v he_o from_o the_o same_o i_o know_v other_o reason_n be_v give_v but_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o best_a ground_v from_o the_o text_n both_o because_o god_n tell_v they_o beforehand_o chap._n 6._o verse_n 18._o that_o though_o all_o but_o one_o abstain_v yet_o if_o any_o one_o do_v offend_v he_o will_v punish_v they_o all_o for_o it_o second_o the_o precept_n be_v not_o only_o cavete_fw-la take_v heed_n but_o custodite_fw-la set_v a_o watch_n about_o other_o which_o have_v they_o do_v it_o have_v be_v impossible_a but_o some_o
