A57599	Loyalty and peace, or, Two seasonable discourses from I Sam. 24, 5 viz., David's heart smote him because he cut off Saul's skirt : the first of conscience and its smitings, the second of the prodigious impiety of murthering King Charles I, intended to promote sincere devotion and humiliation upon each anniversary fast for the Late King's death / by Samuel Rolls.	Rolle, Samuel, fl. 1657-1678.	1678 (1678)	Wing R1880; ESTC R25524	110,484	255

Sam. 3.13 There is a Saying that would bear hard in this case Qui non prohbet cum potest jubet 2. Some did not enough deprecate the death of the King which every one was able to have done though many could do nothing else but that to promote it The old Armor of Christians which are Prayers and Tears ought to have been taken up by all men and managed to the best advantage for the defence of his Majesty's life If that were not done you were remotely accessary to his death 3. If you did not sufficiently lay that to heart mourn over and bewail it you are in some degree guilty concerning it So had Lot been of the sins of Sodom if he had not vexed his righteous soul with the ungodly conversation of that place as he is said to have done 2 Pet. 2.8 The Apostle chargeth the Corinthians concerning the Incestuous man 1 Cor. 5.2 saying Ye are puffed up and have not rather mourned that he who hath done this thing might be taken away from among you God sent his Angel as we read Ezek 9.4 to set a mark of preservation upon the foreheads of the men that sighed and cried for the abominations done in the midst of Jerusalem and upon them only as who should say the rest were involved in the common guilt 4. If we have not duly reproved and reprehended such as had a hand in the King's death according to what opportunities we have had so to do labouring to convince them of the horrible evil and sin of which they were guilty and to call them to repentance then are we in part guilty of and accessary to it our selves So much is intended in that passage of the Apostle Eph. 5.11 Have no fellowship with the fruits of darkness but rather reprove them implying that they who reprove them not are reckoned by God to have part or fellowship with them 5. If we have not sufficiently detested the putting of the King to death and seasonably entred a Protestation against it surely we are in part guilty of it David hath an expression to that purpose Psal 101.3 I hate the work of them that turn aside it shall not cleave to me intimating that the only way to have nothing of other mens turnings aside or sins to cleave to him was for him to hate their wayes and as for entring our protest against other mens sins see how careful Joshuah was to clear himself by doing that Josh 24 14 15. Put away the gods which your Fathers served in Egypt and serve ye the Lord. And if it seem evil to serve the Lord chuse ye this day whom ye will serve but as for me I and my house will serve the Lord. 6. They who do any ways provoke stir up or encourage others to a sin the acting whereof they themselves do not touch with the least of their fingers are for that reason guilty of that sin Witness that most remarkable passage Exod. 32.35 The Lord plagued the people because they made the Calf that Aaron made The people are said to have made it because they put Aaron upon the making of it 7. They who were any ways contributing and assisting towards the death of the King though ignorantly and far from intentionally or to any of those things which did make way for the acting and accomplishing of that bloody Tragedy were in part accessary to his death As the men who broke off the golden ear-rings which were in the ears of their wives and daughters and brought them to Aaron therewith to make a golden Calf are therefore said to have made that Calf though they made it not a Calf but only Aaron gave it a form and shape Exod. 32.20 And Moses took the Calf which they i. e. the people had made and burnt it Causa causae est causa causati is an old Rule 8. We become guilty of the sins of other men which we imitate and follow for in so doing we do as it were vouch vindicate and justifie them Luke 11 49 50 said the Wisdom of God I will send them Prophets and Apostles and some of them they shall slay and persecute That the blood of all the Prophets which was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this Generation c. 9. Lastly to name no more at this time We may be guilty of other mens sins and so of murthering the King in particular Deme rendo by our other sins whereby we have provoked God to let so great a judgment for it may be considered as a judgment as well as a sin befal the Nation Witness that pat Text 2 Sam. 24.1 And again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel and he moved David against them to say Go number Israel and Judah Now quit himself who can from all those remote ways of accessoriness to the late Kings death Now I am very prone to think that the Accessoriness of men to the sins of others in such way and manner as hath been expressed is one of the best accounts that can be given why God punisheth some men for other mens sins ex gr Israel and Judah for David's numbring of the people 2 Sam. 24. Particularly for men's justifying the sins of others by treading in their steps and doing wickedly as they did before them which is very provoking to God witness Deut. 32.13 14. The Lords anger was kindled against Israel and he made them wander in the wilderness forty years c. And behold ye are risen up in your Fathers stead an increase of sinful men to augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord against Israel Possibly one main reason of God's imputing Original sin to any besides him that committed it and whose actual sin it was is because men do justifie the same by their actual transgressions For if Adam did not do well in doing what God had forbad him why do we the same thing presuming from day to day to eat as it were of forbidden fruit Yea I do verily believe that God never did and never will impute Original sin to the eternal condemnation of any one person male or female that hath not or shall not rise up and justifie the same by his or her actual transgressions But now lest the hearts of them who were primarily immediately intentionally and wilfully guilty of murthering King Charles the First should be hardned by hearing that almost every body had remotely or indirectly a hand or finger in the death of that good King give me leave to tell you that there is no comparison betwixt the greatness of their guilt who are the principal Actors the wilful and deliberate Contrivers and Executots of such a bloody fact as that was and of others who by some of the ways before-mentioned are become sore against their will and intentions and beyond all that they could ever imagine in some sort Accessary to and remotely concern'd in it and at a great distance guilty of the same It
