4.12 ô my Soule wherefore Theft is Sinne and when Theft is Sinne wherefore Murder is Sinne and when Murder is Sinne and so foorth of all other Sinnes Because GOD hath forbidden them and when GOD forbiddeth them are they not sinnes and not other wayes Hast thou not heard O my Soule that the Israelites spoyled the Aegyptians of all their lewels Exo. 11.2.3 And 12.35.36 Yet I thinke thou wilt neyther accuse nor convict them for their deede and all because that was done of them by the speciall commaundement of His Mouth who can commaund no wrong Yea hast thou not heard ô my Soule that Ebud killed Aeglon Yet thou must thinke Iudges 3.20.21.22 that hee cannot bee reputed a Murderer for that it being done by the secret commission of that Supreame LORD who hath couched all living so under Law that Hee himselfe alone doeth remaine free from all Law yea farre aboue all Law David againe O my Soule beeing a great King amongst men heere hath defiled but the wife of his meane honest Subject yea David hath by the hand of the Ammonite slaine the Husband of this wife defiled by him Alwayes sinneth not David O my soule Yes yes hee sinneth grosselie albeit not against Bathseba whose chastitie was defiled albeit not against Vriah whose life was taken yet hee sinneth against that Mightiest KING who had sayde Thou shalt not commit Adulterie Thou shalt doe no Murder Exodus 20. The sight and sense of this Trueth ô my soule mooved the enlightened mynde the renewed and sanctified heart of the same David to untie his lippes to proclaime aloude before GOD Angels and Men that notable Confession Against Thee against Thee onelie haue I sinned and done evill in Thy sight Psalme 51.4 Hast thou sinned then O my Soule so secretlie that no man knoweth thy sinne Is that partie whome thou by thy knowne and publicke sinne hast offended so base or poore that eyther hee dare not quarrell thee for feare or may not quarrell thee for want of Moyen Yet let neyther of these I pray thee secure thee For Hee is aboue thee whome thou by thy sinne hast provoked to wrath against thee whose Eyes are upon all the wayes of Man and whose Handes bee sufficientlie able to punish Man O my Soule Remember Naboth for thy comfort in these evill dayes Shall not that GOD who required his blood at the hand of his King 1. Kings 11.18.19 make inquisition for everie sinne committed against Him by whatsoever sinner although Hee suffer even wicked men for a long time IF thou loue thy selfe ô my Soule holilie and wiselie to the benefite of mine estate to the comfort of mine heart even while a verie worlde of thornie crosses and temptations shall pricke mee and to my full and finall joye in Heaven I would heartfullie advise thee neyther to commit sinne neyther to communicate with sinne and so neyther directlie to doe that evill which cannot bee called but thine evill neyther anie wayes joyne thy selfe with that evill which thou wouldest account not to be thine but the evill of another Thus I would counsell thee O my Soule not onelie not to bee an Idolater but not to communicate with Idolaters not onelie not to bee an Adulterer but not to take parte with an Adulterer But heere ô my poore weake soule for the better guarding and strengthening of thee on all sides against the poysoned killing Arrowes of Satan thy sworne Enemie I would pray thee grauelie to ponder and weigh three thinges First whereby doeth a man communicate with the Sinnes of others Secondlie wherefore should men bee affrayde anie wayes to communicate with the Sinnes of others Thirdlie what should the honest wise Childe of GOD who shoulde bee ashamed to bee a slaue to Sinne alwayes kything himselfe a strong Souldiour subduing it in this respect resolue to doe Scripture teacheth me ô my Soule that men communicate with the sinnes of others by consultation by direction by approbation by provocation by toleration by confirmation By consultation when they advise another how hee may doe that which is evill albeit themselues doe it not thus vilde Ionadab communicated with the unnaturall incest of Ammon 2. Sam. 13.4.5 2. Sam. 16.20.21 showing him by what way he might easilie lye with his sister Tamar Thus vilde Ahitophell communicated with the monstrous unnaturall incest of Absolom advising him even before the Sunne to lye with his Fathers concubines By direction when men out of respects knowen to themselues will keepe as it were their owne handes from an evill turne and yet command another for to doe it Thus bloodie Saul communicated with the villane Doeg 1. Sam. 22.18 2. Sam. 11.14.15 in slaying the priestes of GOD. Yea alace even David thus communitated with the murther of Vriah for was he not slaine by his direction By approbation when a man knowing that an evill turne is done by another alloweth eyther of the turne or of the doer Thus the rest of Iaakobs sonnes communicated with the bloode of the Sechemites Gen. 34.28.29.30 murthered by Simeon Levi. By provocation when one abusing the place hee is set into or those gifts of mynde or bodie he is beautified with abuseth others so that hee provoaketh them to doe that which is evill Thus Rehoboam communicated with that defection which Israel made from the House of David when hee 1. Kings 12.12.13.14 beeing abused by young Counsellers and abusing that place which GOD had set him into by his austere rigerous speaches provoaked them to just wrath Thus bloodie Iezebell communicated with all the evils done by her husband Ahab For speaketh not the spirit touching him and her thus But there was none like Ahab who did sell himselfe to worke wickednesse in the sight of the LORD 1. Kings 21.25 whom Iezebell his wife provoaked And in this sense Fathers are counselled by the Spirit not to provoake their children to wrath By toleration when a man Ephes 6.4 having authoritie to beare downe sinne by punishing the committers of it overseeth them not drawing that Sword which GOD hath put into His handes against them And thus alace even olde Eli communicated with the abominations of his vilde sonnes who by their uncleane liues 1. Sam. 2 29.30 made the people of GOD to abhorre the LORDS Sacrifice By confirmation when a man haunteth the societie of wicked men so familiarlie so frequentlie that there-by hee strengtheneth the wicked man in his wickednesse Thus the Religious man cōmunicateth with the Atheisme of the Atheist by haunting the societie of the Atheist The true worshipper of GOD cōmunicateth with the superstition of the Papist by haunting kindlie the societie of the Papist even when hee seeth hee cannot bee wonne Yea thus meeke men chaste men temperate men true men peaceable men communicate with Murderers Adulterers Fornicators Drunkardes false men seditious men by haunting of their companie This mooved Paul to charge us who bee Christians Not
