Moreover if I have been the voluntary occasion of the unnaturall and untimely death of another either by mixing poison with meats or drinks or otherwise though given by the hand of another and if it take that cursed effect I am guilty actually if it doth not kill out-right I am intentionally guilty of murder 6. If I have provoked or inticed any one to that excess of drinking or surfeting so as the mans body is endangered by it and he thereby hath contracted a killing disease I am not free of this sin though the law of man take no hold on me for it 7.

And if thou enter into the lists with thy equall either challenging thy self or answering anothers challenge to fight upon what account soever thou dost thereby hazard thy own or the others and sometimes both your lives and so you become guilty of self-murder or killing another and if thou kill him in the quarrell though thou mayst escape the law of man yet thou art a murderer and many years of deep repentance will not suffice for it and if thou die in the duell thou goest to hell without remedy S. 42 And if you think this too severe an exposition of the command as to include anger and malicious words read Mat. 5.21 22. Thou shalt not kill and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment But I say unto you whosoever is angry with his Brother without cause shall be in danger of the judgment and whosoever shall say Thou fool shall be in danger of Hell-fire Where you may see the same judgment is allotted for malicious angry revengfull men as to actuall killing that is they are to be accounted guilty of this sin and judged as murderers S. 43 Now in the Name of God I intreat thee whoever thou art that meanest to be saved to examine thy heart disposition and practice whether thou art not guilty of some of these things and if thou art condemn thy self for it and repent heartily and reform presently for if thou livest in this sin thou canst never approve thy self innocent neither will God acquit thee except thou repent and leave it S. 44 And that ye may know that anger malice revenge hatred railing evil speaking are no small matters you shall find that all of them are both forbidden and condemned and the persons here guilty in this present life snall without reformation be excluded heaven Rom. 1.29 see Rom. 1.29 wicked men of this kind are under Gods wrath in ver 18. and worthy of death ver 32. are such as verse 29. are described malicious full of envy murder debate malignity back-biters and Galatians 5. are found among the works of the flesh Gal. 5.19 20 21. the which if men doe and continue in them they shall not inherit the kingdome are these hated variance wrath strife envyings murders and in Rom. 12.19 Christians are intreated not to seek revenge but leave it to God Avenge not your selves therefore but allay your wrath And in Ephes 4.
