their Rebellion having nothing to answer for their Murther of Gods Annointed having nothing to keep off that deadly stab which the charge of their killing the just one gave unto their very souls Acts 7. 57. They stop their ears but with wide open mouths they ran upon him and to stop that mouth whose truth cut their hearts for want of arguments so silenced him with stones that he died at their feet of whose death the Holy Ghost is pleased to take notice and to record not onely the Actors but a bare Consenter also in these words And Saul was consenting to his death But what talk I of the Murther of a Deacon upon a day solemnly set a part to be humbled for the Murther of a King my answer is I find so nigh a conjunction between Sacred Majesty and Holy Order between Prince and Priest between Gods annointed to be Kings and Gods annointed to be Prophets that we can scarse find the man who will wrong the one but if occasion serve he would do as much for the other and therefore we find them both equally shielded in one verse Touch not mine Annointed and do my Prophets no harm Psalm 105. They who will harm the Prophets they will not stick to arm against the Annointed They who killed the Just one they made nothing of murthering his Messengers and indeed in order to this horrid Murther in order to the betraying of our Just one and the Lords Annointed what was more previous than the stoning of his Prophets the sequestring silencing and depriving from all comforts of this life who ever durst as did Stephen magnifie the Lords Annointed or did dare to say They were his Betrrayers or his Murtherers Indeed between Deacon and King there is a great disproportion Deacon the lowest degree of Ministry and King the superexcellent for Majesty and yet the same Kings who are sometime called Gods they are also stiled Rom. 13. 3. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Gods Deacons too that is Gods selected and peculiar Servants and thus considered St. Stephen and our Soveraign may very well admit a Parallel For Was S. Stephen Acts 6. 5. a man full of Faiih and the Holy Ghost such was our Soveraign Full of Faith for it was in faith of a better that he gave up his earthly Crown Full of the Holy Ghost for the most envious cannot deny his Meditations and Solitudes to be the undoubted Breathings of that Spirit Was St. Stephen endowed with such high parts and gifts that v. 10. They were not able to resist the Wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke Even so was it with our Blessed Soveraign or else we had never heard of An Ordinance for no Addresses nor as himself speaks had he been assailed with Armies instead of Arguments yea when his cursed Conspirators when those who sought his life and those who in order to it had declared him A Fool one unfit to govern when they had divested him of all counsel and sequestred him from all Advice when many and the choicest of the pack were sent to him as the Herodians to our Saviour to entrap and entangle him in his words they found him so qualify'd as the Book of God testifieth of S. Stephen That they were not able to resist the Wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake and therefore as St. Stephen was confuted with stones because they were not able to do it with Arguments Even so therefore was our Blessed Soveraign not permitted to speak against the High Court of Justice Therefore brought to his Scaffold and therefore cut off because they were not able to resist his Wisdom because they found he was no less good than great as they served St. Stephen Acts 7. 58. even so they ran upon him and cast him out of the City Yea the very circumstance of place whence those came who did this deed that relateth to St. Stephen too for the High Court of Justice that pack of Miscreants which were sent to do this Villany they came forth of St. Stephens Chappel Now being in Stephens Martyrdom the Spirit of God is so severe as to take notice not onely of those who as I may say sealed and signed his death not onely of those who ran upon him and were the actors in this Murther but of a very Accessory of a stander by of one who gave no vote flung no stone did no hurt being the Spirit of God takes notice of one who did onely look to the cloathing of those that stoned him vers 58. One that did onely look on and like the thing certainly we shall find Consenters as well as Actors are mightily to be humbled for the sin of this day Not onely they who plotted and preached and prepar'd the Murther but those also who liked it when it was done Those who by any complacency or after act or subscription avowed the thing All such are guilty of the Horrid Murther of this Day or else vainly did the Holy Pen observe what is our present Text And Saul was consenting to his death In and about these Words we shall consider of these three Propositions First a man may be guilty of that sin in which he was no actor by being onely as Saul here stands recorded A Consenter Secondly a guilt may be postnate unto a fact for after the stoning of St. Stephen it is observ'd and not before that Saul was consenting to his death Lastly Consent may contract so deep a guilt that without confession and contrition it may hale the vengeance of an Actor upon the Consenters head First A man may be guilty of that sin c. Consent it is the conception and the first quickning of every sin consent it is that which gives the first being to every iniquity insomuch that he who consenteth though he never act further is an actual sinner before his God Nam scelus intra se tantum qui cogitat ultum And therefore said our Blessed Master Matt. 5. 28. Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery already with her in his heart He who hath a wanton a lascivious and an adulterat reflection upon a beauty he who looks and lusts though he never exchange a word never touch handle or come nigh the woman even this very consent this very complacencie it is Adultery in the eye of the most pure For saith our Saviour the son of a Virgin he hath committed adultery with her already in his heart And as consent in the Concupiscible even so consent in the Irascible it contracts a like guilt For as he is an adulterer who looketh and lusteth though he never violate the chastity of the woman even so a man may be guilty of Murther and yet never draw bloud a man may be a Manslayer and yet never harm or hurt a person For the express determination and words of St. John are Whosoever hateth his brother is a Murtherer 1 Jo. 3. 15.
