3 Consentiendo, by consenting. Thus Saul sinned in keeping their garments that stoned Stephen, Act. 22.20. When the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I was consenting to his death, and kept the raiments of them that slew him: It was the confession of Saint Paul himself. It is Gods charge, Prov. 1.10. If sinners entice thee, conse•• thou not. It is the reprobates brand, Rom. 1.32. That they not only do evil things, but consent with them that do them. Sentient eandem poenā, qui consentiunt in eandem culp••, They that consent to the same sin, shall feel the same punishment. Every mans ha•d is not an able instrument of mischief: but whosoever the instrument be, the counsel ter is as deep both in the sin and penaltie. For Quod deest operi, inest voluntati: And God values (both in good actions and evil) the will for the deed. Joah for consenting to David, in the murder of Uriah, and numbering of the people, bore a part in those sins.
