There are eight wayes especially noted in Scripture, by all which a man is made partaker, and becomes guilty of the sins of others.

1. By contrivance, by plotting and contriving of sin, by provoking and soliciting others to sin; and this is in an high degree to be guilty of other mens sins. Thus Jonadab was guilty of Amnons Incest by his subtle contriving of that wickedness, by being a Pander to that Villainy, 2 Sam. 13.5.

When a man shall wittingly and willingly spread a snare in his brothers way, and either drive him in by provocation, or decoy him in by allurement, he makes himself a partaker of his sin. E g. to provoke a man to Passion, to tempt a person to Drunkenness and uncleanness, to put a man upon Murder and blood-shed, to draw souls into Error, Heresy, Blasphemy, &c. this is to espouse and adopt the sin, and to make it a mans own.
