21. Moses's Law was that Murder shall be punished with death (by the lesser Sanhedrin) And the carnal Jews have taken this to be all that the Sixth Commandment condemned: But God's Law is perfect however carnal men misunderstand it; and I tell you, that 1. whoever lets out his passion of hurtful and uncharitable anger against any man without or beyond just cause, doth in some degree break the Sixth Commandment, and therefore deserveth answerable punishment: And 2. Whoever shall causelessly scorn or revile his Brother; breaketh the Command yet more, and deserveth greater punishment: But whosoever shall utterly despise him causelessly, with an uncharitable conclusion that he is a fool or a wicked man, or a Schismatic, or an Heretic, when it is not so, shall have yet far greater punishment, even H•ll-fire, answering that in the valley of Hinnom.
