The word which we translate innocent, cometh from a root which signifieth pure and clean,1 and in the verb to cleanse and make pure: And because innocency is the purity or cleanness of a person, therefore the same word signifies to cleanse, and to ⟨p. 356⟩hold or make innocent: In which sense it is used frequently, Exo. 20.2. Thou wilt not hold him guiltless (or innocent) that taketh thy Name in vain. The counsel that David gave upon his deathbed unto Solomon concerning Joab, was, Therefore hold thou him not innocent, or guiltless (1 King. 2.9.) that is, let the blood which he hath shed be upon him, let his honour and his name continue stained and blemished in thy thoughts and judgement, Hold him not innocent.
