See how severely the Law of God forbids Murder, & makes it Capital. Gen. IX. 5, 6. And surely your blood of your lives will I require: at the hand of every beast will I require it; and at the hand of man, at the hand of every mans brother will I require the life of man. Whoso sh•ddeth mans blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the Image of God made he man. Numb. 35. 31, 33. Moreover, ye shall take no satisfaction for the life of a murderer, which is guilty of death: but he […] surely put to death. So ye shall not ⟨p. 8⟩pollute the land wherein you are: for blood defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. Exo. XXI. 14. But if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour to s•ay him with guile, thou shalt take him from mine Altar, that he may die. Prov. XXVIII. 17. A man that doeth violence to the blood of any Person, shall flee to the Pit, let no man stay him.
