Communication with sin is done sundry ways. First, by counsel: thus Ca•phas sinned when he gave counsel to put Christ to death. Secondly, by commandment: so David sinned in the murder of Uriah. Thirdly, by consent, or assistance, Rom. 1. 31. thus Saul sinned in keeping the garments of them that ••oned Steven, Act. 22. 20
. & 7. 58
. Fourthly, by provocation: thus they sin that provok• others to sin, and hereof Paul speaketh when he saith, Fathers must not provoke their children to wrath,
. Fifthly, by negligence, or silence. This is the sin of the Minister, when men are called to reprove sin and do not. Sixthly, by flattery, when men sooth up others in sin. Seventhly, by winking at sins, or passing them over by slight reproof,
that justifieth the wicked, and condemneth the just, even they both are an abomination to the Lord.
