on'd thus: (1st.) The Man who voluntarily, and of his Malice commits a Fact: (2dly) The King, or Father who forces and obliges to the Commission of a Fact. (3dly) The oblig'd Person who commits the Fact. (4thly) who assists and aids in the Performance. (5thly,) Who praises and commends it.

And as a Man is oblig'd to make Reparation for an injurious Violence; so also for the Consequences of a Violence; as where a Man had burnt down his Neighbour's House, by firing a Tree near it, Seneca says, Tho' you intended only part of the Damage, you are bound in the whole, as a rational being; for not to have committed any Injury, you ought not to have design'd any, not even the burning the Tree. Thus also, a Murderer is bound, by natural Equity, to pay what Expences have been in Physicians, and to maintain those whom the deceas'd supported having regard to the Years that the murdered Person might be suppos'd to live. A Thief, or Robber is bound not only to restore the Thing stolen, but with its natural Encrease; or if by the being remov'd from its Owner it has suffer'd any Damage, he it to compensate for it. If any Person has been compell'd, thro' Fear, to make a detrimental Bargain, the Casuists believe that the violent Compeller, or Terrifier, is bound by the Law of Nature to compensate to the whole Value of the Thing bought; which appears from the natural Liberty of Man, and from the Nature of Contracts, &c.

Afterwards we endeavour'd to convince the Prisoner who had committed Murder, of the greatness of his Offence, in not only doing Violence, but such a Violence as has depriv'd God of a Creature, his Majesty of a Subject, and the Man himself of his Life; sending him out of the World without half so much space and time to settle his Accounts with Heaven, as the Laws allow'd to him. But that there were Hopes of Mercy, because Christ came not to call the Righteous, but Sinners to Repentance. Endeavouring last of all to direct the other Prisoners, if they should regain their Liberties, or dwell in another Land, to do Violence to no Man, which proves ruinous and destructive, not only to the Injur'd, but the Injurer too; For they who sow Iniquity reap the same.

The ACCOUNT while they lay under Condemnation.
