A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Matthew xxvi. 15. They covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. It is not my object, in the present discourse, to treat of, or attempt to measure, the guilt of that unworthy disciple of the Lord Jesus, whose covenant to betray Ms Master, as well as the consideration of that covenant, is stated in these words. Nor yet do I propose to inquire what could have been the motive of a disciple who, like Judas, had had a more than ordinary trust reposed in him by his Master and his fe Uow disciples, to prove false to that trust, and deliver him by whom he had been treated with such confidence, into the hands of those who were seeking his life. But I take, rather, this statement of a particular covenant, to do an act of acknowledged baseness and iniquity, as an occasion of considering the general question of the binding force or obligation of all agreements, contracts, promises, vows or oaths, to do that which is a violation of natural right, and which, were there no such solemn engagement, would be acknowledged to be wrong.
