Ip men ’ Whi» had ntf intercourse- with the we might expect to find either an admiration of the rich and r powerful, or a/dislikp of them, and’a partiality for people of their o>vn rjank. But nothing of this is to be seen.- Vtfe scarcely find a writer who has not liis partialities ; one is a sycophant of the great, and a despiser of the poor 1 another bates the great, and makes his court to the Multitude, that he mus gain th em faVor. Some pk>’ homage to the leurnedrahd treat The ignorant with contempt : others t akfc (fie contrary side. Country ayid rrlfgion have a powerful ifilluence bn vmen's on their man v m*r of speaking of persons and things,. Both Jewish ami Gentile writers fur bish remarkable ’ instances of tfiis, each in an opposite Way, But there is a perfect exception to these modes of \yntingi The whole human race is al ways considered in the New Tesfcipent as one great .family. .The apostle view man as an tmmortal being : This is the light -in which he constantly appears. . The different conditions o-f life sink into nothing in comparison of this “more illustrious rank. The only reason why they notice the various station)in civil society to remind men the; duties of these stations, and to guard them pgainst the temptations to which they are exposed. This is peculiarly the ( case as to persons, in the most exalted condition, the temp tations of which they represent as the strongest oF any : they therefore \ kindly entreat them to watch against’ their influence with the utmost cara i and at the same time they frankly their abuse of the blessings if. ih&ir conditions; . If they speak favorably of the poor, is to console them, because their t&nptatipbs are s dfhbt so strong, and to point out those advantages in lot which they are Apt to overlook. But in all the tjrand concerns of hum an nature they view meii as equals r they speak’ to tl;,em as brethren : they enVy not the great: they despise not the poorr they address all with dignity and af. fcciion. is indeed one mark ed difference which they ever main tain, and never in any one instance | lose sight of for a moment.
