Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of the Right Reverend Father in God, Thomas Wilson, D. D, Vol. 3: Lord Bishop of Sodor and Man This is part of that solemn charge which Moses gave to the judges of Israel. The same in effect did good King Jehosaphat give to his judges; "Take heed what ye do: for ye judge not for man, but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment; wherefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you." If this charge was necessary then, it certainly is so now, and will ever be so, as long as men are subject to weakness, to negligence, to corruption, or to passion; that is, as long as this world lasts. The words of the text suppose this, Ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; and proposes the only effectual antidote against such an evil, for the judgment is God´s. The words are few, but imply a great deal of instruction. First; The Judgement is God´s. Why then, the magistrate´s power and authority is from God. Secondly; Ye Shall not be Afraid of the Pace of Man. This teaches the magistrate his duty; namely, that he is not to pervert justice for any worldly consideration; no, not for the fear of death. Thirdly; the subject may here see the sin and danger of opposing, of disobeying, of vilifying, the magistrate in the due execution of his office.
