True, we are transgressors like our first father, partakers of his fallen nature, and inheritors of the curse; but "where sin abounds, grace does much more abound," and "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us."
Its truths are for the few, the best men are the teachers, equal as initiated partakers in the mysteries, supreme over all outside their society. A reasoned and reasonable order and method are symbolised by their theory of Number; their philosophy is political, their politics oligarchic.
Will Protagoras answer these objections? Protagoras explains his views in the form of an apologue, in which, after Prometheus had given men the arts, Zeus is represented as sending Hermes to them, bearing with him Justice and Reverence. These are not, like the arts, to be imparted to a few only, but all men are to be partakers of them.
The conduct of the ushers, who were either tyrannical extortioners, or partakers in our crimes the constant loss of our clothes by the dishonesty or carelessness of the servants the purloining our silver spoons, sheets, and towels, when we went away, upon the plea of "custom" the charges in the account for windows which I had never broken, and books which I had never received the shameful difference between the annual cost promised by the master, and the sum actually charged, ought to have opened the eyes of my father.
WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, contemplate the apostle and high-priest whom ye confess, Jesus Christ; who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was in all his house. For this personage hath been counted worthy of higher glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who built it, hath greater honour than the house.
Grimke, p. 18. Brevard, vol. 2, p. 229. In 1667, the following statute was passed in Virginia: "Whereas, some doubts have arisen whether children that are slaves by birth, and by the charity and piety of their owners made partakers of the blessed sacrament of baptism, should by virtue of their baptism be made free; It is enacted and declared by this grand assembly, and the authority thereof, that the confering of baptism doth not alter the condition of the person as to his bondage or freedom; that divers masters, freed from this doubt, may more carefully endeavor the propagation of Christianity by permitting children, though slaves, or those of greater growth, if capable to be admitted to that sacrament."
Faith unites sinful men to God in Christ; therefore it makes them partakers of the 'blessedness of the man, ... to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and of the blessedness of the man to whom the Lord reckons his faith for righteousness.
The many noble, excellent, and Christian men, who may have been heedlessly involved in this Rebellion, in spite of past oaths to the nation, it is not our task to judge. But the act itself, of disregarding such sworn loyalty to their whole country, the act in its general principles apart from all personal partakers in it, we may and we must ponder.
"Aye take the counsel of those who are aulder and wiser than yourself, and binna like the godless Rehoboam, who took the advice o' a wheen beardless callants, neglecting the auld counsellors who had sate at the feet o' his father Solomon, and, as it was weel put by Mr. Meiklejohn, in his lecture on the chapter, were doubtless partakers of his sapience.
This story will ever form the darkest chapter in the history of Napoleon. The duke had his residence at a castle in the Duchy of Baden, where, attended by a few noble friends, the partakers of his exile, he was chiefly occupied with the diversions of the chase.
