we find a canonical epistle inscribed, principally, not only to a
|
||
|
|
single person, but to one also of the softer sex. And why not to one of
|
||
|
|
that sex? In gospel redemption, privilege, and dignity, <I>there is
|
||
|
|
neither male nor female;</I> they are both one <I>in Christ Jesus.</I>
|
||
|
|
Our Lord himself neglected his own repast, to commune with the woman of
|
||
|
|
Samaria, in order to show her the fountain of life; and, when almost
|
||
|
|
expiring upon the cross, he would with his dying lips bequeath his
|
||
|
|
blessed mother to the care of his beloved disciple, and thereby
|
||
|
|
instruct him to respect female disciples for the future. It was to one
|
||
|
|
of the same sex that our Lord chose to appear first after his return
|
||
|
|
from the grave, and to send by her the news of his resurrection to this
|
||
|
|
as well as to the other apostles; and we find afterwards a zealous
|
||
|
|
Priscilla so well acquitting herself in her Christian race, and
|
||
|
|
particularly in some hazardous service towards the apostle Paul, that
|
||
|
|
she is not only often mentioned before her husband, but to her as well
|
||
|
|
as to him, not only the apostle himself, but also all the Gentile
|
||
|
|
churches, were ready to return their thankful acknowledgments. No
|
||
|
|
wonder then that a heroine in the Christian religion, honoured by
|
||
|
|
divine providence, and distinguished by divine grace, should be
|
||
|
|
dignified also by an apostolical epistle.</P>
