We can understand why II : that twice s forbidden

that the adulterer and sdulieress had b. n taken
the act, the aduiierer that day m Jeru-a. "a llt
the Roman law before the aduteres had been brought
to the Sayior's feet This has been cited here,
II often H. IN favor OF the adulterer and against the
husband. Bot the argument OF Dr. Pdlry, alluded Ia
by c0uCse the other side, cUncusvely shows that
that case canuo be cited in favor Of the adllerer. Ga
that dav in Jerusalem the laws II Moses a. civil AMI
political institution had passed away and the RomanlaH
had taken lie place. Why ives that the man oiJeru-
salem brought not the Savior the aduterer who had
been taken nj the time, if they wanted 20 know
the SayiOr- iud gment OF the sin Of adultery. By the
Roman. while the the adulterer suffered death, that
punishment does seem 10 have been inflicted on the
adnieress Thi- woman. therefore, brought 10
the Sayor feet to hear what would be his judgment.
If he had undertaken t. that the laws 81 Mua.-
ought not 10 prevail then. accusation might be
brought against him ~ the synagogue: and IT, on the
other hand he had said that the laws Of Moses should
be enforced then ready accusation would have leaped
to their lips that he usarpng judicial functions,
and he would have been brought before the judgment
seat Of the Roman authorities As DIR. Paey observes,
the case only serves show that the Savior to
rebukc those who tempted him. bat that he de-
signed to shield the aduercr from the Just doom Of
the law What, then, j. the act of adultery IL can
not be limited To the dce,iug moment of sexual
tact; that would b. mockery, Tor then the aiul-
terer would escape. But law aud reason mock
not human nature with any such vain absurity. the
act OF adultery like the act Of murder, supposed to
include every pro2mate act in fur,helance OF aud
q means TO the consummation Of wfe'S pollution.
