He anfwers them by' the parables contained in this chapter. And we may obferve, that when he had carried on the narration of the father and his two fons, to the point in which it moft exactly correfponded to the difpofition himfelf and the tw^o parties of his audience were in, at the very mo- ment he was fpeaking to them ; he there clofes it, and leaves them to guefs what cfteft the father's obliging and pathetic anfwer had upon the mind of tbe elder fony who w^as the reprefentafive of the phar...ifees and Jcritcs, or rather of what they pre- tended and his compa[jionate Father, 2^^ tended to be, the juji men who need no rf- fentance. It Is evident, that he vindicates his own conduft even upon their own fuppofition, that they were really, in comparifon of the other party, righteous and good men, con- ftant obfervers of the laws of God, like the elder fon, who had never tranfgreffed his father's commands. — The only objeftion which they could make to his conduft with any colour of reafon, was this : that he feemed to make no diftindtion betv/een perfons of the greateft virtue and the worft of profligates, provided they came to him with marks of repentance ^ but treated them with equal refpedl, or rather gave the preference to the latter.
