_ _ Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation — They took advantage of their helpless condition and confiding character to obtain possession of their property, while by their “long prayers” they made them believe they were raised far above “filthy lucre.” So much the “greater damnation” awaited them. (Compare Matthew 23:33). A lifelike description this of the Romish clergy, the true successors of “the scribes.” |
