Text or Note.

Trust. Scarcely of inferior in extent to the portion
of the field to which power applies has application, is
the portion to which trust has application. In
other words, scarcely of the sort of power powers which a man
person is allowed to exercise for his own benefit,
scarcely is there one which he is not allowed to exercise
for the benefit of other persons one or more.

If there be any exception that in regard the
characteristic marital power will afford one, though
under a state of things to in respect of law to which the
present times afford no parallel. Under the state theocracy which preceded the law
if where a married man who had a brother unmarried
childless, the unmarried man was not merely allowed
but obliged to perform marital duty upon the widow,
in such sort as to give birth to a child or children
who thereupon became the reputed child or children
of the deceased. Here was an obligation ma By the
exercise of this power, a service was regarded as being
rendered to the a person or persons other than him by whom
the power was exercised: and those persons was were either the deceased
or their common father, or both, brother: this power was accordingly a trust.
So sacred was this trust, that for an error in the execution
of it, the operation being performed in such a manner
as to prevent the production production render of the service effect intended,
the one instance occurred in which the rendering of the service therefrom intended the trust-breaking
trustee Onan was his name was punished with death.

Genesis Ch. XXXVIII 6. 7.8. 9. 10. 6. And Judah took a wife for Er his
first born: whose name was "Tamar". 7. And Er, Judah's firstborn, was
wicked in the sight of the Lord: and the Lord slew him. 8. And
Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry
her, and raise up seed unto thy brother. 9. And Onan knew
that the seed should not be his: and it came to pass, when he
went in to his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest
that he should give seed unto his brother. 10. And the thing which he
did displeased the Lord:
wherefore he slew him also.
