First to _Africa_. The advantages that would arise to it, in abolishing this base and unchristian-like Commerce are numerous, some of which may be comprehended under the following. 1st. The abolishing this Trade may be a means of peopling this country, and of cultivating it in the same manner with any other country in _Europe_ or _Asia_, so as to render it capable of bearing in as great abundance as the _East-Indies_, spices of equal quality to those of _Banda_, _Ternate_, and _Amboyna_; I say, the like spices might be produced on the rich and fruitful shores of _Melinda_ on the east side, or of the slave coast on the west side of _Africa_, and that as easy and to as great advantage, as where they are now raised, the latitude being the same, and soil not unlike; and, in short, cinnamon and all others, the production of _East_ and _West-Indies_, by proper management might be raised here as well as in those parts. 2d. It would introduce the Christian religion among them, which is a shame to these nations who pretend to hold fast the principles of Christianity, to keep so long hid, and of consequence, be a means of bringing among them the more civilized arts and sciences. 3d. It will recommend the _European_ dress, and introduce their customs among the natives, and of course civilize them like other Christian nations. Lastly. It will be a means of bringing this country to as great perfection in trade, riches, and grandeur, as any in _Europe_, it being a much more fertile and plentious soil for many valuable productions. Much more could I say upon the numerous advantages arising to this excellent country: But let what has been said suffice, I leave the rest to the Reader’s own feeling, if he has any for this poor distressed _Africa_ which groans under a heavy load of oppression.
