"And to illustrate his Assertion our Author brings in by way of Comparison the Law of God against man Stealing, on pain of Death: Intimating thereby, that Buying and Selling of Negro's is a breach of that Law, and so deserves Death: A severe Sentence: But herein he begs the Question with a _Caveat Emptor_. For, in that very Chapter there is a Dispensation to the People of _Israel_, to have Bond men, Women and Children, even of their own Nation in some case; and Rules given therein to be observed concerning them; Verse the 4_th_. And in the before cited place, _Levit 25. 44, 45, 46_. Though the _Israelites_ were forbidden (ordinarily) to make Bond men and Women of their own Nation, but of Strangers they might: the words run thus, verse 44. _Both thy Bond men, and thy Bond maids which thou shall have shall be of the Heathen, that are round about you: of them shall you Buy Bond men and Bond maids, &c_. See also, I _Cor. 12, 13_. Whether we be Bond or Free, which shows that in the times of the New Testament, there were Bond men also, &c. "_In fine_, The sum of this long Haurange, is no other, than to compare the Buying and Selling of Negro's unto the Stealing of Men, and the Selling of _Joseph_ by his Brethren, which bears no proportion therewith, nor is there any congruiety therein, as appears by the foregoing Texts. "Our Author doth further proceed to answer some Objections of his own framing, which he supposes some might raise. "Object. 1. _That these Blackamores are of the Posterity of_ Cham, _and therefore under the Curse of Slavery. Gen. 9. 25, 26, 27._ The which the Gentleman seems to deny, saying, _they ware the Seed of Canaan that were Cursed, &c._ "_Answ._ Whether they were so or not, we shall not dispute: this may suffice, that not only the seed of _Cham_ or _Canaan_, but any lawful Captives of other Heathen Nations may be made Bond men as hath been proved. "Obj. 2. _That the Negroes are brought out of Pagan Countreys into places where the Gospel is preached._ To which he Replies, _that we must not doe Evil that Good may come of it_. "_Ans._ To which we answer, That it is no Evil thing to bring them out of their own Heathenish Country, where they may have the knowledge of the True God, be Converted and Eternally saved. "Obj. 3. _The_ Affricans _have Wars one with another_; our Ships bring lawful Captives taken in those Wars.
