"To which our Author answers Conjecturally, and Doubtfully, _for aught we know_, that which may or may not be; which is insignificant, and proves nothing. He also compares the Negroes Wars, one Nation with another, with the Wars between _Joseph_ and his Brethren. But where doth he read of any such War? We read indeed of a Domestick Quarrel they had with him, they envyed and hated _Joseph_; but by what is Recorded, he was meerly passive and meek as a Lamb. This Gentleman farther adds, _That there is not any War but is unjust on one side, &c._ Be it so, what doth that signify: We read of lawful Captives taken in the Wars, and lawful to be Bought and Sold without contracting the guilt of the _Agressors_; for which we have the example of _Abraham_ before quoted; but if we must stay while both parties Warring are in the right, there would be no lawful Captives at all to be Bought; which seems to be rediculous to imagine, and contrary to the tenour of Scripture, and all Humane Histories on that subject. "Obj. 4. _Abraham had Servants bought with his Money, and born in his House. Gen. 14. 14._ To which our worthy Author answers, _until the Circumstances of Abraham's purchase be recorded, no Argument can be drawn from it_. "_Ans._ To which we Reply, this is also Dogmatical, and proves nothing. He farther adds, _In the mean time Charity Obliges us to conclude, that he knew it was lawful and good_. Here the gentleman yields the case; for if we are in Charity bound to believe _Abrahams_ practice, in buying and keeping _Slaves_ in his house to be lawful and good: then it follows, that our Imitation of him in this his Moral Action, is as warrantable as that of his Faith; _who is the Father of all them that believe. Rom. 4. 16._ "In the close all, Our Author Quotes two more places of Scripture, _viz., Levit. 25. 46_, and _Jer. 34._ from the 8. to the 22. _v_. To prove that the people of Israel were strictly forbidden the Buying and Selling one another for _Slaves_: who questions that? and what is that to the case in hand? What a strange piece of Logick is this? 'Tis unlawful for Christians to Buy and Sell one another for slaves. _Ergo_, It is unlawful to Buy and Sell Negroes that are lawful Captiv'd Heathens. "And after a Serious Exhortation to us all to Love one another according to the Command of Christ _Math. 5, 43, 44_. This worthy Gentleman concludes with this Assertion, _That these Ethiopians as Black as they are, seeing they are the Sons and Daughters of the first_ Adam; _the Brethren and Sisters of the Second_ Adam, _and the Offspring of God; we ought to treat them with a respect agreeable_.
