the sons of God, amalgamating, miscegenating, with the _negro--man--beast, without soul--without the endowment of immortality_, and you have the reason, _why_ God repented and drowned the world, because of its commission. It is a crime, _in the sight of God_, that can not be _propitiated_ by any sacrifice, or by any oblation, and can not be forgiven by God--_never_ has been forgiven on earth, and never will be. Death--death inexorable, is declared by God's judgments on the _world_ and _on nations_; and he has declared death as its punishment by his law--death to both male and female, without pardon or reprieve, and beyond the power of _any_ sacrifice to expiate. That Adam was especially endowed by his Creator, and by him commissioned with authority to rule and have dominion over everything created on earth, is unquestioned; that to mark the extent of his dominion, everything _named by him_ was included in his right to rule them. His wife was the _last thing_ named by him, and consequently under his rule, government and dominion. But a being called man existed before Adam was created, and was _named man_ by Adam, and was to be under his rule and dominion, as all other beasts and animals. But did God call Adam _man_, after he had created him? Most certainly he did not. This fact relieves us of all doubt as to _who_ was meant as the _men_ of whose daughters the sons of God took their wives, independent of the preceding irrefragable proofs, that it was the negro; and the crime of amalgamation thus committed, brought the flood upon the earth. There is no possibility of avoiding this conviction.
