Hominum fiires, qui servos vel liberos ahducunt, rttinent, vendunt, vel emunt. Stealers of men are all those who bring off slaves or freemen, and keep, sell, or BUY THEM. To Steal a freeman, says Grotuis, is the highest kind f9 of theft. In other instances, we only steal human property, but when we steal, or retain men in slavery, we seize (hose who, in common with ourselves, are constituted by the original grant, lords of the earth. " But the church contented itself with recording its doc- tri...ne. No rules of discipline were enforced. The slave- holders remained in the church, adding slave to slave, unmolested ; not only unmolested, but bearing the offices of the church. In J8](), the General Assembly, while it called slavery '* amournful evil, " directed the erasure of the note to the eighth commandment. In 1818, it adopted an " expression of view^s " in which slavery is called '' a gross violation of the most precious and sacred rights of human nature, " but instead of requiring the instant abandonment of this *' violation nf rights, " the Assembly exhorts the violators " to continue and increase their exertions to effect a total abolition of slavery, with no greater chlaij than a regard to the public welfare de- mands ;" and recommends that if a " Christian professor shall sell a slave who is also in communion with our church, " without the consent of the slave, the seller should be " suspended till he should repent and make reparation.
