To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But, in doing this, I might not intend to make void (and could not make void) any of your natural rights, or those of your posterity, or to prohibit any and every attempt to recover them when Providence should appear to favor it. And, although I might not at once assail the barbarian law under which you were held slaves, it might become my duty, or that of my successors, to assail it when the Christian faith should be publicly and generally received and professed in that community. Thus the ins...tructions of the apos- tles to slaves annulled not their natural right, nor the duty of others to help them to obtain it, so soon as that duty should come to light by the more perfect operation of Christianity, '['he apostles, then, cannot fairly be understood to have declared or implied the rightfulness of slavery. They taught what, it is 20 admitted, would lead to a conviction of its wrongful- ness. A time would arrive when it would come into such relations with received truth, and with all social circumstances, that it must be felt to be sinful ; — when the apostles, if living, or their successors, if commanded to aid in enslaving or re-enslaving a human being, would refuse obedience.
