At the alusion TO Slavery several members of the

The speaker then went on TO ssy, that although it
was not stated in the text that nson that oppresses
lie poor or does not faithfully judge them, should no.
at apy time prosper bat the contrary, in the Word
Of God, it was admitted that for sea,on, even by
means of oppression there might be great apparent
power luxury end riches yet God denOHstrsted 20 rs
that the end thereof death and that such nation
was on the high road 10 perdton; the most striking
example Of which was given In the history OF His own
reop The nation Of the Jews. The most pointed and
,ne dcns Illustration ofbe text might be foundip tbs

paid labor which God had appointed, the system OF
Slavery which he hal forbidden. They eoncocted
snd completed this enormous crime under the reign
and guidance Of Zedekiah the last King OF Judah;
and ihey had 10 sooner done than The sentence OF
Gods wrath followed, tom which there wos no re-
p,ieve ard in only three years time Jerusalem
turned with FIRE, and the whole people we're swept
