the existence Of Gal, anl the divine anthem
ITCHY Of tie bible; it is blta step from one to
the 9th T. The only thin; you have done, is.
TO give your opinion, a to what God, and the
civil government ought to have done, and con-
siderable amount Of twAddle about Moses giving
laws to the l'raelile', AMI wound up with abu-
sing Col, for having punished the Egyptians eor
their cruel Treatment Of the Israelites, while
they were by special decree of God permitted
to dwell in Egypt as strangers, but not as slaves
or boadmen in the sense in which God COM
manded the Israelites to, buy or hold their
slaves or bonl-mGn as described in the 25th
chapter Of L,yitcus A 45 anl As. This sir,
is evident from Gol's comnlnl to them as you
will find by consulting the % and 23d chapters
Of Exodus, 2lst and 9th verses of these chapters,
which reads "'Thou shalt neither vev stranger
(not slave) nor oppress him, for lsefe strafi-
gers (not slaves in the land of Egypt" Also,
| 'thou shalt not oppress stranger, tuet slaye1
for We know the heart of a stranger, (not slaye)
seeing ye were strangers (not slayes) in the land
of Egypt" Every slave is a servant, but every
servant is not slave; see Websers Dictionary,
unabridged
/ Most persons you say, 4 suppose you mean
abotIonsts) look upon the selling OF Joseph as
/ wicked and inhuman. Here, sir, you are COM
lpelled TO admit that God is the first and efficient
cause Of all things, or like some of your aboii-
ton brethren, deny his existence and sink tho
world in hopeless Atheism You might with
equal propriety have adduced the death of Christ,
they are parallel cases of wickedness annd Cruz
city, but God designed in both transactions to
demonstrate his knowledge, wisdom, power,
love, mercy and justice to his creature man, as
may be seen by careful reading of both cases,
as recorded in Genesis so, 20, and in Acts, 2.
% and % verses; the verses referred to in both
chapters read as follows: "But as for you, ye
Thought evil against ma, but God meant it unto
F good to bring to pass, as it is this day to save
much people, eye men Of Israel, hear these
words: Jesus Of Nazareth, a man approved of
God among you by miracles and wonders and
signs which God did by him in the midst Of
you as ye yourselves also know. Him being
delivered by the determinate counsel and fore
knowledge of God, We have taken, by wick
ed hands have crucif4d AMI slain" But sir,
rs you have said "the Gol who CONDUCTED the
Israelitos from bondage, AMI punished Phasoah
for enslaving them, and then turn round and
institute the relation OF master and Slave ~
being just and proper AM ngSt mon, to say the
least Of it, is supremely ridcutoiIs;'' so perhaps
you will say Of God'slesign in the selngof Jo-
seph and oreordainins the manner in which
Christ was put to death,
1 In the days Of our Savior, slavery was a part
of the constitution of every country where the
Gospel was first preached, yet no where in the
christian scriptures is it condemned Jesus
! Christ and his apostles issued no Injunction
against it; on the contrary the rights Of masters
and their property in their slaves, were r,cogni-
zed aud sanctioned, and the natural and relative
/ duties of master and slave were taught anil en-
forced. Christ and his apostles, on all occasians
condemned whatever was sinful and in viola
ton of the moral law, which God delivered to
Moses on Mount Sinai, and had the institution
ofslavery, as recognized in tiat law been sinful
in their judgments, it can htrdy be stpp std
chat theJ~woulI not have d-nouneed AMI prohi
ted it,
Dr. Adam Clark, in hisscomment on the I7th
verse Of the twentieth eskIpter of Exodus,
wherein the right of propertyin humln beings
Eof an inferior race is recognized, which reads.
'Thou shalt not covet thy neghbors house, wife
nor his man servant, nor his maid servant, nor
his OK, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy
