Overview

Excerpt from The Sinfulness of Colonial Slavery: A Lecture, Delivered at the Monthly Meeting of Congregational Ministers and Churches The law - nu erstanding by that expression, not the tables of ten commandments, which, being the transcript of the divine purity, must remain in all ages unalterably fixed, but the national law of the J ews - was in morals, as the ceremonial in doctrines, a schoolmaster to lead them to Christ. It was a restriction upon old, I might say, inveterate, practices, prepa ratory to their express and absolute prohibition. Such were the law of divorce, the law of polygamy, and the law of the goel, or avenger of blood. So, by the restriction on slavery, the law was a schoolmaster to lead to the pure morality, the generous liberty, the impartial justice, and the universal charity of the gospel.
