Those theorists are ministers and professors of the faith of the Son of God. They have not only thus desecrated their holy profession, but they have taken a part of God's word and construed it into a commission to shed the innocent blood of his creatures. Noah cursed his grand son Canaan, and this dooms the black man to slavery, and constitutes the white man the slaveholder! Astounding! Why, then, is Nero called a tyrant? Is not the appellation applied to him in too great haste? May not the import of his name have given him the right to set his foot upon the neck of the Roman people?. . . I have shown that the Africans are not Canaanites; and therefore admitting that the passage is correctly construed by them, then it follows that they have mistaken their game. They must discharge the Africans, compensate them for false enslavement, and go and get Canaanites.
