Yet the seed of Ham will be servants untill God takes the Curse off from them. But they are not all the Slaves their is in the world. The whole world are Slaves to sin & wickedness & passion. I Have two Blacks. They are as free as I am. Shall we lay a foundation for Negro Slavery? No God forbid And I forbid. I say let us be free.
