And, doubtlesS, to'many minds a con

vinco him that the bible is not tho

awful tendency of suelr.reasoning, wo
should make, as if it was the least in

lowly Jesus, the Author of, our bible,
whose bosom - was,.and is, the very'
temple of bersp7olenco, can bo'phargo
able with building an institution which
does such violence to all the attributes
of liiii Nature?
TG;is contended that because ,slavery
prevailed in the grecian and Roman
empires, tlierefere'the'primitive Chris

why not contend that t hebaise some
emperors gloried in'tliiSir intoxication'
upon hrman blood; wrlin fora'hUnd-1

subjects, upen' the gery ; altar:of their

fested their mingled wickedness, am-'
hition and folly, in such acts of cruelty,
debauchery, and folly; as forbade:the
historian-,to record their deeds of dark

: Again, it is stoutly insisted upon,
: that
