Excerpt from A Discourse, on the Moral, Legal and Domestic Condition of Our Colored Population: Preached Before the Vermont Colonization Society, at Montpelier, October 17, 1832 Every one must see that the words which we have chosen as an appropriate introduction to the subject now before us, apply with peculiar force to the people of this land and to the circumstances of the age and country in which we live. Many of our ancestors were once oppressed in the land of their birth for the truth's sake, but God delivered them out of all their troubles and brought them to this Canaan of liberty and plenty and distinguished christian privileges. Again, at a subsequent period, our fathers were oppressed and threatened with an 'egyptian bondage, ' and again, the Lord redeemed them, and brought them out 'with a strong hand and an outstretched arm.'
