Excerpt from The Character and Influence of Abolitionism: A Sermon Preached in the First Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, Last Evening Let whatever Christian slaves are under the yoke of unbe lievers pay their own masters all respect and obedience, that the character of God whom we worship may not be calumni ated, and the doctrine of the gospel may not be evil spoken of, as tending to destroy the political rights of mankind. And those Christian slaves who have believing masters, let them not despise them, fancying that they are their equals because they are their brethren in Christ; for, though all Christians are equal as to religious privileges, slaves are inferior to their masters in station. Wherefore, let them serve their masters more diligently, because they who enjoy the benefit of their service are believers and beloved of God. These things teach, and exhort the brethren to practice them. If any one teach differently by affirming that under the gospel slaves are not bound to serve their masters, but ought to be made free, and does not consent to the wholesome commandments which are our Lord Jesus Christ's, and to the doctrine of the gospel which inall points is conformable to true morality, he is puff ed up with pride and knoweth nothing either of the Jewish or Christian revelations, though he pretends to have great knowl edge of both. But is distempered in his mind about idle questions and debates of words which afford no foundation for such a doctrine, but are the source of envy, content-ion, evil speaking, unjust suspicion that the truth is not sincerely main tained, keen disputings carried on contrary to conscience, by men wholly corrupt in their minds, and destitute of the true doctrine of the gospel, who reckon whatever produces the most money is the best religion; from all [such impious teachers withdraw thyself, and do not dispute with them.
