To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The ( 70 ) Israelites were greatly oppressed, when in Egypt, by the imposition of heavy tasks; but we do not read of their being shot, whipped, burnt, or starved to death, as the slaves have been in this country — but the Israelites cried unto God in their afflictions, and he relieved them. Just so it will probably be in our country, the hand of the Lord is not slackened, neither will he turn a deaf ear to the groans of the afflicted. The cries of the poor distressed slaves have no doubt ascend...ed up unto God, and he will, in his appointed time, enable them, like the Israelites, to march with a high hand, and " spoil the Egyptian. '' Be- sides the cruelties mentioned in the be- ginning of this work, — we read in dif- ferent authors on this subject, that in some places it is customary for the owners to brand their names, with a red hot iron, on the foreheads of the slaves, and, also, make them work, chained constantly to a heavy weight, to prevent them from running away, — that some have been muzzled like the ox, to prevent them from eating the fruity ( 71 ) or drinking the juice of the cane, &c.
