To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Yet these two nations hold more human beings in bondage, than all the rest of the civilized world put together ; where can you find the blessings of peace set forth more impressively, than in an un- principled declaration of war ? It is mere romance to suppose that the influence of Christianity is felt, when men only cease to condemn their crimes. But if we can see this point gained, it is something ; it may encourage us to redouble our ef- forts to bring about the desired reform. Still we must... not regard the nations as fully persuaded to be Christian, because they tremble for a moment like Fe- lix before the eloquence of Paul ; for though Christian- ity simply condemns the practice, men, influenced by Christianity, must go so far as to put down the prac- tice ; for right judgement is not the same with right conduct ; and men must act upon their principles, be- fore they can deserve the name of Christians. A third reason of the limited influence of Christian- ity is that we consider this [)oint as gained already.
