Fuller, and it does not appear that Dr. Wayland has given to this point any particular attention. Its bearing, however, on the main question, is direct and momentous. We now revert to the position of Dr. Fuller, that the Roman law established slavery ; that the scripture addresses those who held the relation of master and slave, and is silent as to the duty of emancipation. To this assumption Dr. Wayland readily concedes, remarking, "I think it must be evident that the precepts of the New Testa...ment furnish no justification of slavery, whether they be considered either absolutely, or in relation to the usage of the Roman empire at the time of Christ. AND SLAVERY. 17 All that can justly be said, seems to me to be this : the New Testament contains no precept pro- hibitory of slavery. This must, I think, be granted ; but this is all. " Page 89. The mode in which the new dispensation is supposed to have borne upon the slave-system is thus expressed by Dr. Wayland : " By teaching the master his own accountability ; by instilling into his mind the mild and humanizing truths of Christianity ; by showing him the folly of sen- suality and luxury, and the happiness derived from industry, frugality, and benevolence, it would prepare him, of his own accord, to liberate his slave, and to use all his influence toward the abolition of those laws by which slavery was maintained.
