To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
God sends many messages to Pharoah. In no one of them does He reprove him for the abuses of the relation into which he had forced the Jews. In no one of them is he called on to correct the evils which had grown out of that relation. But, in every one, does God go to the root of the evil, and command Pharoah, " let my people go" — " let my people go, that they may serve me. " The abolitionist is reproachfully called an " ultraist" and " an immediatist. " It seems that God was both, when dealing ...with this royal slaveholder : — for He commanded Pharoah, not to mitigate the bondage of tha Israelites, but to deliver them from it — and that, too, immediately. The system of slavery is wicked in God's sight, and, therefore, did He require of Pharoah its immediate abandonment. The phrase, " let my people go, that they may serve me, " shows most strikingly one feature of resemblance between Egyptian and American slavery. Egyptian slavery did not allow its subjects to serve God, neither does American.
