To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Another insists upon the essential and indestruc- tible personality of men, and vituperates slavery as reducing human beings to the condition of chattels and of things, as if it were possi- ble that human legislation could convert matter into mind or mind into matter, or as if slavery were not professedly a relation of man to man. The arguments from this and all similar grounds can be easily answered. It will be found, in every case, either that the principle assumed is false in itself or disto...rted in its application, or that the whole discussion proceeds on a gratuitous hypothesis in regard to the nature of slavery. But whether they can be answered or not, no deductions of man can set aside the authority of God. The Bible is supreme, and as long as it allows the institution, the Church should not dare to rebuke it. In a court of Jesus Christ we would not think of presenting any consideration as conclusive, but thus saith the Lord. But when the argument is professedly conducted from the Bible, it is in violation of the great principle that Scripture is its own in- terpreter.
