To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
42), what the author means by " the masters' sustaining the benefit of redemption, " I am quite too dull to appre- hend. I suspect the meaning of the canon is, sub- stantially, " that the slaves of the church or of the priests should not be allowed to plunder or take captives, because it is not reasonable that the eccle- siastical discipline should be stained by an excessive accumulation of slaves, while the masters are accus- tomed to afford them the favour of redemption. " If something like t...his is the sense of the canon, of Avhich I would not be sure, it shows that it was usual for masters to emanci2:)ate their slaves, or to redeem slaves that they might set them free. When a slave was to be ordained (I^o. 43), nothing was more reasonable than to require the consent of the master as a proof of proper character. And ob- serve that in the case of a freedman the consent of his former master is required, for a similar purpose. The canon of the council of Macon (No. 44) allow- ing the Christian slave of a Jew to be extorted from his master at a fixed price, is as clear a departure by the church from the apostolic precept, as any act SLAVERY AND THE CIIUllCK.
