To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

It commands us to trample on theweak and defenceless, to persecute the oppressed, to be accomplicesin defrauding honest laborers of their wages. It forbids us toshelter the homeless, to protect abused innocence, to feed thehungry, to "hide the outcast. " Let theological casuists argue asthey will, Christian hearts _will_ shrink from thinking of Jesus assurrendering a fugitive slave; or of any of his apostles, unless itbe Judas. Political casuists may exercise their skill in making theworse appe...ar the better reason, still all honest minds have anintuitive perception that no human enactment which violates God'slaws is worthy of respect. By what law of God can we justify thetreatment of Margaret Garner? the surrender of Sims and Burns? thepitiless persecution of that poor little "famished hand"?
There is another consideration, which ought alone to have sufficientweight with us to deter us from attempting to carry out thistyrannical enactment. All history, and all experience, show it to bean immutable law of God, that whosoever injures another, injureshimself in the process.
