To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
1. Every man is bound not to glory in, or speak honour of, the powerful and unjust actions of his ancestors: but as all the sons of Adam are bound to be ashamed of that origi- nal stain which they derived from the loins of their abused father, they must be humbled in it, they must deplore it as an evil mother, and a troublesome daughter ; so must child- ren account it amongst the crosses of their family, and the stains of their honour, that they passed through so impure channels, that in the se...nse of morality as well as nature they can **say to corruption, ITiou art my father, and to rot- tenness, thou art my mother." I do not say that sons are bound to publish or declaim against their fathers' crimes, and to speak of their shame in piazzas and before tribunals ; that, indeed, were a sure way to bring their fathers' sins upon their own heads, by their own faults. No : like Shem and Japhet, they must go backward, and cast a veil upon their nakedness and shame, lest they bring the curse of their fa- thers' angry dishonour upon their own impious and unrelent- ing heads.
