To suppose it right, that an innocent Man shall at this Day be excluded from the common Rules of Justice ; be deprived of that Liberty, which is the natural Right of human Creatures ; and be a Slave to others during Life, on Account of a Sin committed by his immediate Parents ; or a Sin committed by Ham, the Son of Noah ; is a Supposition too gross to be admitted into the Mind of any Person, who sincerely desires to be governed by solid Principles.
