nicious notions, fatal to the 1703 royal prerogative, were improving daily; and, though Quarry Virginia protested against the charge of republicanism, as an unfounded reproach, yet colonial opinion, the offspring of free inquiry, which seclusion awakened, the woods sheltered, and the self — will of slaveholders fortified, was more than a counterpoise to the prerogative of the British crown. In former ages, no colony had ever enjoyed a happier freedom. From the days of the insurrection of Bacon, for a period of three quarters of a century, Virginia possessed uninterrupted peace.

amiable enthusiast Anthony Benezet. But did not Christianity enfranchise its converts? The Christian world of that day almost universally revered in Christ the impersonation of the divine wisdom. Could an intelligent being, who, through the Mediator, had participated in the Spirit of God, and, Chap.

From New England to Carolina, the notion prevailed, that being baptized is inconsistent with a state of slavery; and this early apprehension proved a main obstacle to the culture and conversion of these poor people. The sentiment was so deep and so general, that South Carolina in 1712, Maryland in 1715, Virginia repeatedly from 1667 to Hen.
