THE LAW
OF
PASSIVE OBEDIENCE;
OR
CHRISTIAN SUBMISSION TO PERSONAL INJURIES:
WHEREIN IS SHOWN, THAT THE SEVERAL TEXTS OF SCRIPTURE, WHICH COMMAND THE ENTIRE SUBMISSION OF SERVANTS OR SLAVES TO THEIR MASTERS, CANNOT AUTHORIZE THE LATTER TO EXACT AN INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE, NOR, IN THE LEAST DEGREE, JUSTIFY THE CLAIMS OF MODERN SLAVEHOLDERS.
BY GRANVILLE SHARP
"Servants, obey in all things (your) masters, according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing God;" &c.—Coloss. iii. 22.
PUBLISHED IN LONDON IN THE YEAR 1776.
