egated multitude of human beings in relation to their complexions, differing as widely from each other as do black and white, then the blood of the white and the black man, did not flow in the veins of Adam, as such, or in this variegated condition, so as to produce by natural generation, black, white, and red, with all the hues of the human race intermixedly, like cattle or the fowls of the air.
Adam's blood, as the text reads, was but one blood only, not many bloods. This one blood could produce of itself, naturally, but one general character of human beings; this we think, is an incontrovertible position, proved true in the experience of all ages, by the progenies of the different races which now exist.
This was certainly the opinion of St. Luke, who was a physician, and of course a learned man — a philosopher, who wrote the famous passage above alluded to, as well as the whole book in which that passage is found; for he calls the blood of Adam in that scripture, one blood and no more.
Of this one blood God made the two other bloods, as we have shown on the first pages of this work. Into these two new bloods, God infused, or created, two secreting principles; one depositing between the outer and secondary skin of the body of one of these men a white mucus, causing the skin of that man to be white, and between the outer and inner skin of the other a black mucus, causing that man to be black.
That such is the fact now, is well known to physiologists, who admit that these mucuses cause the difference in the colors of all the human complexions. Did all these mucuses float between the inner and
