16 Feby 1813 Church II Topics Ch 6. Declarations
7 §.1 Abstract
Part

To all thinking
& generous minds,
such a mind were
in such a state of
slavery, can not
fail to be an
object of disesteem.

In the eyes of all thinking in proportion as they are
pure and generous socially disposed minds, a mind thus shackled will
present itself thus self shackled a mind from which if
it be not already insincere, the faculty of preserving in
case of change its sincerity and thence the faculty of
applying itself with employing itself in the track of firm straight-forward
and enquiry is taken away - a mind in a
and which at in whatsoever immature a state period and under
whatsoever system of excuse and exhaustion has put upon
itself the yoke of slavery, can not fail to present itself
in a point of view in a character more or less deserving
of esteem disesteem.

To every such enslaved
mind this
must be more or
less apparent -
And proportioned
to its thoughts of
being of an object
of ill will, will
be its ill will towards
others.

Of this every mind To this its disgrace than circumstances
let it take what course it may for comforting itself, can
not but be more or less sensible. But in proportional
to the immenseness which a man feels at the thought, of less being
to others an object of disesteem or ill will, or the ill
will which as , he will naturally harbour
he can hardly prevent himself from harbouring fail to harbour - in his
own breast

By way of contrast -
liberty will be odious
to him. and Those
who possess it he
will endeavour to
strip of it, & then
in his own predicament
to keep
8. Moral Depravation by
strength given to the
dissocial affections.

(2)?
Mischief the 8th. Depravation of the usual part of mans
frame: viz. by provocation stimulus applied and strength given to the
dissocial affections.

(1)?
In the way of contrast, by their liberty the sense of his immenseness produced by the
own thraldom will be aggravated. To take it will be an
object of envy. he will envy them the possessors of it. This wish
for endurance will be to them of it.

W For the like corresponding same in to those who as
will have in that yoke his wish the endeavour will be to prevent
them from being liberated from it. By their sinister and adverse interest
he will then be rendered
an enemy to the liberty
an enemy to the happiness
well being of all who are
is the same
his degraded lot., as well
of all who stand exempt from it.
