The law may set limits to the term of such a
contract: it may in other ways apply a check
to the improvidence of Jacob Esau and the rapacity
of Esau Jacob, and not suffer let the whole of the reserved
birth-right be a be given for a mess of pottage. It
may shew a tenderness for the liberty of felons now after its period
of expiation: though it shows none for the deluded
youth who sees stripling whom it suffers to sell himself to blood and arbitrary
Government
for life.

Brand not with the name of oppression, brand not, if you have any regard to consistency,
the with the any such invidious name of oppression
the favour there shown perception facility thus given to the Master-manufacturer
in his dealings with an untrustworthy
servant. To sacrifice the interest of the journeyman
to the master that of the poor to that of the rich is the whole
spirit and tendency of your laws. It is a
maxim that the degree pay of the workman, the
patrimony of the poor, can not be reduced too
low: and the rich through out constant and
universal conspiracy of the rich throughout the
nation is encouraged and protected: by your laws.
while the poor, if they do but offer to confer consider
with one another and with though it be in peace and silence
how to defend themselves against this conspiracy,
they are are branded with the name of conspirators ranked with malefactors, and crushed
chastened with all the severity rigour of the law.
