in mitigation of the aforesaid natural and legitimate
slavery, certain rights.
But, such is the nature of men, and in particular

composed itself into been productive of corresponding beneficence, so sure will
after the grant under one day of on whatsoever day
the grant has been passed, so sure will on the next and all
succeeding days will his wisdom be occupied in taking
