Letter 16. By relinquishment, Spain will clear her morals
and reputation from the taint of the Slave trade
and Slaveholding Spaniards!doth Slave-buying and Slave-holding, bell-Stains expunged.
Yes: I have, (you see) this other honor for you:
yes: and this too without cost. You will cleame cleame yourselves of this
foulest of all political and moral leprosies. Yes, and not You will become clean;
and, to your being so, nor so much as she be aible of a dip into a river will be requisite.
And Happily, as it is - that, in your Peninsula, no man either buys Slaves
or keepes Slaves: if to any Peninsular Spaniard it happens,
so defile himself with these abominations, he is lives out of the
Country, or at any rate sends his money out of it. and and in doing so with his money, is not seen or heard to do what he does. True,
it may perhaps be said, morality will so far be preserved
inviolate, conscience unwounded, dishonor escaped: but
still no honor, no positive honor, gained.
