Extract of a letter to a gentleman in Maryland wherein is demonstrated the extreme wickedness of tolerating the slave trade, in order to favour the illegalities of our colonies, where the two first foundations of English law (two witnesses of God), are supplanted by opposite (and, of course, illegal) ordinances, which occasions a civil death of the English constitution, so that these two witnesses may be said to lie dead in all the West India islands!
