Excerpt from Fugitive Slaves: A Sermon, Preached in the North Congregational Church, Winchendon, on the Day of the Annual Fast, April 11, 1850 I. This was one of the municipal laws of the Hebrews. It was undoubtedly enacted in accordance with the divine will, and it has been handed down to os by divine inspiration. But being a law for the Hebrews, it has no relation to us except so far as the principle on which it was founded is of general appli cation. If, however, the law was based on a moral principle of universal extent, then we are bound to act according to it, although this particular enactment has never had a place in our statute book.
