Read it through once

It was impressed on my mind in early life, that there was much error and misconception among Christian slaveholders in general, in reference to their obligations to their slaves, and a long residence among them has but strengthened and confirmed those convictions. I have no reference here to those who view slave property in the same light, that they do every other species of property; but to conscientious and humane men. I allude to you, who profess to be the followers of the meek and lowly Jesus--you, who take the Bible for the man of your council--you, who profess to be the servants of that God who is no respector of persons--you, who profess to be under the influence of that religion which recognizes every man as a brother beloved, for whom Christ shed his precious blood.
