The space between G and H includes the space of fifty years, in which we find but few labourers in this cause.

That between H and I includes the same portion of time, in which we find them considerably increased, or nearly doubled.

That between I and K represents the next thirty-seven years; but here we find their increase beyond all expectation, for we find four times more labourers in this short term, than in the whole of the preceding century.
In looking over the map, as thus explained, a number of thoughts suggested themselves, some of which it may not be improper to detail.
And first, in looking between the first and second parallel, we perceive, that Morgan Godwyn, Richard Baxter, and George Fox, the first a clergyman of the established church, the second a divine at the head of the nonconformists, and the third the founder of the religious society of the Quakers, appeared each of them the first in his own class, and all of them, about the same time, in behalf of the oppressed Africans.

This account of its rise will furnish us with some important lessons.
And first, it shows us the great value of religion.

We see, when moral disorders become known, that the virtuous are they who rise up for the removal of them.
