In every small question of politics, there appears to me room to consider the times and seasons. But where a real moral evil is in question, a man who fears God is not at liberty. Even if I thought that the immediate Abolition of the Slave Trade would cause an insurrection in our islands, I should not for an instant stop my endeavors. Be persuaded, then, if I would not stop because of insurrection, I shall even less sacrifice this grand cause to motives of political convenience or personal feeling.
