igitur considerantes, quod contra Catholicam fidem insurgentibus, Christianamque religionem
extinguere molientibus, ea virtute, et alia constantia a Christi fidelibus est resistendum, ut fideles
ipsi fidei ardore succensi virtutibusque pro posse succincti detestandum illorum propositum, non
solum obice intentionis contraire impediant, si ex oppositione roboris iniquos conatus prohibeant,
et Deo, cui militant, ipsis assistente, perfidorum substernant molimenta, nosque divino amore
communiti, Christianorum charitate invitati, officiique pastoralis astricti debito, ea, quae fidei, pro
qua Christus Deus noster sanguine effudit, integritatem, augmentumque respiciunt nobis fidelium
animis vigorem, tuamque Regiam Magestatem in hujusmodi santissimo proposito confovere
merito cupientes, tibi Sarracenos, et paganos, aliosque infideles, et Christi inimicos quoscunque,
et ubicunque constitutos regna, ducatus, comiatatus, principatus aliaque domina, terras, loca,
villas, castra, et quaecunque alia possessiones, bona mobilia et immobilia in quibuscunque rebus
consistenia, et quocunque nomine censeantur, per eosdem Sarracenos, paganos, infideles, et
Christi inimicos detenta, et possessa, ettiam cujuscunque seu quorumcunque regis, seu principis,
aut regum, vel principum regna, ducatus, comitatus, principatus, aliaque domminia, terrae, loca,
villae, castra, possessiones, et bona hujusmodi fuerint, invadendi, conquerendi, expugnandi, et
subjugandi, illorumque personas in perpetuam servitutem redigendi, regna quoque, ducatus,
comitatus, principatus, aliaque domina, possessiones, et bona hujusmodi, tibi et successoribus tuis
Regibus Portugalliae, perpetuo applicandi, et appropriandi, ac in tuos, et eorundem successorum
usus et utilitates convertendi plenam et liberam, auctoritate apostolic, tenore praesentium
concedimus facultatem…” Jordão Bullarium, p. 22 (Jordão, Levy Maria. Bullarium patronatus
Portugalliae regum in ecclesiis Africae, Asiae atque Oceaniae : bullas, brevia, epistolas, decreta
actaque Sanctae Sedis ab Alexandro III ad hoc usque tempus amplectens / curante Levy Maria
Jordão. Olisipone : Ex Typographia nationali, 1868-1879, p.22.) It would be noticed that this
bull sanctions the enslaving of infidels.”

“The laws of Kentucky, My native state, with Maryland and Virginia, which are said to
be the mildest slave States in the Union, noted for their humanity, Christianity and
democracy, declare that ‘Any slave, for rambling in the night, or riding horseback
without leave, or running away, may be punished by whipping, cropping and branding on
the cheek, or otherwise, not rendering him unfit for labor.’ ‘Any slave convicted of petty
larceny, murder, or willfully burning of dwelling houses, may be sentenced to have his
right hand cut off; to be hanged in the usual manner, or the head severed from the body,
the body divided into four quarters, and quarters stuck up in the most public place in the
country, where such act was committed.”- Bibb, 35
