Quote★★★
Sinful customs have destroyed their thousands and ten thousands. To prevent such dreadful evils, must be the duty of every person, so far as his power and influence extend. Nor will any one’s conscience excuse him, if he neglects this plain and important duty. Though men desire to be excused ; though they devise arguments of excuse; and though the arguments they devise in their own defence may lead others to excuse them ; yet nothing will effectually excuse them before their own enlightened consciences.

The point
Sinful cultural customs have destroyed multitudes, and every person has a duty to resist and prevent such evils to the extent of their power and influence.
