I have endeavoured to set before you the exceeding sinfulness of slavery, and to point you to the example of those noble women who have been raised up in the church to effect great revolutions, and to suffer for the truth's sake.
Grimké highlights the moral imperative against slavery and the inspiring examples of women in the church who have fought for justice.

There is nothing to fear from immediate Emancipation, but every thing from the continuance of slavery.
They were occasioned not by Emancipation, but by the base attempt to fasten the chains of slavery on the limbs of liberated slaves.
Slavery may produce these horrible scenes if it is continued five years longer, but Emancipation never will.
What can I say more, my friends, to induce you to set your hands, and heads, and hearts, to this great work of justice and mercy.
