Indeed, the radicals were at first depressed by it; but when months passed with no appearance of a servile war and when the second emancipation proclamation of January, 1863, further certified the moral purpose of the North, a great element of strength was added to the English advocates of democracy.

The high-priestly court, however, decided that Jesus was worthy of death, and so certified when they handed Him over to Pilate.
