Rules concerning Christian Slaves.
JEws must not be suffer'd to keep Christian Slaves, altho Christians are oblig'd to pay them the Rents of the Lands which they hire from them, B. 3. Ep. 21. The Law which grants freedom to Jewish Slaves who become Christians, ought to be extended to Pagan Slaves also who are bought by Jews when they become Christians. The Jews have three Months allow'd them, after they are bought, to sell them to a Christian, but after this time, if they continue still with them, they shall be set at Liberty, because 'tis to be presum'd, since they do not sell them in three Months time, that they have a design to keep them for their own Service, B. 5. Ep. 31. This time is also restrain'd to the term of forty days after they shall arrive, B. 7. Ind. 2. Ep. 35. St. Gregory prays the Queen Brune∣hauld to cause forbid the Jews in her Kingdom to keep Christian Slaves, B. 7. Ind. 2. Ep. 115. A Form of Enfranchising them, B. 5. Ep. 12. The Slaves of Jews who take Sanctuary in the Churches, ought not to be restor'd unto them, B. 3. Ep. 9.
