The answer is: defend.  The whole purpose in a<em> Persuasive Essay</em> is to try to <em>convince</em> the readers about certain things. This requires that the writer take a firm position, <em>defending his points</em>.  He doesn't present the other side, but, because he believes he is suggesting ideas that will make things better, he invites participation and advises that if the ideas are not embraced, things might not get better.

schepotkina [342]

It has logic and emotion, but mostly logic.  His logic is very clear that if you follow the bible you shouldn't condemned slavery and killings of hundred of people. When practicing the bible and being christians one has to act like christ and follow the teachings of him and the bible.  They cannot prove Joseph's enslavement as wrong, but still enslave people who were like Joseph. In it Sewall not only condemns the practice of human trafficking, but goes on to challenge many common slave owners held  the practice of enslavement and yet still be followers of God. He uses Joseph as example to bring light to what they are doing wrong. Sewall also cites several Biblical passages which Sewall uses to make a of the practice of man stealing. Using logic is very clear in his writing about people just choosing to ignore themselves on being a hypocrite and make them question their own strong held belief.
