For many years I have had a desire of writing down what has occurred to my mind, either in reading, thinking, or conversation, which might assist serious persons, who have not the advantage of learning, in understanding the New Testament. It will be easily discerned that the Notes were not principally designed for men of learning, who are provided with many other helps; and much less for men of long and deep experience in the ways and Word of God. But I write chiefly for plain, unlettered men, who understand only their mother tongue, and yet reverence and love the Word of God, and have a desire to save their souls. - Preface.

A refutation of all arguments in favor of slavery, and outright condemnation of the practice. Proposes that only the discovery of America and the need for cheap labor brought back the slavery of "barbarous times" and refutes the idea that slavery rescues blacks from appalling conditions in Africa or improves their lot. He produces damning details of how Africans are procured and brought to America, attempting to show that slavery is inhumane, barbaric and cruel. He questions whether the system is defensible under any law, and denies that its cruelty justifies the economic advantage it gives the South. The tract ends with an appeal to those involved in the slave trade to quit the practice. Appended to Wesley's essay is a sermon extract from the Bishop of Gloucester.
