    So a double tendency is noted as

    appearing already in

    the thirteenth century:

    to accept slavery as

    an essential condition of social

    life, and yet at the same time

    to exalt the power of election,

    to insist upon the essential

    equality of all men,

    and even to bless

    those who set free their slaves.

    St Maurice, Magdeburg, 1250
