July 24, 1725: John Newton, author of "Amazing Grace" and other hymns, is born in London.
Converted to Christianity while working on a slave ship, he hoped as a Christian to restrain the worst excesses of the slave trade, "promoting the life of God in the soul" of both his crew and his African cargo.
In 1764 he became an Anglican minister and each week wrote a hymn to be sung to a familiar tune.
In 1787 Newton wrote Thoughts Upon the African Slave Trade to help William Wilberforce's campaign to end the slave trade (see issue 31: The Golden Age of Hymns).

That dualistic view was that normal bodily functions had no abiding significance and were therefore of no ultimate consequence.

1 Corinthians (3.
The Sanctity of the Body (6:12–20))
“The destiny of the body stands in direct contrast to the destiny of “food and the stomach.”
The latter will be destroyed, but the body will be raised from the dead.
The body was not meant for dishonorable purposes but rather for God’s glory (6:20)” — Mark Taylor, 1 Corinthians, vol.
