If There Was No Bible,

When I Was At Hartford In Connecticut, Where I Lived During The War, I Published Several Pieces Which Were Well Received, Not Only By Those Of My Own Colour, But By A Number Of The White People, Who Thought They Might Do Good Among Their Servants.

If We Should Ever Get To Heaven, We Shall Find Nobody To Reproach Us For Being Black, Or For Being Slaves.

If You See Most People Neglect The Bible, And Many That Can Read Never Look Into It, Let It Not Harden You And Make You Think Lightly Of It, And That It Is A Book Of No Worth.

Besides All This, If You Are Idle, And Take To Bad Courses, You Will Hurt Those Of Your Brethren Who Are Slaves, And Do All In Your Power To Prevent Their Being Free.

You Know That Murder Is Wicked. If You Saw Your Master Kill A Man, Do You Suppose This Would Be Any Excuse For You, If You Should Commit The Same Crime?
