The Next Thing I Would

Let All The Time You Can Get Be Spent In Trying To Learn To Read.

The Bible Is A Revelation Of The Mind And Will Of God To Men. Therein We May Learn, What God Is.

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.

I Suppose I Have Had More Advantages And Privileges Than Most Of You, Who Are Slaves Have Ever Known, And I Believe More Than Many White People Have Enjoyed, For Which I Desire To Bless God, And Pray That He May Bless Those Who Have Given Them To Me.

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