A42952 | And, Hath a Nation changed their Gods, which are yet no Gods? |
A42952 | And, when they thus see me upon taking away their Gods, it will be but a very sensless and unreasonable Question to demand, What aileth them? |
A42952 | But of what Spirit must those then be that do neglect and hinder it? |
A42952 | By what Authority or Law, he could do this to that or any other Person? |
A42952 | For the next; I would fain know what kind of Merchants these are, who will be displeased upon this occasion? |
A42952 | For, how can it be endured that a Nation once so famous for Zeal and Piety, should now at last become infamous for Irreligion? |
A42952 | Foundation which they had before laid? |
A42952 | Had it not been much more proper for them to have asked, What have we to do with their Land and Labour, or thus to captivate and oppress them? |
A42952 | However since these do it, where is then the impracticableness thereof? |

A42952 | That she should prostrate her self to that foul Idol Mammon, and worship Trade? |
A42952 | That we should be so much out- done who formerly did so infinitely out- doe all others? |
A42952 | What? |
A42952 | Where are the guilty Parties amongst us? |
A42952 | Why TRIMMEST thou thy way? |
A42952 | Yea, we act as tho the Prophet had mistook, and talked impertinently, when he demanded, Have we not all one father, and did not one God create us? |
A42952 | is all but Lyes? |
A42952 | of being such, who will do no right, nor take any wrong, fixed upon them; yet who knows how far our Assiduity may in like manner prevail? |

A53252 | As we went along, they that were in the Gardens heard us passing by, and called to us, who comes there? |
A53252 | At last we comforted, and encouraged one another, and entred into close Counsel, where we should meet that Night? |
A53252 | At what time? |
A53252 | Did this danger find me in my Duty? |
A53252 | Employed in the most reasonable, and honourable Services? |
A53252 | How can this little Cock- Boat hope and Escape, When Scripture Suffers Piracy and Rape? |
A53252 | How many have made Ship- wrack of Faith, that they might not be Chained to the Galliees? |
A53252 | I have heard them say, of a Drunken Slave; A Christian? |
A53252 | I might be Questioned in point of Ingenuity, how I could be so unworthy to leave him, who had Loved me? |
A53252 | If any shall be so Inquisitive, as to ask, by what Directions we steared our Course, that we did not tack about insensibly in the dark Night or Day? |
A53252 | If any thing could be mingled with Bondage to make it sweet? |
A53252 | It might be a Question in point of Prudence; for, where could I hope to mend my self? |
A53252 | Lord, thou hast given this great Deliverance into the hands of thy Servants, and now shall we dye for Thirst? |
A53252 | My Patron had a fair Farm in the Countrey, about twelve miles from the City, whither he took me along with him? |
A53252 | Or better my Condition? |
A53252 | Perhaps, after all this, the Reader will be earnest to be satisfied, why this Narrative has lain so long Dormant, and appeared no sooner in the World? |
A53252 | Rebuked our selves, We do not well, we have glad Tidings to carry, and do we hold our peace? |
A53252 | Secondly, whether we were in the way of Gods Promise when we escaped out of their Hands? |
A53252 | Serving his Glory? |
A53252 | Shall I so ill requite the Lord''s kindness to me? |
A53252 | That is, whether it were not better to go back to Algires with ease, then painfully make towards Freedom? |
A53252 | That the Project had its difficulties, was confessed; but what has not, that is Commendable, and Glorious? |
A53252 | Thou servest him that Prays with thee, and for thee: dost thou repine? |
A53252 | Was I doing his work? |
A53252 | Was I in Gods High- way, or in some by path of my own? |
A53252 | We were now so dispirited, that we debated, whether we should bare up with the Wind, or make the best of our way, and Row against it? |
A53252 | What I did with my Shop and Goods? |
A53252 | What Trade should we drive there? |
A53252 | Where we should put our Boat together, and where put to Sea? |
A53252 | if any thing could Reconcile Slavery to Nature? |

A53252 | what strength they were of at Land? |
A53252 | whence we came? |
A53252 | whither we went? |
A63791 | And again, Did ever the Wrath of Man accomplish the Righteousness of God? |
A63791 | And do not such Offences require a strict Hand, and severe Punishments? |
A63791 | And do you black Heathenish Negroes then dane compare your selves with us brave white Christians? |
A63791 | And does not every one fancy his own Opinion to be the only Truth, and condemn the Sentiments of others, how well grounded soever they may be? |
A63791 | And how many are yearly with their Families utterly ruined thereby? |
A63791 | And how ready are we to go, run, work, watch and defend our Masters ▪ and to preserve their Rights? |
A63791 | And if so, are we not of as good Parentage, as ancient a Family, as noble a Descent as the best of you? |
A63791 | And is it not a strange,& an unheard of thing, that a fourth or fifth part every Year should dye, and be made away with, more than there are born? |
A63791 | And our Ill is your Loss, are we not your Money? |
A63791 | And though we are never so submissive, can not the kindled Wrath raise up other Enemies to destroy you and yours in a Moment? |
A63791 | And what a small matter more than you allow us, might plentifully supply us? |
A63791 | And what grievous Diseases do such Debauches occasion both present, and for the future? |
A63791 | And what, I pray, might be the Result of our wise Worships speculations? |
A63791 | Are not all our Senses as good and quick as yours? |
A63791 | Are not our Bodies of as proportionable a Frame, and as well furnisht with useful Limbs? |

A63791 | Are they not all long since crusht to pieces by one another, because their Foundations were laid in Violence and Spoil, Injustice and Oppressions? |
A63791 | Are we not endued with a reflex Power, whereby to condemn or approve our own Actions as they are either good or evil? |
A63791 | Are we not, if we had the advantages of Education, altogether as docible, and apt to learn Arts and Sciences as any of you? |
A63791 | As how I pray? |
A63791 | But I pray, is it not your Cruelty, in not affording us what is sufficient to support Nature otherwise; that makes us do it? |
A63791 | But how does this consist or agree with the Violence, Injustice and Oppressions which you exercise upon us? |
A63791 | But pray, have you this Prerogative from your Descent or Pedigree? |
A63791 | Can any thing be more preposterously absurd, more foolishly wicked, than these interferring Contradictions? |
A63791 | Can you your selves think, whilst you are awake and sober, that Perfideousness will avail you, and Rebellion save you? |
A63791 | Do not hot Countries presently set open all the Gates and secret Passages of Nature, even to the very Centre? |
A63791 | Do not many of your learnd Ones boast of their Lights and Knowledge, and count all others little better than Brutes in comparison of themselves? |
A63791 | Do not we see it a common Practice amongst the Christians, to drink to Drunkenness, and eat to Superfluity and Gluttony? |
A63791 | Do these things taste or favour of Christianity? |
A63791 | Do you not invent an hundred Superfluities and needless Toys, to gratifie your own, and your Childrens Pallates and Sensuality? |
A63791 | Does not your very Hue, that sooty Skin of yours, serve for an Emblem of the darkness of your Minds? |
A63791 | Does this savour of the true Christian Spirit? |
A63791 | For why should you oppress us, by whose Labours you are sustained? |
A63791 | For your Garments, Houses, Furniture,& c. who can exceed your Pride, and Vanity? |
A63791 | Hath he endued you with any particular Quality or Property more then we are furnisht with? |
A63791 | Have not you variety of Complexions amongst your selves; some very White and Fair, others Brown, many Swarthy, and several Cole- black? |

A63791 | How dare you upbraid us that have the Light of the Gospel? |
A63791 | I have given you, Sambo, a large liberty of Prating, and you have used it very confidently: How come you so wonderous Wise? |
A63791 | If not, by what Authority, or by what Dispensation against his divine Law do you practise these things? |
A63791 | If we should leave off these Practices, how should we live at the Rate we do? |
A63791 | If you approve of these Christian Doctrines, why do not you square your Conversations accordingly? |
A63791 | If you think them needless Notions, why do not you disown them? |
A63791 | Is Hypocrisie a Virtue? |
A63791 | Is Iett or Ebony despised for its Colour? |
A63791 | Is another very hot? |
A63791 | Is it because we are not of your Religion and Belief? |
A63791 | Is not this rare Christian Equity, to beat us unmercifully for that which they themselves do but Laugh at, and make a Jest of? |
A63791 | Nay, rather is not the chiefest Crime in them, since they are the Tempters and Occasioners of it? |
A63791 | Nay, to the further shame of Christians, have you not by lewd Examples defiled and debauched us Ethiopeans, and the Indians amongst whom you converse? |
A63791 | Now let all the World judge, if men will thus seek Death in the Errors of their Lives, how is the Country to be complained of? |
A63791 | Or Tyranny beget Love? |
A63791 | Or did thy eternal Son, the Saviour of the World, preach any such Doctrine, or set any such Example in his meek and holy Pilgrimage on Earth? |
A63791 | Or else how we should do to work in the Dark? |
A63791 | Or from some different Fabrick of your Bodies? |
A63791 | Or from your extraordinary Endowments of Mind? |
A63791 | Or indeed why should we mind any thing such Heathens as you can say or talk of? |
A63791 | Or is your Religion one thing in profession, and another in practise? |
A63791 | Or to whom shall we address our mournful Appeals? |
A63791 | Or why do you so much cry up and magnifie them? |
A63791 | Or why will you abhor and despise a Religion which you profess? |

A63791 | Or would you be willing to be thus treated and dealt with, if you were in our condition? |
A63791 | Ought you not then to love us as your Brethren, descended from the same common Father? |

A63791 | Why will you profess a Religion you abhor? |
A63791 | Why? |
A63791 | Why? |
A63791 | Will you make us believe, that those men have any Religion, who have no God? |
