It is very wicked for you not to take care of your masters goods, but how much worse is it to pilfer and steal from them, whenever you think you shall not be found out.

Let all the time you can get be spent in trying to learn to read.

It is our duty to be faithful, not with eye service as men pleasers.

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?

But this will not do, God will certainly punish you for stealing and for being unfaithful.

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.

Good servants frequently make good masters.
