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.

If a servant strives to please his master and studies and takes pains to do it, I believe there are but few masters who would use such a servant cruelly.

That liberty is a great thing we may know from our own feelings, and we may likewise judge so from the conduct of the white-people, in the late war.

If there was no Bible, it would be no matter whether you could read or not. Reading other books would do you no good.

All the time spent idly, is spent wickedly, and is unfaithfulness to our masters.

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

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