A friend reminds him of what the apostle says, "Let every man abide in the condition in which he is called," and he immediately uses this simile: "I wonder, Mr.Wilson, if the Indians should come, and take you a prisoner, away from your wife and children, and want to keep you all your life hoeing corn for them, if you'd think it your duty to abide in that condition in which you were called.

I rather think, that you'd think the first stray horse you could find an indication of Providence--shouldn't you ?" This does not apply to slavery.

A man born a slave, in a country where slavery is allowed by law, should feel the obligation of doing his duty while a slave; but Mr.Wilson, carried off by Indians, would feel as if he had been called to a state of life previous to the one in which he was so unfortunate to be doomed, while he was among savages.
George goes on to say--"Let any man take care that tries to stop me, for I am desperate, and I'll fight for my liberty.

You say your fathers did it: if it was right for them, it is right for me." Too fast, George! You are out in your history, too.

Your master must be a remarkably ignorant man if you know more than he.
