The Negro Christianized An essay to excite and assist the good work, the instruction…

Howbeit, if they have arrived unto ⟨p. 28⟩such a measure of Christianity, that none can forbid Water for the Baptising of them, it is fit, that they should enjoy those comfortable circumstances with us, which are due to them, not only as the Children of Adam, but also as our Brethren, on the same level with us in the expectations of a blessed Immortality, through' the Second Adam. Whatever Slaughter the Assertion may make among the pretensions which are made unto Christianity, yet while the sixteenth Chapter of Matthew is in the Bible, it must be asserted; the Christian, who cannot so far Deny himself, can be no Disciple of the Lord JESUS CHRIST. But, O Christian, thy Slave will not Serve thee one jot the worse for that Self-denial.

The way is now cleared, for the work that is proposed: that excellent WORK, The Instruction of the Negroes in the Christian Religion.

A CATECHISM shall be got ready for them; first a Shorter, then a Larger; Suited at to their poor Capacities.
