And on their hearts impress her hallowed seal. Fathers in God ! Chief pastors of his fold, Who feed his flock, his discipline uphold, Proclaim his word, profess a godly life, Eschewing wrath, ambition, worldly strife, 38 A PRO-SLAVERY BISHOP. Grave, patient, sober, faithful, linn, and kind, Plxperienced, wise, enlightened, and refined. Say should applause, or bonds, or hope of pelf, The face of tyrants or the love of self, One jot or tittle of your rights abate, The sacred rights of your exalte...d state, As overseers to feed the flock of Christ, Each as his envoy, almoner, and priest, — To teach that all in him are born free, Their chart his life, his word their panoply. What is the freedom granted negro slaves ? What but the license which the heart depraves, And not the franchise which from ruin saves. Is there a church for black men as for white? Is it in negroes wrong to read and write ? Or must we have the warrant of a skin, To save us from the punishment and sin Of reading that which you, on oath, declare Contains all truth essential to prepare Those souls, through faith, to save themselves alive, Who keep its laws, its oracles believe ?* VIII.
