“Slavery, you know, is nothing else than the unwilling labor of many. Therefore to get rid of slavery it is necessary that people should not wish to profit by the forced labor of others and should consider it a sin and a shame.

“If we desire to end our days in joy and comfort, let us lay the foundation of a comfortable death now betimes. To die well is not a thing of that light moment as some imagine: it is no easy matter. But to die well is a matter of every day. Let us daily do some good that may help us at the time of our death.

To die well is the action of the whole life.” IfsWellsMayEndsMatterWholeMomentsHelpingLightActionJoyDesireDiesEasySinImagineComfortComfortableFoundationLaysWhole LifeRepentance Author:Richard Sibbes
