For I have the gratification
to know that if I shall fall by the utterance of the truth
in this matter, that if I shall be
hurled back into bondage to gratify my slaveholder, to be killed by inches, that every drop of blood
I shall shed, every groan which I shall utter, every pain which
shall rack my frame, every sob which I shall indulge, shall be the instrument
under God of tearing down
the bloody pillar of slavery and of hastening the day
of deliverance for three millions
of my brethren in bondage
to know that if I shall fall by the utterance of the truth
in this matter, that if I shall be
hurled back into bondage to gratify my slaveholder, to be killed by inches, that every drop of blood
I shall shed, every groan which I shall utter, every pain which
shall rack my frame, every sob which I shall indulge, shall be the instrument
under God of tearing down
the bloody pillar of slavery and of hastening the day
of deliverance for three millions
of my brethren in bondage
