Nay, said Cudjoe; the WhiteMen that carried away your Brothers are bad Men, kill them when youcan catch them; but this White Man is a good Man, and you must not kill him.—But he is a White Man, they cried; the White Men are all bad; we will kill them all.—Nay, says he, you must not kill aMan, that has done no Harm, only for being white. This Man is myFriend, my House is his Fort, and I am his Soldier. I must fight for him. You must kill me, before you can kill him.—What good Man will ever come again under my Roof, if I let my Floor be stained with a good man’s Blood! —The Negroes seeing his Resolution, and being convinced by his Discourse that they were wrong, went away ashamed. In a few Days Murray ventured abroad again with Cudjoe, when several of them took him by the Hand, and told him they were glad they had not killed him; for as he was a good (meaning an innocent) Man, their God would have been angry,and would have spoiled their Fishing.—I relate this, says Captain Seagrave, to show that some among these dark People have a strong Sense of Justice and Honour, and that even the most brutal among them are capable of feeling the Force of Reason and of being influenced by a Fear of God (if the Knowledge of the true God could be introduced among them) since even the Fear of a false God, when their Rage subsided, was not without its good Effect.
