I would.

This occasioned my master's brother to advise him to put me off. A
short time after this I was taken by a constable and two men. They
carried me to a black-smith's shop and had me hand-cuffed. When I
returned home my mistress enquired much of her waiters, whether
VENTURE was hand-cuffed. When she was informed that I was, she
appeared to be very contented and was much transported with the news.
In the midst of all this content and joy, I presented myself before my
mistress, shewed her my hand-cuffs, and gave her thanks for my gold
rings. For this my master commanded a negro of his to fetch him a
large ox chain. This my master locked on my legs with two padlocks.
I continued to wear the chain peaceably for two or three days, when my
master asked me with contemptuous hard names whether I had not better
be freed from my chains and go to work. I answered him, No. Well
then, said he, I will send you to the West-Indies or banish you, for I
am resolved not to keep you. I answered him I crossed the waters to
come here, and I am willing to cross them to return.

For a day or two after this not any one said much to me, until one
Hempsted Miner, of Stonington, asked me if I would live with him. I
answered him that I would. He then requested me to make myself
discontented and to appear as unreconciled to my master as I could

give me a good chance to gain my freedom when I came to live with him.
I did as he requested me. Not long after Hempsted Miner purchased me
of my master for fifty-six pounds lawful. He took the chain and
padlocks off me immediately after.

It may here be remembered, that I related a few pages back, that I
hired out a sum of money to Mr. Robert Stanton, and took his note for
it. In the fray between my master Stanton and myself, he broke open
my chest containing his brother's note to me, and destroyed it.
Immediately after my present master bought me, he determined to sell
me at Hartford. As soon as I became apprized of it, I bethought
myself that I would secure a certain sum of money which lay by me,
safer than to hire it out to Stanton. Accordingly I buried it in the
earth, a little distance from Thomas Stanton's, in the road over which
he passed daily. A short time after my master carried me to Hartford,
and first proposed to sell me to one William Hooker of that place.
Hooker asked whether I would go to the Germ
