The correct option for above statement is:

"There is no proportion between Twenty Pieces of Silver, and LIBERTY."

Step-by-step explanation:

The first anti-slavery tract printed in English North America. In it, Sewall takes reasoning from legal, moral, practical, and biblical grounds corresponding the taking, buying, and owning of slaves, especially Africans. The Selling of Joseph was distributed through a time when Sewall, a Massachusetts judge, was battling his proslavery rival, John Saffin, over a slave named Adam, who was seeking his independence. In 1701 Safin distributed a reply to Sewall's document, labeled A True and Particular Narrative by Way of Vindication of the Author's Selling with and Prosecution of his Negro Man Servant.
