           what
           Market
           he
           made
           I
           know
           not
           ,
           but
           if
           he
           gave
           above
           pence
           a-piece
           ,
           his
           Market
           was
           bad
           ,
           in
           respect
           the

           ;
           by
           these
           people
           we
           came
           to
           the
           knowledge
           of
           the
           agreement
           and
           peace
           concluded

             Dutch
          
           and
           us
           ,
           for
           we
           found
           Letters
           to
           that
           effect
           ,
           the
           news
           of
           which
           made
           our
           Captain
           forthwith
           send

             Dutchmen
          
           which
           he
           had
           bought

           to
           
             Pullaway
             ;
          
           we
           also
           proffered
           them
           the
           Vessell
           which
           our
           Captain
           had
           bought
           of
           the
           
             Bandaneeses
             ,
          
           but
           their
           modesty
           was
           such
           ,
           that
           they
           (
           to
           our
           admiration
           )
           refused
           to
           accept
           of
           that
           which
           our
           purses
           paid
           for
           ,
           so
           desired
           us
           to
           keep
           it
           and
           convert
           it
           to
           our
           own
           use

           for
           by
           their
           Letters
           they
           were
           fully
           informed
           what
           strength
           both
           we
           and
           
           themselves
           had
           comming
           ,
           which
           made
           them

           or

           Now
           within
           a
           Month
           after
           our
           hearts
           were
           very
           much
           exhillerated
           by
           the
           approach
           of
           an
           
             English
          
           Ship

           called

             Lyons
             Claw
             ,
          
           the
           presence
           of
           this
           Vessel
           banished
           our
           former
           Melancholly
           ,
           and
           we
           that
           before
           were
           almost
           contristed
           to
           death
           ,
           were
           now
           elevated
           into
           extremity
           of
           joy
           .
        
         
           But
           the
           old
           Principle
           holds
           true

           neither

           related

           The
           Ship
           which
           I
           formerly
           made
           mention
           of
           being
           arrived
           with
           commodities
           ,
           caused
           our
           Captain
           to
           ruminate
           about
           the
           settlement
           of
           his
           Factory
           in
           the
           Island
           of
           
             Lantore
             ,
          
           upon
           which
           it
           was
           demanded
           who
           would
           ,
           or
           dared
           to
           venter
           the
           undertaking
           of
           the
           Factory
           in
           
             Lantore

           and
           to
           speak
           according
           to
           truth
           ,
           indeed
           many
           were
           unfitting
           ,
           and
           many
           were
           unwilling
           to
           go
           ,
           because
           they
           fear'd
           an
           alteration
           ,
           our
           Captain
           being
           in
           this
           dilemma
           ,
           in
           respect
           of
           the
           unwillingnesse
           and
           disability
           of
           most
           of
           the
           Company
           to

           to
           the
           Factory

           I
           with
           two
           more
           freely
           proffered
           our selves
           ,
           and
           was
           as
           willingly
           and
           freely
           accepted
           ,
           and
           
           loaded
           with
           the
           retribution
           of
           many
           thanks
           from
           our
           new
           Captain
           ,
           but
           our
           after
           experience
           instructed
           us
           to
           believe
           that
           they
           were
           the
           wisest
           that
           staid
           upon
           
             Nalacca
          
           Island
           til
           the
           last
           ,
           for
           although
           our
           thoughts
           were
           sowne
           with
           the
           seeds
           of
           profit
           ,
           and
           expected
           to
           have
           reapt
           the
           double
           benefit
           in
           our
           Estates
           ,
           we
           received
           more
           then
           trebble
           losses
           by
           the
           perfidious
           
             Hollander
             ,
          
           besides
           the
           great
           danger
           and
           hourly
           hazzard
           of
           our
           lives

           and
           the
           extream
           punishment
           we
           received
           in
           our
           bodies

           as
           often
           as
           I
           think
           of
           their
           unparralelled
           and
           almost
           unimitable
           severity
           I
           cannot
           but
           admire
           ,
           and
           praise
           with
           admiration
           ,
           that
           great
           God
           which
           strengthned
           and
           so
           much
           enabled
           me
           to
           undergo
           those
           heavie
           pressures
           which
           were
           loaded

           me
           by
           those
           Patrons
           of
           cruelty
           ;
           God
           forgive
           them
           ,
           and

           it

           sometimes
           they

           fairly
           perswade

           they
           made
           mention

           the

           with
           an
           advised

           told

           summoned

           his

           he
           commanded
           the
           Cook
           to
           provide
           breakfast
           ,
           which
           accordingly
           was
           done
           ,
           but
           it
           was
           the
           last
           breakfast
           that
           ever

           a
           sudden
           there
           arrived
           at
           our

           of
           out-cryes
           ,
           that
           made
           us
           wish
           we
           had
           eat
           our
           breakfast
           without
           it
           ,
           for
           the
           
             Bandaneeses

           had
           the
           charge
           of
           the
           lower
           Town
           ,
           saluted
           us
           with
           an
           unexpected
           Alarum
           ,
           that
           the
           
             Hollanders
          
           was
           landed
           ,
           and
           were
           upon
           their
           march
           towards
           the
           Town
           ,
           having
           landed
           on
           the
           West
           side
           of
           the
           
             Lantore
          
           Island
           nearest
           to
           a
           place
           called
           
             Louquee
          
           their
           pollicy
           thought
           it
           most
           expedient
           to
           land
           their
           st●…rnmost
           Boat
           first
           ,
           and
           so
           by
           dedegrees
           landed
           all
           their
           men
           without
           any
           loss
           of
           blood
           or
           men
           on
           the
           
             Hollanders
          
           side
           :
           Thus
           being
           landed
           ,
           we
           presently
           and
           sadly
           heard
           the
           beating
           of
           Drummes
           ;
           and
           looking
           toward
           the
           upper
           Town
           ,
           we
           discerned
           the
           
             Hollanders
          
           Colours
           ;
           which
           caus'd
           our
           Colours
           (
           in
           respect
           of
           the
           suddenness
           of
           the
           business
           )
           to
           retreat
           to
           our
           hearts
           ,
           and
           there
           lie
           buried
           till
           our
           Enemies
           pull'd
           them
           out
           ,
           
             Vi
             ,
             &
             Armis
             ;
          
           but
           being
           now
           surrounded
           ,
           and
           expecting
           every
           hour
           to
           groan
           out
           our
           souls
           ,
           we
           thought
           it
           more
           convenient
           to
           dye
           at
           our
           doors
           ,
           thinking
           
           that
           our
           language
           might
           something
           mitigate
           the
           fury
           of
           our
           new
           come
           unwelcome
           Enemies
           ;
           but
           the
           
             Hollanders
          
           placed
           in
           their
           front
           ,
           a
           Nation
           called
           the
           
             Iapaneeses
             ,
          
           a
           people
           of
           
             Iapan
             ,
          
           but
           they
           entred
           not
           into
           our
           Factory
           but
           beset
           the
           houses
           round
           ;
           these
           were
           all
           Gun-men
           ,
           having
           small
           Guns
           much
           like
           our
           Cullivers
           ,
           with
           brass
           barrels
           ,
           so
           these
           Souldiers
           called
           out
           ,
           and
           required
           us
           to
           come
           out
           of
           our
           houses
           ;
           or
           they
           would
           shoot
           us
           ,
           where
           they
           found
           us
           ;
           Then
           we
           three
           
             Englishmen
          
           came
           to
           the
           door
           ;
           and
           having
           presented
           our selves
           before
           them
           ,
           they
           presently
           stood
           presented
           against
           us
           ,
           ready
           to
           give
           fire
           ;
           So
           the
           Fronteers
           called
           out
           unto
           us
           ,
           and
           told
           us
           that
           we
           must
           be
           their
           prisoners
           ,
           to
           which
           purpose
           they
           took
           us
           into
           custody
           ,
           strictly
           examining
           of
           us
           whether
           there
           was
           no
           more
           of
           us
           ,
           the
           tuth
           is
           (
           I
           thought
           they
           had
           too
           many
           of
           us
           already
           )
           but
           in
           conclusion
           we
           told
           them
           that
           we
           had
           one
           
             Armenian
          
           more
           ;
           so
           whilst
           they
           were
           roguishly
           busie
           in
           binding
           of
           us
           ,
           some
           of
           their
           associates
           dragged
           out
           the
           poor
           old
           
             Armenia
          
           man
           ,
           whom
           I
           thought
           would
           have
           died
           for
           fear
           of
           dying
           ,
           his
           age
           being
           not
           able
           to
           encounter
           with
           such
           youthfull

           my

           leapt
           upon

           for
           indeed
           we
           expected

           being
           tyed
           hands

           on
           a
           sudden
           the
           Heavens
           frowning
           at
           these
           impieties
           ,
           sent
           down
           such
           a
           shower
           of
           rain
           for
           one
           hour
           and
           a
           half
           ,
           that
           the
           like
           was
           never
           before
           known
           by
           any
           there

           the
           Rain
           surceasing

           three
           standing
           all
           the

           in
           the
           Rain
           ,
           desired
           that
           we
           might
           be
           once
           more
           loosned
           ,
           for
           the
           rain
           had
           so
           much
           shrunck
           up
           our
           cords
           ,
           that
           they
           pinched
           us
           even
           unto
           death
           ;
           not
           long
           after
           we
           were
           loosned

           but
           had
           I
           not
           seen
           my
           hands
           (
           which
           was
           as
           much
           as
           I
           could
           well
           do

           I
           had
           absolutely
           thought
           my
           hands
           had
           taken
           distaste
           at
           my
           body
           ,
           and
           so
           left
           me
           ;
           had
           our
           miseries
           ended
           here
           ,
           we
           had
           been
           very
           happy
           ,
           in
           respect
           of
           what
           followed
           after
           ;
           but
           see
           the
           frailty
           of
           man
           ,
           that
           had
           rather
           suffer
           a
           thousand
           torments
           ,
           then
           dye
           once
           ;
           I
           remember
           it
           is
           reported
           of
           a
           great
           Tyrant
           ,
           when
           any
           was
           to
           dye
           ,
           he
           would
           have
           as
           many
           torments
           inflicted
           upon
           him
           ,
           as
           could
           be
           imagined
           ,
           and
           being
           askt
           the
           reason
           he
           replyed
           ,
           
             Ut

           know

           So
           our
           
             Dutch
          
           tormentors
           could
           not
           be
           contented
           to
           afford
           us
           great

           for
           suddenly
           
           after
           they
           placed
           the
           old
           
             Armenian
          
           with

           slippery
           hill
           ,
           where
           we
           expected
           to
           receive
           our
           last
           punishment
           ,
           for
           we
           were
           much
           afraid
           that
           the
           half
           Pike
           men
           would
           have
           forced
           us
           down
           the
           back
           side
           of
           it
           into
           the
           Ocean
           ,
           but
           within
           half
           an
           hour
           there
           came
           an
           Order
           that
           we
           should
           be
           tyed
           one
           upon
           the
           back
           of
           another
           ,
           and
           so
           carry
           one
           another
           down
           the
           better
           side
           of
           the
           hill
           ;
           being
           thus
           compelled
           to
           obey
           this
           cruell
           command
           ,
           I
           took
           Mr.
           
             Randolph
          
           and
           carried
           him
           ,

             Gates
          
           took
           the
           old
           
             Armenian
             ,
          
           and
           with
           great
           difficulty
           and
           paines
           we
           got
           down
           without
           tumbling
           ,
           hoping
           when
           we
           came
           at
           the
           bottome
           to
           have
           been
           eased
           of
           our
           burthens
           ,
           but
           we
           found
           no
           such
           clemency
           from
           them
           ,
           for
           instead
           of
           abstracting
           ,
           they
           largely
           added
           to
           our
           former
           miseries
           ,
           buffiting
           us
           with
           our
           burthens
           fast
           tyed
           to
           our
           backs
           ;
           and
           if
           we
           asked
           whether
           it
           were
           the
           fashion
           to
           use
           us
           prisoners
           in
           that
           nature
           ,
           they
           would
           largely
           answer
           us
           in
           the
           dumb
           language
           of
           their
           unsanctified
           fi●…ts
           ,
           inforcing
           us
           to
           go
           with
           our
           loads
           upon
           our
           backs
           to
           shew
           them
           the
           way
           out
           of
           the
           Town
           ,
           we
           not
           daring
           to
           make
           the
           least
           resistance
           ,
           but
           with
           seeming
           content
           attended
           their
           pleasure
           ,
           and
           shewed
           them
           the
           place
           where
           we
           used
           formerly
           to
           ease
           our selves
           (
           but
           could
           not
           at
           the
           present
           of

           were
           compelled
           (
           I
           cannot
           say
           to
           crawle
           over

           by
           the

           not
           but
           ingenuously
           confess
           ,
           their
           dissabillity
           to
           compensate
           
           our
           deserts
           ,
           but
           their
           Ingratitude
           has
           been
           our
           reward

             quia
             ingratos
             dixi
             ;
          
           but
           I
           will
           here
           desist
           from
           progressing
           any
           further
           into
           their

           to
           my
           former
           subject
           .
        
         
           Being
           (
           as
           I
           have
           formerly
           told
           you
           )
           thus
           carbonadoed
           in
           our
           bodies
           ,
           and
           sadly
           perplexed
           in
           our
           minds
           ,
           we
           began
           to
           ruminate
           what
           course
           we
           might
           best
           take
           to
           procure
           some
           ease
           to
           our
           distressed
           and
           distempered
           selves
           ;
           And
           after
           a
           short
           pause
           ,
           we
           thought
           it
           convenient
           to
           perswade
           our
           enemies
           to
           furnish
           us
           with
           pen
           ,
           inke
           and
           paper
           ,
           that
           in
           a
           Petitionall
           way
           we
           might
           expresse
           our
           mindes
           to
           the
           chief
           in
           the
           ship
           ,
           called
           
             Holland
             ;
          
           the
           effect
           whereof
           was
           ,
           That
           (
           in
           respect
           of
           our
           daily
           vexations
           and
           troubles
           ,
           our
           bodies
           were
           very
           much
           impaired
           ,
           and
           our
           hearts
           dejected
           )
           we
           desired
           so
           much
           favour
           from
           the
           chief
           of
           them
           ,
           as
           to
           be
           a
           little
           free'd
           from
           our
           chains
           ,
           and
           obtaine
           so
           great
           a
           priviledge
           ,
           as
           to
           walk
           or
           sit
           between

           that
           so
           our
           bodies
           and
           mindes
           might
           finde
           the
           comfort
           of
           a
           short
           relaxation
           ;
           After
           some
           consideration
           ,
           our
           hearts
           were
           exhillerated
           with
           the
           newes
           of
           our
           release
           ,
           we
           (
           being
           forthwith
           taken
           from
           our
           Irksome
           Chains
           )
           began
           to
           conceit
           our selves
           into
           a
           strange
           kind
           of

           ,
           as
           it
           was
           soon
           obtained

           so
           it
           as
           soon
           expired
           ,
           for
           
           we
           were
           forthwith
           (
           through
           their
           goodnesse

           long
           at
           the
           least
           ,
           insomuch
           that
           we
           were
           forced
           to
           be
           idle
           because
           we
           could
           not
           stirr
           ,
           but
           onely
           sit
           upon
           the
           Deck

           and
           God
           knowes
           ,
           wee
           had
           enough
           of
           that
           before
           ,
           if
           their
           pleasures
           would
           have

           leave

           it
           ;
           but
           they
           that
           felt
           no
           misery
           themselves

           knew
           not
           how
           to
           commiserate
           ours
           ,
           yet
           the
           extent
           of

           favours
           was

           that
           every
           other
           day
           we
           were
           severally
           brought
           out
           of
           our
           bolts
           ,
           but
           not
           for
           our
           ease
           ,
           but
           for
           their
           pleasures

           for
           we
           were

           one
           of

           certain
           Interrogatories
           ,
           insomuch
           that
           if
           they
           had
           found
           us
           in
           severall
           tales

             England
          
           had
           never
           heard
           this
           sad
           truth
           from
           my
           mouth
           :
           but
           our
           constant
           sitting
           and
           lying
           grew
           so
           tedious
           to
           us
           ,
           that
           we
           thought
           it
           convenient
           to
           Petition
           them
           againe
           for
           ease
           ,
           yet
           we
           were
           something
           doubtfull
           in
           respect
           of
           our
           former
           Success
           ,
           but
           the
           violence
           of
           our
           Sufferings
           strengthened
           our
           intentions
           ,
           and
           we
           resolved
           to
           Petition
           ,
           that
           we
           might
           finde
           so
           much
           favour
           from
           their
           hands
           ,
           as
           to
           be
           reinchained
           ,
           and
           permitted
           to
           walke
           above
           ,
           or
           below
           the
           Decks
           ,
           as
           our
           Chains
           should
           permitt
           ,
           and
           our
           occasions
           require
           ;
           our
           Petition
           being
           granted
           ,
           we
           were
           acquitted
           of
           our
           troublesom

           but
           new
           Torments
           (
           like
           the
           
             Hydra's
          
           heads
           )
           presently
           succeeded
           the
           old
           ;
           wee
           were
           no
           sooner
           out
           of
           our
           Bolts
           ,
           but
           we
           were
           presently
           exalted
           ,
           and
           carryed
           up
           ,
           and
           set
           in
           the
           heat
           and
           colde
           as
           formerly
           ;
           neither
           was
           that
           all
           ,
           for
           our
           leggs
           were
           forthwith
           salluted
           with
           a
           Bolt
           of

           a

           long
           ,
           with
           both
           our
           knees
           wrung
           together
           so
           hard

           that
           our

           and
           Gunns
           ,
           I
           thought
           at
           first
           to
           kill
           me
           ,
           but
           it
           fell
           out
           otherwise
           (
           I
           thank
           God
           )
           for

           sufficiently
           beat
           me
           ,
           and
           dived
           into
           my
           well-furnished
           pockets
           ,
           and

           I
           hope
           the
           Reader
           will
           imagine
           )
           took
           away
           my
           money
           ,
           for
           truly
           ,
           I
           thought
           it
           a
           piece
           of
           vanity
           to
           put
           my
           hand

           theirs
           came
           out

           neither
           had
           I
           heart
           to
           do
           it
           ,
           in
           respect
           I
           was
           confident
           to
           finde
           a
           strange
           vacuety
           there
           ;
           neither

           but
           they
           must
           also
           endeavor
           to
           beat
           me
           out
           of
           my

           me
           into

           to
           my
           great
           grief

           forthwith

           where
           I
           found
           entertainment
           answerable
           to
           my
           expectation

           immediately

           they
           sent
           me
           sadly
           to
           the
           Stocks

           and
           having
           thought
           my self

           a
           world
           of
           misery

           I
           began

           at

           no
           way

           defategated
           my
           spirits
           with
           tedious
           and
           troublesome
           Meditations

           I
           endeavoured
           to
           rouze
           up
           my
           drooping
           heart

           informing
           my self

           repined

           the
           greater
           addition
           I
           gave
           to
           my
           sorrow
           ,
           and
           that
           I
           must
           labour
           to
           crown
           my
           sufferings
           with

           took
           a

           suddenly
           I
           discry'd
           a
           parcel
           of

           the

           made
           me
           suspitious

           breath
           my

           the
           event
           proved
           the
           contrary
           ,
           for
           upon

           approach

           observed

           I
           confess
           I
           was
           miserably
           joyfull
           to

           but
           grieved
           to
           think
           of
           his
           being
           in
           the
           hands
           of
           such
           Butchers

           indeed
           they
           were
           so
           civill
           to
           me

           deserved
           it
           ,
           because
           I
           was

           Thus
           we
           two
           late
           lovingly
           in
           the
           
           Stocks
           together

           bewailing
           our
           ●…ad
           misfortunes
           ,
           but
           my
           stomack
           began
           to
           importune
           me
           for
           meat
           ,
           having
           been
           in
           the
           Stocks
           all
           night

           I
           may
           very
           well
           be
           excused
           for
           being
           both
           hungry
           and
           thirsty
           ;
           but
           it
           is
           far
           easier
           for
           a
           man
           to
           complain
           ,
           then
           to
           be
           relieved
           ;
           therefore
           I
           gave
           my
           appetite
           an
           unwelcome
           check
           ,
           and
           feasted
           my self
           with
           content
           ,
           which
           is
           but
           a
           meane
           satisfaction
           to
           a
           raging
           stomack

           themselves
           towards
           us
           ,
           but
           our
           fear
           instructed
           us
           to
           believe
           it
           was
           rather
           to
           abuse
           us
           ,
           then

           a
           breakfast

           they
           merrily
           made
           enquiry
           after
           our
           healths
           ,
           and
           we
           as
           sadly
           told
           them
           ,
           that
           we
           were
           onely
           weary
           with
           our
           tedious
           sitting

           and
           at
           that
           time
           our
           stomacks
           were
           more
           agile

           of

           or
           malice

           they
           were
           pleased
           to

           but
           were
           very
           carefull
           that

           the
           clock
           we
           were
           informed
           of
           the
           approach
           of
           our
           friends
           ,
           but
           they
           entring
           ,
           our
           stomacks
           for
           the
           present
           would
           not
           permit
           our
           tongues
           to
           express
           our
           thanks
           equable
           to
           their
           deserts
           ;
           but
           after
           we
           had
           indifferently
           quallified
           and
           allayed
           the
           vigour
           of
           our
           memorable
           appetites
           ,
           we
           began
           to
           unbosome
           our selves
           to
           them
           ,
           expressing
           our
           gratefull
           acceptance
           of
           so
           welcome
           ,
           (
           though
           so
           long
           absent
           )
           a
           favour
           ;
           whilst
           we
           were
           thus
           humouring
           of
           our
           much
           implacable
           natures
           ,
           our
           friends
           seemed
           to
           be
           in
           a
           serious
           consultation
           with
           our
           Guards
           ,
           enquiring
           and
           descanting
           upon
           the
           reason
           of
           so
           much
           severity
           towards
           us
           
             Englishmen
             ;
          
           and
           why
           they
           should
           ,
           upon
           so
           slender
           an
           account
           ,
           as
           the
           buying
           of
           Cloves
           upon
           their
           Island
           ,
           use
           so
           much
           violence
           against
           those
           Captives
           they
           had
           taken
           ,
           telling
           them
           how
           disproportionable
           
           it
           was
           to
           a
           good
           conscience
           ,
           which
           actions
           (
           if
           continued
           )
           would
           make
           them
           an
           
             odium
          
           to
           all
           Nations
           ;
           these
           words
           seemed
           (
           as
           indeed
           they
           were
           )
           very
           unsavouly
           to
           their
           turbulant
           spirits
           ;
           for
           they
           had
           so
           much
           habituated
           themselves
           to
           villany
           and
           bas●…ness
           ,
           that
           custome
           had
           made
           it
           too
           inherent
           for
           a
           remoall
           ;
           I
           will
           not
           expend
           so
           much
           time
           as
           to
           make
           a
           Narrative
           of
           their
           responds
           ,
           in
           respect
           I
           intend
           to
           hasten
           to
           what
           shall
           be
           more
           materiall

           This
           day
           we
           spent
           with
           indifferent
           ease
           and
           contentment
           ,
           but
           the
           night
           approaching
           ,
           and
           our
           friends
           being
           departed
           from
           us
           ,
           we
           began
           to
           think
           of
           rest
           ,
           wondring
           where
           they
           intended
           to
           dispose
           of
           us
           that
           night
           ,
           for
           we
           thought
           that
           they
           would
           not
           trust
           us
           in
           that
           room
           without
           a
           Guard
           ;
           but
           our
           admiration
           was
           quickly
           converted
           in
           a
           compleat
           satisfaction
           ,
           for
           before
           night
           had
           absolutely
           spread
           abroad
           her
           ●…able
           Curtains
           ,
           there
           came
           a
           
             Dutch
          
           Fury
           ,
           attended
           with
           ●…our
           Musketeers
           ,
           and
           commanded
           me
           to
           take
           my
           leave
           of
           my
           fellow
           captive
           ,
           and
           so
           violently
           took
           me
           away
           from
           him
           ,
           and
           carried
           me
           to
           the
           East
           side
           of
           the
           Castle
           ,
           and
           left
           
             Matthew
             Sawell
             ,
          
           my
           former
           Companion
           ,
           on
           the
           West
           side
           ,
           and
           planted
           two
           Musketeers
           at
           each
           of
           our
           doors
           all
           the
           while
           we
           were
           in
           their
           custody
           ,
           which
           was
           about
           8.
           dayes
           ,
           all
           
           which
           time
           we
           lay
           upon
           the
           boards
           ,
           being
           not
           allowed
           by
           them
           any
           thing
           to
           sustain
           us
           ,
           no
           not
           so
           much
           as
           water
           ;
           the
           next
           day
           our
           friends
           comming
           to
           supply
           our
           wants
           ,
           wondred
           to
           see
           us
           at
           such
           a
           distance
           one
           from
           another
           ,
           demanding
           of
           us
           the
           reason
           of
           our
           separation
           ;
           but
           our
           slender
           knowledge
           could
           not
           satisfie
           their
           demands
           ,
           but
           we
           were
           forced
           with
           as
           much
           patience
           as
           we
           could
           to
           endure
           all
           their
           sad
           impulsives
           ,
           and
           I
           bless
           and
           praise
           my
           great
           Redeemer
           ,
           that
           he
           hath
           been
           thus
           graciously
           pleased
           to
           spare
           my
           life

           and
           hand
           me

           which
           I
           hope
           will
           never

           oblittered
           out

           And
           I
           hope
           God
           will
           be
           pleased

           never

           am
           ready

           justifie
           it
           with
           my
           life

           that
           I
           have
           not
           exprest
           any
           thing

           what
           is
           really
           correspondent

           much
           assured

           how
           many
           Tragicall

           upon
           many
           others

           tedious
           to

           pleased
           to

           that
           our
           8.
           dayes
           sufferings

           to
           draw
           to
           a
           conclusion
           ,
           for
           our
           Captain
           sent

           his
           prisoners

           for
           he
           intended
           next
           day
           to
           set
           Sayle

           and
           leave
           those
           parts
           ;
           the
           
             Holander
          
           upon
           our
           Captains
           command
           ,
           gave
           Order
           for
           our
           enlargement
           ,
           so
           we
           were
           brought
           down
           into
           the
           Castle-yard
           ,
           having
           nothing
           upon
           us
           but
           our
           naturall
           habits
           ,
           for
           they
           stript
           us
           before
           ;
           but
           in
           our
           march
           ,
           we
           observed
           a
           Gallery
           ,
           in
           which
           were
           placed
           the
           chief
           of
           the
           Castle
           &
           Island
           ,
           before
           whom
           we
           were
           forthwith
           called
           ;
           being
           approached
           neer
           unto
           them
           ,
           they
           willed
           us
           to
           express
           whether
           we
           were
           willing
           to
           go
           aboard
           our
           Ship
           ;
           we
           replyed
           ,
           that
           indeed
           it
           was
           our
           hearty
           desires
           ,
           if
           we
           might
           be
           permitted
           ,
           for
           it
           was
           but
           slender
           comfort
           for
           us
           to
           be
           slaves
           ,
           if
           our
           Liberties
           might
           be
           permitted
           ,
           but
           the
           poverty
           of
           our
           condition
           was
           such
           that
           we
           ●…ere

           to
           express
           to

           what
           an
           obligation
           they
           would
           lay
           upon
           us
           ,
           if
           they
           would
           prove
           but
           so
           favorable
           to
           us
           as
           to
           command
           our
           clothes
           and
           goods
           to
           be
           re-delivered
           unto
           us
           ,
           which
           we
           were
           deprived
           by
           their
           appointment
           ,
           to
           which
           they
           suddenly
           replyed
           ,
           that
           our
           prayers
           would
           be
           as
           prevalent
           and
           effectuall
           for
           them
           with

           them
           ,
           so
           wisht
           us
           to
           continue
           in
           that
           mind
           of
           praying
           ;
           for
           they
           told
           us
           ,
           that
           we

           whether
           life
           or
           death
           were

           how

           it
           possible
           for

           which
           if
           but
           observed

           are
           subject

           the
           
           truth
           is
           ,
           that
           at
           opportune
           times
           ,
           I
           alwayes
           committed

           which
           is
           the
           best
           remembrancer
           ,
           and
           although
           it
           hath
           been
           a
           long
           time
           buried
           in
           loose
           sheets
           ,
           yet
           it
           retains
           as
           much
           truth
           as
           if

           had
           been

           it
           shal
           be
           demanded
           why
           I
           had
           not
           then
           printed

           though
           bluntly
           )
           say
           ,
           the
           reason
           is
           ,
           because
           then
           was
           then
           ,
           and
           now
           is

           ;
           for

           those
           dayes
           our
           Nation
           was
           at
           peace
           with
           the
           
             Dutch
             ,
          
           and
           had
           I
           then
           printed
           it
           ,
           I
           should
           rather
           have
           incurr'd
           the
           repute
           of
           an
           Incendiary
           ,

           a
           true
           Historian

           and
           besides
           my
           urged
           occasions

           beyond
           Sea
           ,
           would
           not
           permit
           me
           to
           borrow
           so
           much
           time
           as
           to
           digest
           it
           according
           to
           my
           desires
           ;
           if
           these
           Arguments
           will
           not
           prevail
           ,
           I
           must
           submit
           to
           the
           censure
           of
           the
           World
           ,
           but
           before
           I
           proceed
           .
           I
           shall
           onely
           make
           this
           short
           Protestation
           ,
           That
           I
           have
           neither
           spoken
           ,
           or
           will
           speak
           any
           thing
           out
           of
           malice
           or
           envy
           ,
           although
           I
           must
           confess
           my
           losses
           and
           miserable
           sufferings
           might
           well
           induce
           me
           to
           thoughts
           of
           revenge
           ,
           but
           that
           I
           will
           leave
           to
           the
           great
           Revenger
           of
           all
           wrongs
           ,
           and
           proceed
           to
           my
           intentions

           Now

           we
           are
           sent

             ,
          
           whither
           I
           sailed

             Iackson

           upon
           which
           Islands
           I
           stayed
           the
           revolution
           of
           two
           whole
           years
           ,
           so
           that
           my
           long
           abode
           there
           ,
           and
           my
           daily
           observations
           both
           of
           the
           people
           and
           the
           Islands
           ,
           will
           not
           permit
           me
           to
           bury
           the
           perfect
           knowledge
           of
           them
           in
           oblivion

           neither
           dare
           I
           suffer
           my
           Memory
           to
           be
           so
           treacherous
           to
           me
           ,
           as
           not
           to
           be
           mindfull
           ,
           and
           sadly
           studious
           of
           those
           many
           and
           almost
           unutterable
           cruelties
           which
           were
           inflicted

             Bandaneeses
          
           by

           because
           their

           were
           so

           neither
