I. POOR man, you have been brought up in heresy and ignorance from your youthful days. I am sorry for you, you will find yourself mistaken when it is too late. You have time to consider of it, and I would advise you to do it for your own good. Can you think of any thing else that you have done that they have sent you here for?
M. NO, my lord, I have had some few words with people, but I believe that has not any connection with this affair.
I. WHAT words had you with the Spaniards at Malaga.
M. MY lord, at first several desired me to speak the language for them, to help them to sell their goods to ships that came to load there; and I did, but there came so many, that I could not do business for myself, so that I desired them to excuse me and take somebody else; but they still importuned me so, that I was obliged to tell them that I would trouble myself no more about their business, and that I had business enough of my own to mind; at which they would sometimes fall into a passion, and generally reflect upon my religion, which I could not always digest.
