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.
I. VERY well, Isaac, have you any thing else to say relating to your affairs?
M. MY lord, I don't know what to say.
I. WELL, go to your dungeon, and think of what you have done; for it will be a great help to your rel••sement. I will do you what service I can, but you must do what you can to serve yourself, and think upon what I have said to you.
