YES, my lord, I do very well.
ON this confession of the fact, the following dialogue took place.
I. THEN let us hear what you have to say for yourself.
M. MY lord, there came a ship bound for Leghorn, with a passenger who came to my house: he spoke very good Spanish, and I believe, by his looks, was a Jew. He stayed with his captain about two hours at my house; I never saw him before or since. He might be a christian for what I know, but being bound for Leghorn, and speaking Spanish, I though he was a Jew: that is all I know of the man. God knows what religion he was of.
