he might be removed from his Cell toa Chamber; for which purpofe, | 
there were fet forth ten fpare Chambers, befides thé number we {pake of | 
before. This done, he brought us back to the Parlor, and lifting uphis’| 
Cane a little (as they do whenthey give any charge or command) faid to"| 
us, “Ycareto know, that the Cuftom of the Land requireth, that afterthis | 
«day andtomorrow (which we give you for removing your People from 
“your Ship) you are to keep within doors for three days: But letitnot 
“trouble you, nor do not think your felves reftrained, but rather left to 
‘your Reft and Eafe. You fhall want nothing, and there are‘fix of our 
‘people appointed to attend you for any bufinefs you may have abroad: 
We gave him thanks with all affection and refpect, and faid; God furely is 
manifefted in this Land. We offered him alfo twenty Piftolets ; but he fmiled, | 
and onely faid, VVhat, twice paid? and{ohe leftus. Soon after our Dinner | 
was ferved in, which was right good Viands, both for Bread and Meat, 
better then any Collegiate Dict, that I have known in Europe. WVe had 
alfo drink of three forts, all wholefome and good ; VVine of the Grape, | 
a Drink of Grain, fuchas is with us our Ale, but more clear; anda kinde | - 
of Sider made of a Fruit of that Coutntrey, a wonderful pleafing and re- |. 
frefhing drink. Befides, there were brought into us greatftore of thofe 
Scarlet Orenges for our fick, which (they faid) were an aflured remedy 
for ficknefs taken at Sea. There was given us alfo a Box of {mall gray or 
whitifh Pills, which they wifhed our fick fhould take, one of the Pills’ 
every night before fleep, which (they faid) would haftentheir recovery. — 
The next day, after that our trouble of carriage and removing of our 
Men and Goods out of ourShip,. was foméwhat fetled and quiet, I thought 
goodto call our company together, and whenthey were aflembled, faid 
unto them, “ My dear Friends, let us know our felves, and howit ftandeth | 
“with us. WVe are Men caft on Land, as ‘fonas was out of the VVhales | 
«Belly, when we were as buried in the deep; and now we are onLand,

“and every man reform his own ways. Befides, we are come here among 
‘Sa Chriffian People, full of Piety and Humanity ; let us not bring thatcon- |
