 good Excufe which I made for my Moneys 

 not cominge, (in fyne) forced the Mar- 

 chaunts to take theire Goods agayne, and 

 foe parte them amongfte them, accordinge 

 to the Quantitie I had bought of eache, and 

 made the Camelmen pay backe the Moneye 

 receaved, favinge onlye the Earnefte I gave 

 them. So this kynde Governor ridd mee of 

 a World of Trouble, which had like to have 

 killed mee, for (I protefte) I fcarce flepte 

 in 10 or \i Dayes and Nights, neither eat 

 anye thinge fcarce : Soe deeplye was this 

 Greife rooted in my Harte, this beeinge my 

 firftelmployments, and in thefe Parts, in foe 

 ftiorte a Tyme to have fuch Creditt to take 

 upp foe much Goods on my bare Worde, 

 and then to break yt, and foe confequentlye 

 my Creditt, that I was afhamed to goe oute 

 of Doores; but yt was God's Pleafure thus to 

 punifli mce for my Synnes, and foe I take yt. 

 But fure I will hereafter beware howe I trufte 

 to Letters of Advice while I live, havings 

 efcaped this Error. 



Here I continued ficke a long tyme, 

 beeinge much diftempered with the Greife for- 

 merlye receaved, which diftempatifre kepte
