H Aving difpatcli’d my fmall Affairs at 
the C. Ferd Iflands, I meditated on 
the procefs of my Voyage. I thought it 
reqiiifite to touch once more at a cultivated 
Place in thefe Seas, where rny Men might 
be refrefh’d , and might have a Market 
wherein to furnifli themfelves with Ne- 
ceffaries : For defigning that my next 
Stretch ffiould be quite to A^. Holland, and 
knowing that after fo long a Run nothing 
was to be expefted there but frefli Water, 
if I could meet even with that there, I re- 
folved upon putting in firft at fome Port 
of Braz.ll, and to provide my Self there 
with whatever I might have further Oc- 
cafion for. Befide the refrefhing and fur- 
nifliing my Men,! aim’d alfo at the inuring 
them gradually and by intervals to the Fa- 
tigues that were to be expeSled in the re- 
mainder of the Voyage, which was to he 
in a part of the World they were altogether 
Strangers to ; none of them, except two 
young Men, having ever crolst the Line.
