To
come
,
then
,
by
the
just
degrees
to
the
particulars
of
this
part
of
my
story
.
You
may
suppose
,
that
having
now
lived
almost
four
years
in
the
Brazils
,
and
beginning
to
thrive
and
prosper
very
well
upon
my
plantation
,
I
had
not
only
learned
the
language
,
but
had
contracted
acquaintance
and
friendship
among
my
fellow-planters
,
as
well
as
among
the
merchants
at
St.
Salvador
,
which
was
our
port
,
and
that
in
my
discourses
among
them
I
had
frequently
given
them
an
account
of
my
two
voyages
to
the
coast
of
Guinea
,
the
manner
of
trading
with
the
negroes
there
,
and
how
easy
it
was
to
purchase
upon
the
coast
for
trifles
--
such
as
beads
,
toys
,
knives
,
scissors
,
hatchets
,
bits
of
glass
,
and
the
like
--
not
only
gold-dust
,
Guinea
grains
,
elephants
'
teeth
,
etc.
but
negroes
,
for
the
service
of
the
Brazils
in
great
numbers
.
122
They
listened
always
very
attentively
to
my
discourses
on
these
heads
,
but
especially
to
that
part
which
related
to
the
buying
negroes
;
which
was
a
trade
,
at
that
time
,
not
only
not
far
entered
into
,
but
,
as
far
as
it
was
,
had
been
carried
on
by
the
assiento
,
or
permission
,
of
the
Kings
of
Spain
and
Portugal
,
and
engrossed
in
the
public
,
so
that
few
negroes
were
brought
,
and
those
excessive
dear
.
123
It
happened
,
being
in
company
with
some
merchants
and
planters
of
my
acquaintance
,
and
talking
of
those
things
very
earnestly
,
three
of
them
came
to
ne
the
next
morning
,
and
told
me
they
had
been
musing
very
much
upon
what
I
had
discoursed
with
them
of
,
the
last
night
,
and
they
came
to
make
a
secret
proposal
to
me
.
And
after
enjoining
me
secrecy
,
they
told
me
that
they
had
a
mind
to
fit
out
a
ship
to
go
to
Guinea
;
that
they
had
all
plantations
as
well
as
I
,
and
were
straitened
for
nothing
so
much
as
servants
;

that
as
it
was
a
trade
that
could
not
be
carried
on
because
they
could
not
publicly
sell
the
negroes
when
they
came
home
,
so
they
desired
to
make
but
one
voyage
,
to
bring
the
negroes
on
shore
privately
,
and
divide
them
among
their
own
plantations
;
and
,
in
a
word
,
the
question
was
,
whether
I
would
go
their
supercargo
in
the
ship
,
to
manage
the
trading
part
upon
the
coast
of
Guinea
;
and
they
offered
me
that
I
should
have
my
equal
share
of
the
negroes
without
providing
any
part
of
the
stock
.
125
This
was
a
fair
proposal
,
it
must
be
confessed
,
had
it
been
made
to
any
one
that
had
not
a
settlement
and
plantation
of
his
own
to
look
after
,
which
was
in
a
fair
way
of
coming
to
be
very
considerable
,
and
with
a
good
stock
upon
it
.
But
for
me
,
that
was
thus
entered
and
established
,
and
had
nothing
to
do
but
go
on
as
I
had
begun
,
for
three
or
four
years
more
,
and
to
have
sent
for
the
other
hundred
pounds
from
England
;
and
who
,
in
that
time
,
and
with
that
little
addition
,
could
scarce
have
failed
of
being
worth
three
or
four
thousand
pounds
sterling
,
and
that
increasing
too
--
for
me
to
think
of
such
a
voyage
,
was
the
most
preposterous
thing
that
ever
man
,
in
such
circumstances
,
could
be
guilty
of
.
126
But
I
,
that
was
born
to
be
my
own
destroyer
,
could
no
more
resist
the
offer
than
I
could
restrain
my
first
rambling
designs
,
when
my
father
's
good
counsel
was
lost
upon
me
.
In
a
word
,
I
told
them
I
would
go
with
all
my
heart
,
if
they
would
undertake
to
look
after
my
plantation
in
my
absence
,
and
would
dispose
of
it
to
such
as
I
should
direct
if
I
miscarried
.
This
they
all
engaged
to
do
,
and
entered
into
writings
or
covenants
to
do
so
;
and
I
made
a
formal
will
disposing
of
my
plantation
and
effect
,
in
case
of
my
death
;
making
the
captain
of
the
ship
that
had
saved
my
life
,
as
before
,
my
universal
heir
,
but
obliging
him
to
dispose
of
my
effects
as
I
had
directed
in
my
will
;
one-half
of
the
produce
being
to
himself
,
and
the
other
to
be
shipped
to
England
.
127
In
short
,
I
took
all
possible
caution
to
preserve
my
effects
and
keep
up
my
plantation
.
Had
I
used
half
as
much
prudence
to
have
looked
into
my
own
interest
,
and
have
made
a
judgment
of
what
I
ought
to
have
done
and
not
to
have
done
,
I
had
certainly
never
gone
away
from
so
prosperous
an
undertaking
,
leaving
all
the
probably
views
of
a
thriving
circumstance
,
and
gone
upon
a
voyage
to
sea
,
attended
with
all
its
common
hazards
,
to
say
nothing
of
the
reasons
I
had
to
expect
particular
misfortunes
to
myself
.

But
I
was
hurried
on
,
and
obeyed
blindly
the
dictates
of
my
fancy
rather
than
my
reason
.
And
accordingly
,
the
ship
being
fitted
out
,
and
the
cargo
furnished
,
and
all
things
done
as
by
agreement
by
my
partners
in
the
voyage
,
I
went
on
board
in
an
evil
hour
,
the
(
(
first
)
)
of
(
(
September
,
1659
)
)
,
being
the
same
day
eight
year
that
I
went
from
my
father
and
mother
at
Hull
,
in
order
to
act
the
rebel
to
their
authority
,
and
the
fool
to
my
own
interest
.
129
Our
ship
was
about
120
tons
burthen
,
carried
six
guns
and
fourteen
men
,
besides
the
master
,
his
boy
,
and
myself
.
We
had
on
board
no
large
cargo
of
goods
,
except
of
such
toys
as
were
fit
for
our
trade
with
the
negroes
--
such
as
beads
,
bits
of
glass
,
shells
,
and
odd
trifles
,
especially
little
looking-glasses
,
knives
,
scissors
,
hatchets
,
and
the
like
.
130
The
same
day
I
went
on
board
we
set
sail
,
standing
away
to
the
northward
upon
our
own
coast
,
with
design
to
stretch
over
for
the
African
coast
,
when
they
came
about
10
or
12
degrees
of
northern
latitude
,
which
,
it
seems
,
was
the
manner
of
their
course
in
those
days
.
