My
principal
guide
and
privy
councillor
was
my
good
ancient
widow
;
who
,
in
gratitude
for
the
money
I
had
sent
her
,
thought
no
pains
too
much
,
or
care
too
great
,
to
employ
for
her
;
and
I
trusted
her
so
entirely
with
everything
that
I
was
perfectly
easy
as
to
the
security
of
my
effects
;
and
indeed
I
was
very
happy
from
my
beginning
,
and
now
to
the
end
,
in
the
unspotted
integrity
of
this
good
gentlewoman
.
And
now
I
began
to
think
of
leaving
my
effects
with
this
woman
and
setting
out
for
Lisbon
,
and
so
to
the
Brazils
.
But
now
another
scruple
came
in
my
way
,
and
that
was
religion
;
for
I
had
entertained
some
doubts
about
the
Roman
religion
even
while
I
was
abroad
,
especially
in
my
state
of
solitude
,
so
I
knew
there
was
no
going
to
the
Brazils
for
me
,
much
less
going
to
settle
there
,
unless
I
resolved
to
embrace
the
Roman
Catholic
religion
without
any
reserve
;
unless
on
the
other
hand
I
resolved
to
be
a
sacrifice
to
my
principles
,
be
a
martyr
for
religion
,
and
die
in
the
Inquisition
.
So
I
resolved
to
stay
at
home
,
and
if
I
could
find
means
for
it
,
to
dispose
of
my
plantation
.
To
this
purpose
I
wrote
to
my
old
friend
at
Lisbon
,
who
in
return
gave
me
notice
that
he
could
easily
dispose
of
it
there
;
but
that
if
I
thought
fit
to
give
him
leave
to
offer
it
in
my
name
to
the
two
merchants
,
the
survivors
of
my
trustees
,
who
lived
in
the
Brazils
,
who
most
fully
understand
the
value
of
it
,
who
lived
just
upon
the
spot
,
and
whom
I
knew
were
very
rich
,
so
that
he
believed
they
would
be
fond
of
buying
it
,
he
did
not
doubt
but
I
should
make
4,000
or
5,000
pieces
of
eight
the
more
of
it
.

Accordingly
I
agreed
,
gave
him
order
to
offer
it
to
them
,
and
he
did
so
;
and
in
about
eight
months
more
,
the
ship
being
then
returned
,
he
sent
me
an
account
that
they
had
accepted
the
offer
,
and
had
remitted
33,000
pieces
of
eight
to
a
correspondent
of
theirs
at
Lisbon
to
pay
for
it
.
In
return
,
I
signed
the
instrument
of
sale
in
the
form
which
they
sent
from
Lisbon
,
and
sent
it
to
my
old
man
,
who
sent
me
bills
of
exchange
for
32,800
pieces
of
eight
to
me
,
for
the
estate
;
reserving
the
payment
of
100
moidores
a
year
to
him
,
the
old
man
,
during
his
life
,
and
50
moidores
afterwards
to
his
son
for
this
life
,
which
I
had
promised
them
,
which
the
plantation
was
to
make
good
as
a
rent-charge
.
And
thus
I
have
given
the
first
part
of
a
life
of
fortune
and
adventure
,
a
life
of
Providence
's
checker-worker
,
and
of
a
variety
the
world
will
seldom
be
able
to
show
the
like
of
;
beginning
foolishly
,
but
closing
much
more
happily
than
any
part
of
it
ever
gave
me
leave
so
much
as
to
hope
for
.
Any
one
would
think
that
in
this
state
of
complicated
good
fortune
I
was
past
running
any
more
hazards
;
and
so
indeed
I
had
been
,
if
other
circumstances
had
concurred
.
But
I
was
inured
to
a
wandering
life
,
had
no
family
,
not
many
relations
,
nor
,
however
rich
,
had
I
contracted
much
acquaintance
;
and
though
I
had
sold
my
estate
in
the
Brazils
,
yet
I
could
not
keep
the
country
out
of
my
head
,
and
had
a
great
mind
to
be
upon
the
wing
again
;
especially
I
could
not
resist
the
strong
inclination
I
had
to
see
my
island
,
and
to
know
if
the
poor
Spaniards
were
in
being
there
,
and
how
the
rogues
I
left
there
had
used
them
.

My
true
friend
,
the
widow
,
earnestly
dissuaded
me
from
it
,
and
so
far
prevailed
with
me
,
that
for
almost
seven
years
she
prevented
my
running
abroad
,
during
which
time
I
took
my
two
nephews
,
the
children
of
one
of
my
brothers
,
into
my
care
.
The
eldest
having
something
of
his
own
,
I
bred
up
as
a
gentleman
,
and
gave
him
a
settlement
of
some
addition
to
his
estate
after
my
decease
.
The
other
I
put
out
to
a
captain
of
a
ship
,
and
after
five
years
,
finding
him
a
sensible
,
bold
,
enterprising
young
fellow
,
I
put
him
into
a
good
ship
,
and
sent
him
to
sea
;
and
this
young
fellow
afterwards
drew
me
in
,
as
old
as
I
was
,
to
farther
adventures
myself
.
In
the
meantime
,
I
in
part
settled
myself
here
;
for
,
first
of
all
,
I
married
,
and
that
not
either
to
my
disadvantage
or
dissatisfaction
,
and
had
three
children
,
two
sons
and
one
daughter
;
but
my
wife
dying
,
and
my
nephew
coming
home
with
good
success
from
a
voyage
to
Spain
,
my
inclination
to
go
abroad
,
and
his
importunity
,
prevailed
,
and
engaged
me
to
go
in
his
ship
as
a
private
trader
to
the
East
Indies
.
This
was
in
the
year
1694
.
