Abundance
of
such
things
as
these
assisted
to
argue
me
out
of
all
apprehensions
of
its
being
the
devil
;
and
I
presently
concluded
then
,
that
it
must
be
some
more
dangerous
creature
,
viz.
,
that
it
must
be
some
of
the
savages
of
the
mainland
over
against
me
,
who
had
wandered
out
to
sea
in
their
canoes
,
and
,
either
driven
by
the
currents
or
by
contrary
winds
,
had
made
the
island
,
and
had
been
on
shore
,
but
were
gone
away
again
to
sea
,
being
as
loth
,
perhaps
,
to
have
stayed
in
this
desolate
island
as
I
would
have
been
to
have
had
them
.
602
While
these
reflections
were
rolling
upon
my
mind
,
I
was
very
thankful
in
my
thoughts
that
I
was
so
happy
as
not
to
be
thereabouts
at
that
time
,
or
that
they
did
not
see
my
boat
,
by
which
they
would
have
concluded
that
some
inhabitants
had
been
in
the
place
,
and
perhaps
have
searched
farther
for
me
.
Then
terrible
thoughts
racked
my
imagination
about
their
having
found
my
boat
,
and
that
there
were
people
here
;
and
that
if
so
,
I
should
certainly
have
them
come
again
in
greater
numbers
,
and
devour
me
;
that
if
it
should
happen
so
that
they
should
not
find
me
,
yet
they
would
find
my
enclosure
,
destroy
all
my
corn
,
carry
away
all
my
flock
of
tame
goats
,
and
I
should
perish
at
last
for
mere
want
.
603
Thus
my
fear
banished
all
my
religious
hope
.
All
that
former
confidence
in
God
,
which
was
founded
upon
such
wonderful
experience
as
I
had
had
of
His
goodness
,
now
vanished
,
as
if
He
that
had
fed
me
by
miracle
hitherto
could
not
preserve
,
by
His
power
,
the
provision
which
He
had
made
for
me
by
His
goodness
.
I
reproached
myself
with
my
easiness
,
that
would
not
sow
any
more
corn
one
year
than
would
just
serve
me
till
the
next
season
,
as
if
no
accident
could
intervene
to
prevent
my
enjoying
the
crop
that
was
upon
the
ground
.
And
this
I
thought
so
just
a
reproof
that
I
resolved
for
the
future
to
have
two
or
three
years
'
corn
beforehand
,
so
that
,
whatever
might
come
,
I
might
not
perish
for
want
of
bread
.

How
strange
a
checker-work
of
Providence
is
the
life
of
man
!
and
by
what
secret
differing
springs
are
the
affections
hurried
about
as
differing
circumstances
present
!
To-day
we
love
what
to-morrow
we
hate
;
to-day
we
seek
what
to-morrow
we
shun
;
to-day
we
desire
what
tomorrow
we
fear
;
nay
,
even
tremble
at
the
apprehensions
of
.
This
was
exemplified
in
me
at
this
time
,
in
the
most
lively
manner
imaginable
;
for
I
,
whose
only
affliction
was
that
I
seemed
banished
from
Human
society
,
that
I
was
alone
,
circumscribed
by
the
boundless
ocean
,
cut
off
from
mankind
,
and
condemned
to
what
I
called
silent
life
;
that
I
was
as
one
whom
Heaven
thought
not
worthy
to
be
numbered
among
the
living
,
or
to
appear
among
the
rest
of
His
creatures
;
that
to
have
seen
one
of
my
own
species
would
have
seemed
to
me
a
raising
me
from
death
to
life
,
and
the
greatest
blessing
that
Heaven
itself
,
next
to
the
supreme
blessing
of
salvation
,
could
bestow
;
I
say
,
that
I
should
now
tremble
at
the
very
apprehensions
of
seeing
a
man
,
and
was
ready
to
sink
into
the
ground
at
but
the
shadow
or
silent
appearance
of
a
man
's
having
set
his
foot
in
the
island
!
605
Such
is
the
uneven
state
of
human
life
;
and
it
afforded
me
a
great
many
curious
speculations
afterwards
,
when
I
had
a
little
recovered
my
first
surprise
.
I
considered
that
this
was
the
station
of
life
the
infinitely
wise
and
good
providence
of
God
had
determined
for
me
;
that
,
as
I
could
not
forsee
what
the
ends
of
Divine
wisdom
might
be
in
all
this
,
so
I
was
not
to
dispute
His
sovereignty
,
who
,
as
I
was
His
creature
,
had
an
undoubted
right
,
by
creation
,
to
govern
and
dispose
of
me
absolutely
as
He
thought
fit
,
and
who
,
as
I
was
a
creature
who
had
offended
Him
,
had
likewise
a
judicial
right
to
condemn
me
to
what
punishment
He
thought
fit
;
and
that
it
was
my
part
to
submit
to
bear
His
indignation
,
because
I
had
sinned
against
Him
.
606
I
then
reflected
that
God
,
who
was
not
only
righteous
,
but
omnipotent
,
as
He
had
thought
fit
thus
to
punish
and
afflict
me
,
so
He
was
able
to
deliver
me
;
that
if
He
did
not
think
fit
to
do
it
,
It
was
my
unquestioned
duty
to
resign
myself
absolutely
and
entirely
to
His
will
;
and
,
on
the
other
hand
,
it
was
my
duty
also
to
hope
in
Him
,
pray
to
Him
,
and
quietly
to
attend
the
dictates
and
directions
of
His
daily
providence
.
607
These
thoughts
took
me
up
many
hours
,
days
,
nay
,
I
may
say
,
weeks
and
months
;
and
one
particular
effect
of
my
cogitations
of
this
occasion
I
can
not
omit
,
viz.
,
one
morning
early
,
lying
in
my
bed
,
and
filled
with
thought
about
my
danger
from
the
appearance
of
savages
,
I
found
it
discomposed
me
very
much
;
upon
which
those
words
of
the
Scripture
came
into
my
thoughts
,
"
Call
upon
Me
in
the
day
of
trouble
,
and
I
will
deliver
,
and
thou
shalt
glorify
Me
.
"

Upon
this
,
rising
cheerfully
out
of
my
bed
,
my
heart
was
not
only
comforted
,
but
I
was
guided
and
encouraged
to
pray
earnestly
to
God
for
deliverance
.
When
I
had
done
praying
,
I
took
up
my
Bible
,
and
opening
it
to
read
,
the
first
words
that
presented
to
me
were
,
"
Wait
on
the
Lord
,
and
be
of
good
cheer
,
and
He
shall
strengthen
thy
heart
;
wait
,
I
say
,
on
the
Lord
.
"
It
is
impossible
to
express
the
comfort
this
gave
me
.
In
answer
,
I
thankfully
laid
down
the
book
,
and
was
no
more
sad
,
at
least
,
not
on
that
occasion
.
609
In
the
middle
of
these
cogitations
,
apprehensions
,
and
reflections
,
it
came
into
my
thought
one
day
,
that
all
this
might
be
a
mere
chimera
of
my
own
;
and
that
this
foot
might
be
the
print
of
my
own
foot
,
when
I
came
on
shore
from
my
boat
.
This
cheered
me
up
a
little
too
,
and
I
began
to
persuade
myself
it
was
all
a
delusion
,
that
it
was
nothing
else
but
my
own
foot
;
and
why
might
not
I
come
that
way
from
the
boat
,
as
well
as
I
was
going
that
way
to
the
boat
?
610
Again
,
I
considered
also
,
that
I
could
by
no
means
tell
,
for
certain
,
where
I
had
trod
,
and
where
I
had
not
;
and
that
if
,
at
last
,
this
was
only
the
print
of
my
own
foot
,
I
had
played
the
part
of
these
fools
who
strive
to
make
stories
of
spectre
and
apparitions
,
and
then
are
frighted
at
them
more
than
anybody
.
