I was amazed to see so much true piety, and so much sincerity ofzeal, besides the unusual impartiality in his discourse as to hisown party or church, and such true warmth for preserving peoplethat he had no knowledge of or relation to from transgressing thelaws of God. But recollecting what he had said of marrying them bya written contract, which I knew he would stand to, I returned itback upon him, and told him I granted all that he had said to bejust, and on his part very kind; that I would discourse with themen upon the point now, when I came to them; and I knew no reasonwhy they should scruple to let him marry them all, which I knewwell enough would be granted to be as authentic and valid inEngland as if they were married by one of our own clergymen.
illed by anarrow, which struck him on the side of his head, just under thetemple, so that he never spoke more; and it was very remarkablethat this was the same barbarous fellow that cut the poor savageslave with his hatchet, and who afterwards intended to havemurdered the Spaniards.
First, we went ten days' journey to Nankin, a city well worthseeing; they say it has a million of people in it: it is regularlybuilt, and the streets are all straight, and cross one another indirect lines.

We wonder at the grandeur, the riches,the pomp, the ceremonies, the government, the manufactures, thecommerce, and conduct of these people; not that there is really anymatter for wonder, but because, having a true notion of thebarbarity of those countries, the rudeness and the ignorance thatprevail there, we do not expect to find any such thing so far off.Otherwise, what are their buildings to the palaces and royalbuildings of Europe?

We told him we were ready tofollow him; so he rode directly towards them. They stood gazing atus like a mere crowd, drawn up in no sort of order at all; but assoon as they saw us advance, they let fly their arrows, whichmissed us, very happily.

When the Spaniards came homeat night, and they were all at supper, one of them took the freedomto reprove the three Englishmen, though in very gentle and mannerlyterms, and asked them how they could be so cruel, they beingharmless, inoffensive fellows: that they were putting themselvesin a way to subsist by their labour, and that it had cost them agreat deal of pains to bring things to such perfection as they werethen
