go with them on shore, which I did with great pleasure, though I was ashamed of myself being very dirty. Arrived at their house I was put into a bath to wash me, for I had need of it; and clothes were provided for me: after I was dress'd I could not believe that it was the unhappy me, when looking at my ragged clothes which I had on but a few minutes ago; I was in a perfect state of happiness, for nothing concerning the necessaries of life was wanting for me. I was in that state of affluence for three months, and wheresoever they went, they took me with them, so that I was acquainted with the best company of the Town: but for all that I did not forget my GOD. Some time after they procured me a passage on board a Ship that was going to _St. Thomas_: all necessaries, both for life and body were provided for me, and ten guineas which they gave me when we parted, also letters of recommendation. We went out of the Harbour and sailed towards _Dominica_, where we cast Anchor to take some passengers, and from thence we sailed to _St. Kits_, where a part of the convoy were waiting for us, after to _St. Bartholomew_, for some other business, and from thence to _St. Thomas_, where we arrived safe after a good voyage. I went to the Gentlemen for whom I had letters of recommendation, and was received with great civility and kindness; one of them took me to his house while I stay'd at _St. Thomas's_. The first Sunday I went to Church with him and another Gentleman that I did not know, and that same Gentleman said to me after we came out of Church; "I hope you love GOD, young man?" I said yes, well, said he, "in all your troubles trust to the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and whatsoever you stand in need off, ask it in his name, and I am sure He will grant it unto you, for He has promised through _His Blood_ to make intercession for us." I kindly thanked him for his instruction, and he withdrew. I remained at _St. Thomas_ three weeks, and took an opportunity of going to _Guadeloupe_; but before I took leave of the Gentleman where I was at, I thanked him for all his goodness: he said, "you are welcome to stay longer if you chuse;" I returned him my thanks saying, I wished to see _Guadeloupe_. "Here is a purse (_says he_,) which I beg your acceptance of;" then shook hands with me, and retired, he one way, and I the other. I immediately went on board, and in a few minutes were out of sight of the place where I received so much kindness. I had a pleasant and short voyage, and safely landed at that most desired Island of _Guadeloupe_. I hasted to see my acquaintances; and having inquired after my Brothers, I heard that they were taken prisoners, and conducted to _Plymouth_ in great _Britain_. As I had nothing do and no desire to go to Sea any more, I went again to my late master (_the Planter_:) who was very glad to see me, and encouraged me by raising my wages, which made me apply the more to my business.
