beginning of May 1795 went _away_ with all his famely, leaving only the two ma_idens and_ me behind him. It was the 10 or 12 of Ju_ne that_ I went to S^{t.} Paul's and Roscoff to see my old f_riends, where_ I was received like a king, and with[76] sum_e people_ I never had but very little acquaintance _with. I had_ my time to my self as usual, only at [...] meals. I found the same solatry place _as before_, where I was brought to examine _myself_ whether I was growing in grace or _not_ [...] so I had a bl_essed_ t_ime_. I returned back again to Morlaix aboute the 26 or 27 June, 1795, like a jiant refreshed with new wine. There I was received again with that loving family with the greatest afection. Praise be unto God for so many dear friends. It was nearley aboute this time I went with aboute a half a score men to put a boat of Mr. Diot's in a large building that was before a tobacko manefactry in the shade, and after I had got the boat to the place I wanted, I went from the people to gett a cornar to myself to pray, and looking aboute I saw a large scales and weights close by me. I thought as no person saw me I would way myself, and all the weight my weight was 6 score and 15 pound.[77] I was set to _won_der where all my weight was gone, as I did for _many_ years before way 10 score, and when I came _home_ I tried un a waistcoat that I had not worn for _several_ years before, and I found it too big for me, _may_ be upon the round nine inches, and I never know in all these years no not _one single day_ of sickness. I think it was the 10 July, 1795, Capt^{n.} [...] _the_ Capt^{n.} of a frigat that was taken, and Mr. Moress [...] _of_ the "Elazander" man-of-mar, came _to Morlaix in_ order to gett a passage to England in a _vessel_, who dined and supped at Mr. Diot's. _They_ made very free with me all _the same as if I_ was their equal, and one day, by a friend, desired me to call at their lodging, they wanted to speak with me. I went with fear and trembling, and the business was as follows. They said, "Mr. C., we have been talking about you, as you have been here so long a prisnor, wearing your old clothes out, your time passing away, earning nothing. We think you may go with us in safety. Put your clothes on board the evning before we sail, gett on board in the night, you'l never be inquired after, nither found wanting." I answerd to this purpas: "Jen^{t.}, I thank you kindly, but first you'l give me leave to inform you I was brought out of prison upon Mr. Diot's interest, tho' he never sined any paper, nither gave his word that I should continue in the country. Notwithstanding that, in these critical times, if I was to go without his leave, he might be caled to an account for it after ward. If you will be so good as to ask Mr. Diot, and with his leave, I will gladly go with you." They commended me very much, and said _the_ first opertunity they would ask him, and I should know of them again. In the course of
