An Historical Relation Of The Island Ceylon In The East Indies

PART IV
114/241

But soon after I came home I was sent for again.

So I took my load of Victuals with me, and arrived at the City, but went not to the Court, but to my former Lodging, where I staid as formerly, until I had spent all my Provisions: and by the good hand of my God upon me, I never heard any more of that matter.

Neither came I any more into the Presence of the Great-men at Court, but dwelt in my own Plantation, upon what God provided for me by my Labour and Industry.
[Having escaped the Court service, falls to his former course of life.] For now I returned to my former course of life, dressing my Victuals daily with mine own hands, fetching both Wood and Water upon mine own back.

And this, for ought I could see to the contrary, I was like to continue for my life time.

This I could do for the Present, but I began to consider how helpless I should be, if it should please God I should live till I grew old and feeble.
