And secondly, because there was no other way to escape him: and plain reason would tell him, that we being prisoners were without our bounds.

Whereupon we concluded, that our best way would be to go boldly and resolutely to his house, and not to seem daunted in the least, or to look as if we did distrust him to disallow of our Journey, but to shew such a behaviour, as if we had authority to travail where we would.
[The Method they used to prevent his suspicion of them.] So we went forward, and were forced to enquire and ask the way to his house, having never been so far this way before.

I brought from home with me Knives with fine carved handles, and a red Tunis Cap purposely to sell or give him, if occasion required, knowing before, that we must pass by him.

And all along as we went, that we might be the less suspected, we sold Caps and other Ware, to be paid for at our return homewards.

There were many cross Paths to and fro to his house, yet by Gods Providence we happened in the right Road.
