Neither can they by any Power or Authority refuse the Payment hereof to us.

For in my own hearing the People once complaining of their Poverty and Inability to give us any longer our Allowance, the Magistrate or Governor replied, It was the King's special Command, and who durst disannul it.

And if otherwise they could not supply us with our maintenance he bad them sell their Wives and Children, rather than we should want of our due.

Such is the favour that Almighty God hath given Christian People in the sight of this Heathen King; whose entertainment and usage of them is thus favourable.
[How they maintain Christianity among them.] If any enquire into the Religious exercise and Worship practised among the Christians here, I am sorry I must say it, I can give but a slender account.

For they have no Churches nor no Priests, and so no meetings together on the Lord's Dayes for Divine Worship, but each one Reads or Prays at his own House as he is disposed.
