"All this while I sat upon the Ground very much terrify'd and dejected..."
 
 
 
 

"In the Morning I took the Bible, and beginning at the New Testament, I began seriously to read it..."
 
 
 
 

"...I reap'd it my Way, for I cut nothing off but the Ears, and carry'd it away in a great Basket which I had made..."
 
 
 
 

"I stood like one Thunder-struck, or as if I had seen an Apparition..."
 
 
 
 

"I laid me down flat on my Belly, on the Ground, and began to look for the Place..."
 
 
 
 

"...and then he kneel'd down again, kiss'd the Ground, and laid his Head upon the Ground, and taking me by the Foot, set my Foot upon his Head..."
 
 
 
 

"...we cut and hew'd the out-side into the true Shape of a Boat..."
 
 
 
 

"...and no sooner had he the Arms in his Hands, but as if they had put new Vigour into him, he flew upon his Murtherers, like a Fury..."
 
 
 
 

"At first, for some time, I was not able to answer him one Word; but as he had taken me in his Arms, I held fast by him, or I should have fallen to the Ground."
