Punctual you have reason to own me for if you knew the Difficulty I have undergone to get out to you Mar. I can guess at it and am too sensible of the Villany of that French-firework thy Damn'd Guardian not to know the Difficulty But 'prithee tell me what pretty Stratagem did Love instruct thee with to make me thus happy Amin. After Dinner 't is always his Custom to call for Tea in which I cunningly infus'd a Dram or two of Opium which made its Operation instantly for after sneezing two or three times and according to his usual manner fetching a Rhumatick Cough from the bottom of his Lungs which I always pray heartily may choak him Mar. And so do I too Faith I hope our prayers will be heard one Day Amin.

'T is a sad Tale but I can deny you nothing If you remember then I told you that Don Sebastian was my Father A generous Portuguise of Noble House and Nature and Governour of several large Plantations in the Happy Islands his Industry and Care made him so rich that he might vie with Princes so stor'd he was with Friends and Gifts of Fortune But many years he had not thus continued when Hell contriving how to blast our Joys drove on our Shore a number of French Pyrates of which La Mure was the most Villainous and being Captain of the rest and well stor'd with Ammunition enter'd upon our Fortress ruin'd our Plantations and chas'd the Peaceful Industrious Portugals like Flocks of Sheep upon the barren Mountains Mar. Inhumane Villains Amin. My Father in this distress willing to save his Treasure with the help of my Brother and a Party of Negro Slaves secretly Convey'd his Plate Money and Jewels into a small Vessel and put to Sea with design-to return when they were gone and comfort us with his Fortune and Policy Mar. The Design was prudent whatever the Event was Amin. Oh it was fatal For this Curst La Mure having Intelligence by his Spies of my Fathers escape and not knowing how to pursue him turn'd his rage upon my poor Mother my Sister and my self And having Laden his Ship with the Spoils and Riches of our Island carried us with him and the put to Sea Mar. Where will this end Amin. You shall know instantly And the greatest Barbarity that ever Villain acted For sailing thence a few Leagues and resolving to be revenged on us for the loss of my Father's Treasure he leaves my sighing Mother and a little Sister alone and comfortless upon a wild and barren Island Mar. Damn'd Hellish Dog Amin. And since that hour I never heard of ' em As to my self tho' an Infant it pleas'd his Devil-ship to like my face And therefore brought me with my Nurse who has since told me this Story with him to London where I have liv'd a melancholly and hated Life ever since And now am hourly plagu'd with the intollerable Harangues of his Nauseous Love and Impertinent Follies Oh Marine Mar. Why sighs my dearest Amin. What shall I do Mar. I 'le tell thee and charge thee by thy Love Nay by thy Soul and its divinest Virtue To perform my Injunction Amin. Can I with Honour do it Mar.

Oh! I shall ne're endure the Sea agen Mar. Rather endure a Storm in all its frights and dangers than live to be enslav'd to Villany Amin. But if you shou'd forsake me Oh misery And leave me helpless on some blasted Countrey As he once did my Mother Mar. Yet more doubts by all that 's good you wrong me prithee no more of it Come your Promise Amin. I do I must Mar. At twelve Amin. Exactly Mar. Till then farewell Heaven and its Angels guard thee Amin.
