pleasure_n to_o see_v the_o folly_n of_o his_o country_n man_n as_o i_o have_v do_v many_o a_o time_n to_o behold_v all_o their_o extravagant_a humour_n at_o last_o after_o a_o journey_n and_o diversion_n together_o of_o three_o day_n the_o prince_n bring_v i_o back_o by_o another_o way_n to_o take_v my_o leave_n of_o his_o father_n the_o king_n caress_v i_o a_o thousand_o time_n after_o a_o most_o oblige_a manner_n according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o his_o country_n and_o make_v i_o promise_v i_o shall_v give_v he_o a_o visit_v the_o first_o time_n i_o return_v into_o guiney_n then_o we_o embark_v in_o our_o canoe_n and_o next_o day_n come_v to_o prince_n thomas_n his_o village_n where_o he_o continue_v to_o treat_v we_o after_o the_o manner_n he_o have_v be_v use_v to_o do_v here_o he_o speak_v to_o i_o again_o that_o he_o will_v have_v i_o stand_v witness_n for_o his_o son_n at_o his_o baptism_n which_o i_o do_v with_o so_o much_o the_o more_o pleasure_n in_o that_o i_o be_v helpful_a to_o make_v a_o christian_n and_o sanctify_v a_o soul_n but_o as_o i_o be_v dubious_a whether_o the_o priest_n of_o the_o town_n know_v how_o to_o baptize_v the_o child_n or_o that_o he_o can_v remember_v the_o word_n he_o ought_v to_o say_v at_o the_o administration_n of_o that_o sacrament_n i_o desire_v the_o prince_n to_o send_v for_o a_o priest_n out_o of_o one_o of_o the_o portuguese_n ship_n which_o he_o present_o do_v to_o cape_n lopez_n so_o that_o one_o come_v from_o thence_o in_o two_o day_n time_n the_o portuguese_n be_v the_o people_n that_o bring_v the_o christian_a religion_n first_o into_o these_o country_n it_o be_v true_a they_o have_v not_o keep_v the_o same_o up_o there_o as_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v but_o the_o difficulty_n that_o obstruct_v that_o good_a establishment_n proceed_v without_o doubt_n from_o hence_o that_o man_n must_v dwell_v in_o a_o country_n that_o be_v no_o better_a than_o savage_a where_o the_o air_n and_o their_o victual_n be_v ●ot_n so_o agreeable_a to_o stranger_n to_o give_v religion_n a_o sure_a foot_n in_o these_o region_n it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o european_n have_v fix_v habitation_n or_o build_v town_n there_o that_o they_o instruct_v the_o negro_n in_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o that_o they_o send_v out_o missionary_n from_o time_n to_o time_n among_o these_o poor_a wretch_n this_o might_n very_o easy_o be_v do_v because_o these_o people_n be_v very_o docible_a and_o ready_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n which_o you_o will_v teach_v they_o as_o have_v live_v without_o any_o faith_n at_o all_o or_o any_o idea_n of_o another_o religion_n for_o a_o long_a time_n these_o negro_n be_v once_o become_v christian_n you_o may_v make_v priest_n among_o they_o of_o their_o own_o nation_n who_o may_v be_v furnish_v with_o book_n for_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o church_n and_o a_o catechism_n for_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o faith_n until_o they_o be_v capable_a to_o read_v the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v necessary_a also_o that_o a_o bishop_n be_v constitute_v in_o this_o town_n who_o shall_v take_v care_n to_o send_v priest_n to_o the_o dwelling_n of_o the_o negro_n up_o and_o down_o the_o country_n and_o to_o build_v oratory_n in_o the_o most_o populous_a place_n the_o christian_a religion_n may_v in_o this_o manner_n be_v settle_v in_o guiney_n and_o so_o become_v less_o subject_a to_o be_v ruin_v by_o the_o war_n which_o stranger_n make_v there_o the_o christian_n also_o who_o dwell_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o fess_n and_o

for_o the_o keep_n up_o of_o religion_n on_o all_o the_o coast_n of_o africa_n it_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n not_o unlike_a unto_o this_o that_o christianity_n establish_v itself_o among_o the_o gentile_n who_o be_v a_o hundred_o fold_n more_o averse_a to_o our_o faith_n than_o the_o negro_n of_o guiney_n the_o priest_n of_o this_o country_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n no_o priest_n at_o
