During my stay here many proposals were made for my return toEngland, but none falling out to my mind, the English merchant wholodged with me, and whom I had contracted an intimate acquaintancewith, came to me one morning, saying: "Countryman, I have aproject to communicate, which, as it suits with my thoughts, may,for aught I know, suit with yours also, when you shall havethoroughly considered it. Here we are posted, you by accident andI by my own choice, in a part of the world very remote from our owncountry; but it is in a country where, by us who understand tradeand business, a great deal of money is to be got. If you will putone thousand pounds to my one thousand pounds, we will hire a shiphere, the first we can get to our minds. You shall be captain,I'll be merchant, and we'll go a trading voyage to China; for whatshould we stand still for? The whole world is in motion; whyshould we be idle?"
The sight, you may be sure, was something uncouth to our Spaniards,who were, to give them a just character, men of the most calm,sedate tempers, and perfect good humour, that ever I met with:and, in particular, of the utmost modesty: I say, the sight wasvery uncouth, to see three naked men and five naked women, alltogether bound, and in the most miserable circumstances that humannature could be supposed to be, viz. to be expecting every momentto be dragged out and have their brains knocked out, and then to beeaten up like a calf that is killed for a dainty.
The Spaniards were often saying to one another, and to the twohonest Englishmen who remained behind, how quietly and comfortablythey lived, now these three turbulent fellows were gone. As fortheir coming again, that was the remotest thing from their thoughtsthat could be imagined; when, behold, after two-and-twenty days'absence, one of the Englishmen being abroad upon his planting work,sees three strange men coming towards him at a distance, with gunsupon their shoulders.
