For altho I was the Master and he the Man, yet when we came into the Watches, he was the Keeper and I the Prisoner.

And by this means we passed without being suspected.
[Began the world anew the third time.] Being come into my old Quarters, by pretending that this man was sent down from the Magistrate to see that my Debts and Demands might be duely paid and discharged, I chanced to recover some of them, and the rest gave over for lost; for I never more looked after them.

And so I began the world anew, and by the Blessing of God was again pretty well recruited before I left this Town.
[Plots to remove himself.] In the time of my residence here, I chanced to hear of a small piece of Land that was to be sold.

About which I made very diligent inquiry.

For altho I was sore a weary of living in this Town, yet I could not get out of it, not having other new Quarters appointed me, unless I could provide a place for my self to remove to: which now God had put into my hand.
