57005When the Pyrates came on board, they asked Rutland, if he was Commander?
57005When they were put off, the Captain of the Speaker desired them to come back, he wanted to speak with them; Captain Booth asked, what he wanted?
57005Where they lay?
57005Whether bound?
36628And how shall they stand together twenty or thirty years, think ye, if the queen should live so long?
36628And if so, what is the protestant religion to us?
36628And if they can not be in a posture to defend and maintain him when they have him, how shall he be encouraged to venture himself among them?
36628And what a noise about who shall or shall not be king, the Lord knows when?
36628And why the contrary to this was not made appear, according to the promises which, they say, though falsely, were made by the late King William?
36628Are not any of these considerations enough to make any of us averse to the protestant succession?
36628Besides, are not your breaches come up to that height already as to let any impartial bystander see that popery must be the consequences?
36628But here comes an objection in our way, which, however weighty, we must endeavour to get over, and this is, what becomes of the abjuration?
36628Had we not much better be papists than traitors?
36628Had we not much better deny our God, our baptism, our religion, and our lives, than deny our lawful prince, our next male in a right line?
36628How will it come in?
36628If it should be asked how have these any such reference?
36628If the physicians prescribe a vomit for the cure of any particular distemper, will the patient complain of being made sick?
36628Is it agreeable to the true interest of the nation?
36628Is it not a strange thing we can not be quiet with the queen we have, but we must all fall into confusion and combustions about who shall come after?
36628Is this rational?
36628May not popery be very good in its kind?
36628Nay, one, two, three, or four times?
36628Nay, when even in their hearts they have all the while resolved to be for the pretender?
36628Now, what say the people, must we think of living twenty or thirty years in this wrangling condition we are now in?
36628Popery came in, as they feared, and all went to ruin; and what came of the protestant successor?
36628REASONS AGAINST THE SUCCESSION,& c. What strife is here among you all?
36628The first thing it seems to be made clear to the common people is, whether the pretender was the lawful son of King James, yea, or no?
36628The son of King James, or the son of a cinder- woman?
36628Well, well, and what hurt will this be to you?
36628Well, what followed, I pray?
36628What can be a more lively representation of our case now before us?
36628What if this popery, like the vomit made of poison, be the only physic that can cure you?
36628What is all this but telling us plainly that the whole nation is running into popery and the pretender?
36628What must become of trade, of religion, of society, of relation, of families, of people?
36628What should he resolve on?
36628What, then, is the signification to the people of Britain whether the person called the pretender be legitimate, or no?
36628Why should we think it strange, then, that protestants now in this age, and Church of England protestants too, should be for a popish pretender?
36628Why, pray folks, how old is the queen, and when is she to die?
36628You call such a man the pretender, but is he not the son of our king?
36628and what was the consequence?
36628should you think it amiss to have me talk of doing it openly and avowedly?
36628what will become of you at this rate?
36628why, do all these people say we are perjured already?
36628would you bring over the family of Hanover to have them murdered?
36656And to what intent and purpose was all this zeal, if you will sink under the ruin of the very fabric ye have pulled down?
36656And when your liberties are gone, how long will your religion remain?
36656And whither are you going?
36656And why was that union so vigorously opposed by all those that adhered to the jacobite interest?
36656Are they not the friends of France and Rome?
36656But if that is not sufficient, what do they say to you as to his love of the liberty of his country?
36656But what has all this been for?
36656Can he have any notion of government there but what is cruel, oppressive, absolute, and despotic?
36656Do not all the papists join with them?
36656Do not all those who hated the revolution, and who long to restore arbitrary government, join with them?
36656For God''s sake, Britons, what are you doing?
36656Has he been bred up in a tyrannical absolute court for nothing?
36656Have they not been twenty years trying your strength, till they find it impossible for them to master you?
36656How shall the Church of England stand, when in subjection to the Church of Rome?
36656If he can be ungrateful to the king of France, who has done so much for him, what must he be to you, who have done so much against him?
36656Is he not tied by the laws of friendship and gratitude to be so?
36656Is this acting like Britons; like protestants, like lovers of liberty?
36656Nay, is it acting like men of reasonable souls, and men who have the light of common sense to act by?
36656To what dreadful precipices are ye hurrying yourselves?
36656To what purpose was the revolution?
36656What principles of government will he come over with?
36656When set upon the British throne, who are his allies and confederates?
36656When this was done, why did ye mock God with a thanksgiving,[9] and banter the world with your pretended praises to heaven for your deliverance?
36656Wherefore thy nation exhausted; thy trade sunk and interrupted; thy veins opened?
36656Who can save them that will destroy themselves?
36656Why all the money expended?
36656Why all this blood spilt?
36656Why did you cry in your oppressions to God and the Prince of Orange to deliver you?
36656Why did you mock yourselves at so vast an expense?
36656Why did you rise as one man against King James and his popish adherents?
36656Why in so many acts of parliament[12] is he called the great deliverer of the nation?
36656Why is he in so many addresses[11] styled the rescuer of this nation from popery and slavery?
36656Why the names of every person that should succeed, so expressly and particularly mentioned and set down?
36656Why was King James and his popish posterity entirely excluded for ever from enjoying the imperial crown of these realms?
36656Why was the settlement of the succession in a protestant line made the principal reason of uniting the two kingdoms together?
36656Why, if he will abjure the Romish errors and turn protestant, why, I say, do the papists speak in his favour?
36656Will he be so ungrateful as not to be always at the devotion and command of the French king?
36656Will he not always be in his interest, nay, ought he not to be so?
36656Will you be ruined by a people whom you ought to despise?
36656[ 13] Why so many acts of parliament[14] to secure that entail, and punish with death those who should reject or oppose it?
36656that persuade you to these things?
36656what ailest thee now?
36656who can stand by you then?
40580And speaking to the Prisoners, he asked them, Does your Captain give you Victuals enough?
40580And what they had to say in their Defence?
40580And whether if he had not told him, should the Company discharge any Surgeon, that he would insist on it as his Turn?
40580And, from whence came you?
40580Answer me, Sirrah,--How will you be try''d?
40580Are there not Fishermen''s Dories upon the Beach?
40580At coming away, the Prisoner asked about his Note, whether the Pyrates had it or no?
40580Avery answered cooly, Nothing; the Captain replied, something''s the Matter with the Ship, Does she drive?
40580Ca n''t you take one of them?
40580Can you charge your Memory with any Particulars in the Seizure and Robbery?
40580Consider!--How dare you talk of considering?
40580Do you make it a Matter of Conscience?
40580From some of the Prisoners acquitted, it was farther demanded, whether the Acceptance or Refusal of any Office was not in their own Option?
40580Heaven, you Fool, says Sutton, did you ever hear of any Pyrates going thither?
40580How those Guns came to be fired?
40580If they were not of the same Christian Religion, and owned the same blessed Jesus, and the like?
40580Is it you?
40580Or were there here any other Reasons for it?
40580Or why they had not deserted their Stations, and mutinied, when so fair a Prospect of Redemption offered?
40580Roche said, Captain Tartoue used many Words for Mercy, and asked them, if he had not used them with Civility and Kindness?
40580The Court then ask''d, who made those Laws?
40580Then every one that goes on Board of any Prize, does it voluntarily?
40580They are like mad Men, that cast Fire- Brands, Arrows, and Death, and say, are not we in Sport?
40580They ask''d him how it was possible, since it was garrisoned?
40580Were there no Jealousies of the Ranger''s leaving you in this Chace, or at any other Time, in order to surrender?
40580What Weather is it?
40580What, says Vane, would you have me steal a Dory then?
40580When they came within Hail, the Master whom they had Prisoner, was ordered to ask, how Seignior Capitain did?
40580Whether he had not said, at taking the Ships in Whydah Road, that he could like the Sport, were it lawful?
40580Which Way can I get away?
40580and whence he comes?
40580and whether bound?
40580says the Captain, How can that be?
40580what are you going to do, Carpenter?
7799Ah,he sighed,"must I die here?
7799But how?
7799Has your ship been cast upon the rocks too, and been broken to pieces? 7799 How can we get food for ourselves and fifteen others?
7799How could it have gotten there? 7799 How often have I told you to go to school every day?"
7799How will it be in winter,he cried,"when it is cold, and I have no fire?"
7799Is it not wonderful,he thought,"how all our wants are filled?
7799What can I do with riches on this island? 7799 What if they were discovered and killed or carried away?"
7799What is the use?
7799What will become of me when the winter comes? 7799 Who are you?"
7799Who knows how long I must wait here?
7799Who, who, who are you?
7799Why do you do so?
7799Why need the strips be flat?
7799Would you trust yourself in this boat?
7799''Do you not wish you were back in your own country, Friday?''
7799''What would you do there,''said I?
7799''Would you turn wild again and do as the savages do?''
7799As he left his cave the thought struck him:"What if I could not find my cave again?
7799Both your father and myself are getting along in years and who will take care of us when we are sick?
7799But from whence must come the tools?
7799But he could not wait for such a thing to happen, and how could he keep it when once thus obtained?
7799But how could he break it and at the same time save the juice?
7799But how was he to get them?
7799But if they could come to his island in their canoes against the prevailing wind, why could he not get to the mainland with it in his favor?
7799But what should he do for needle and thread?
7799But what was that?
7799But where could he get salt?
7799But where should he pass the night?
7799Could Robinson preserve the meat?
7799Every few minutes from the depths of the forest would come the doleful cry,"Who, who are you?"
7799Had he not made everything with his own hands?
7799He began to call and halloo:"Where are you?"
7799He had not gone far from the tree in which the yellow tails had their nests when he was suddenly startled by a voice crying,"Who, who are you?"
7799He knew he must in some way grind the corn into flour, but how could he do this?
7799He must write down the days as they slip by, but where and how?
7799He wanted to rush to the rescue of the rabbit, but what could he do against such a foe?
7799How can I manage so that I can come back to it?
7799How could he do it?
7799How shall I save myself?
7799How should he open them?
7799I will go away in one direction and return the same way; but suppose I were to lose the way?"
7799It was clear he must have some way of producing fire when he wanted it, just as they did at home?
7799It will be cold then in my cave; what shall I do?
7799Robinson noticed his joy and asked him,"Do you want to return to your own people?"
7799Should he mark every day with a colored stone on the smooth side of the huge rock wall within whose clefts he had dug out his cave?
7799Then he thought, how could it come into this wilderness on this lonesome island?
7799Then he wished to see if anyone lived on the land, and he cried,"Is there no one here?
7799VII THE FIRST NIGHT ON LAND"Where are my companions?"
7799Was it snow?
7799Was it the sound of a cannon from the ocean or the terrible crash and roar of the water on the rocks of the coast?
7799Was the owner savage or not?
7799What could he do against so great a number?
7799What did he want on the island?"
7799What shall I do?"
7799What should he do?
7799What was left behind?
7799What will become of me?"
7799Where are you Robinson, where have you been?"
7799Where shall I fly for safety?
7799Where shall I turn?
7799Where then were the stakes to come from?
7799Which should he take?
7799Who would bury me?
7799Whose was it?
7799Why may I not get fire by striking together two stones?
7799Will no ship ever come to set me free?"
7799said Friday,"can we not help?
7799what are my dear parents saying?
35774After this discourse was over, I asked him what he inferred from it, as to the wealth of the country not being discovered?
35774But seignior, says he, what people is it you are speaking of?
35774But, seignior, says I, does not his Catholic majesty claim a title to the possession of it?
35774For why may we not be allowed to suppose that the country on the same continent, and in the same latitude, should produce the same growth?
35774He presently ran over some of them, and, naming Baldivia first, as the most southward, he asked me how many I thought were there?
35774He said little to me, but asked me if I cared to walk a little way by this kind of light?
35774I asked him concerning the natives in the country where we were?
35774I asked him how long such a treasure might be amassing together in that country?
35774I asked him how much gold in weight he thought there might be in all he had shown me?
35774I asked him if the Andes were a mere wall of mountains, contiguous and without intervals and spaces, like a fortification, or boundary to a country?
35774I asked him if there were any considerable rivers in it, and which way they generally run?
35774I asked him if these notions of his were common among those of his country who were settled in Chili and Peru?
35774I asked him if they were not alarmed with them?
35774I asked him what he meant by that?
35774I asked him what kind of a country was on the other side?
35774I offered any of you that did not like to go the voyage to quit the ship; is that what you intend by one and all?
35774I sincerely begged my landlord''s pardon for disturbing his house, and asked him if those eruptions were frequent?
35774No, no, says he, it is never dark here, you are now come to the country of everlasting day; what think you?
35774Pray, seignior capitain, says he, how many Spaniards do you think there may be in this vast country of Chili?
35774The boatswain, a rugged fellow, provided himself with a halter, and coming up to the pilot, asked him what it was he wanted to be satisfied in?
35774The mate then asked him, Pray, gunner, how many such men can you answer for?
35774The next inquiry I ordered them to make was, whether it was possible to pass those hills with horses or mules, or any kind of carriages?
35774Then I put it to them whether they thought it might not be practicable to travel over that vast level country to the North Seas?
35774Then he asked if I gave him leave to speak freely, and would not take offence at what he might say?
35774Then we asked them whence their ship?
35774This discovery made me ask if the water went away into the new world beyond the hills?
35774Upon my putting this question to my patron, he asked the Chilian how long ago it was since such a stream, calling it by a name of their own, ran fire?
35774Upon my saying to Tom, What do you do among them?
35774Well, Tom, says I, but what do you do among them then?
35774Well, said I, seignior, but how do they go out of one valley into another?
35774What are they burning there?
35774What, does he reckon us to be in the plot?
35774When they were come almost up to us, he called to his men in Spanish, to ask if they had had Una bon vejo?
35774While we omit such things as these, seignior, says he, what signifies Spain making new acquisitions, or the people of Spain seeking new countries?
35774Why, how now, Tom, says I, to one of them; what are you among the mutineers?
35774and have the Spaniards no governor over it?
35774and how long time it would take up to go through from one side to the other?
35774and if they were not attended with earthquakes?
35774and what made him venture himself upon the sea, to fall into the hands of pirates?
35774and whether any of their people had gone, over and knew the passages?
35774and whether there lay any way over them into the country beyond?
35774and whither do they go at last?
35774in the dark, said I, in such a country as this?
35774is not this Elysium?
35774nor any ports or towns, settlements, or colonies in it, as is the case here in Chili?
35774one of the fellows says to one of the officers that stood at a little distance from me, What does the captain mean by saying, among them?
35774or whether they lay promiscuous, and distant from one another?
35774or whether they were his own private opinions only?
35774what country there was beyond them?
17221And how much hast thou gotten for them?
17221But,said I,"why do you not come at them?
17221How much was it?
17221Say''st thou so?
17221To do?
17221Was not you at the Bull Head Tavern in Gracechurch Street, with Mr.----, the night before last?
17221Well, but,says I to him,"did you leave her the four shillings too, which you said was your week''s pay?"
17221Well, friend,says I,"but how can you get money as a waterman?
17221Well,said I,"and have you given it them yet?"
17221What business, mistress,said I,"have you had there?"
17221What do you want?
17221Why, what do you intend to do?
17221Why,says I,"what do you here all alone?"
17221--"But I ai n''t dead, though, am I?"
17221--"How do you mean, then,"said I,"that you are not visited?"
17221--"Where are you?"
17221And do they not all know that the fact is true?
17221And do you assure us that you are all sound men?
17221And turning to the women,"Forsooth,"said I,"what are you doing here?"
17221And what shall I do?
17221And what way are you going?
17221And will you assure us that your other people shall offer us no new disturbance?
17221Are you all disturbed at me?
17221But how do you live, then, and how are you kept from the dreadful calamity that is now upon us all?"
17221But how shall they make me vagrant?
17221But, suppose they let us pass, whither shall we go?
17221Do you see there,"says he,"five ships lie at anchor?"
17221Does anybody go by water these times?"
17221How can you abandon your own flesh and blood?"
17221How do you do?
17221How many are you?
17221How, then, was it that you came away no sooner?
17221I have no work: what could I do?
17221If they all furnish you with food, what will you be the worse?
17221Is not flying to save our lives a lawful occasion?
17221It does not lead into the road that we want to go, and why should you force us out of the road?
17221Now, the question seems to lie thus: Where lay the seeds of the infection all this while?
17221Or thus,"Why, what must I do?
17221Says John the biscuit baker, one day, to Thomas, his brother, the sailmaker,"Brother Tom, what will become of us?
17221So another called to him, and said,"Who are you?"
17221Some would return, when they said good news, and ask,"What good news?"
17221The other asked again,"Is he quite dead?"
17221The person answered,"What is that to you?
17221They asked him,"Why, Mr.----, where are you going?"--"Going?"
17221To shut up your compassion, in a case of such distress as this?
17221Turned out of your lodging, Tom?
17221Was the plague come to the places where you lived?
17221We have offered no violence to you yet, why do you seem to oblige us to it?
17221Well, what quantity of provisions will you send us?
17221What can be said to represent the misery of these times more lively to the reader, or to give him a perfect idea of a more complicated distress?
17221What do you stay there for?
17221What is it you demand of us?
17221What is the matter?"
17221What lawful occasions can we pretend to travel, or rather wander, upon?
17221What mean you by that?
17221What part do you come from?
17221What part of the town do you come from?
17221What shall we do?"
17221What shall we do?"
17221When he opened the door, says he,"What do you disturb me thus for?"
17221Where am I?"
17221Whither will you go, and what can you do?
17221Why do n''t you begone?
17221Why do you stop us on the King''s highway, and pretend to refuse us leave to go on our way?
17221Why, what will you do then, brother?
17221Why, you will not pretend to quarter upon us by force, will you?
17221Why, you would not have us starve, would you?
17221how came it to stop so long, and not stop any longer?
17221pointing down the river a good way below the town;"and do you see,"says he,"eight or ten ships lie at the chain there, and at anchor yonder?"
17221says John;"what would you have us to do?"
17221says he with all the seeming calmness imaginable,"is it so with you all?
17221they could hear the women say, as if frighted,"Do not go near them; how do you know but they may have the plague?"
17221which it seems was her name,"did you take up the money?"
11239And where, Sir,said I,"is your belief of my being preserved here on purpose to save your life, which elevated you a little while ago?
11239Are you ready, Friday?
11239For what, Xury?
11239Look you, Sir,said I,"if I venture upon your deliverance, are you willing to make two conditions with me?"
11239So you kill them?
11239Well then,said I,"leave the rest to me; I see they are all asleep, it is an easy thing to kill them all: but shall we rather take them prisoners?"
11239Well,said I to him,"Friday, what will you do now?
11239Well,says Friday,"but you say God is so strong, so great; is he not much strong, much might as the devil?"
11239What must I do with this?
11239What must I kill you for?
11239What would you do there?
11239--"A cap- full do you call it?"
11239--"A storm, you fool you,"replied he,"do you call that a storm?
11239--"All help is from Heaven, Sir,"said I:"But can you put a stranger in the way how to help you?
11239--"But,"says he again,"if God much stronger, much might as the devil, why God no kill the devil, so make him no more do wicked?"
11239--"Have they any fire- arms?"
11239--"What is that?"
11239--"What''s the matter, Friday?"
11239--"Where are these brutes, your enemies?"
11239--"Who must we yield to?
11239--"Why, Friday,"says I,"do you think they are going to eat them then?"
11239--"Why,"says I,"Friday, did not you say you wished you were there?"
11239--"Will they give us quarter then?"
11239And how was it possible a man should come there?
11239And what am I, and all the other creatures, wild and tame, human and brutal?
11239And who is that?
11239As I sat here, some such thoughts as these occurred to me: What is this earth and sea, of which I have seen so much?
11239As to my boat, it was a very good one; and that he saw, and told me he would buy it of me for the ship''s use; and asked me what I would have for it?
11239Ask, why is it that thou wert not long ago destroyed?
11239Bob, Come, let us make a bowl of punch, and we''ll forget all that; do you see what charming weather it is now?"
11239But I am cast on an island where I see no wild beast to hurt me, as I saw on the coast of Africa: and what if I had been shipwrecked there?
11239But all I could make use of was all that was valuable: I had enough to eat and supply my wants, and what was the rest to me?
11239But what need I have been concerned at the tediousness of any thing I had to do, seeing I had time enough to do it in?
11239But why did not your side recover you from the hands of your enemies then?
11239Did not you come eleven of you into the boat?
11239Do they carry them away and eat them, as these did?
11239Do they come hither?
11239Dost thou ask what thou hast done?"
11239Have I done my part?
11239Have I not been delivered, and wonderfully too, from sickness; from the most distressed condition that could be, and that was so frightful to me?
11239Have you been here with them?
11239He asked me again,"Why you angry mad with Friday?
11239He returns very quick,"What you send Friday away for?
11239He said, Yes; they all went to Benamuckee: then I asked him whether these they eat up went thither too?
11239He told upon his fingers seventeen, I asked him then what became of them?
11239How beat?
11239How came you here?"
11239I asked him how it came to pass they did not kill them, and eat them?
11239I asked him how many?
11239I asked him if either of them were the heads of the mutiny?
11239I asked him if ever he went thither to speak to him?
11239I asked him if the people who die in his country went away any where?
11239I asked him then, if this old person had made all things, why did not all things worship him?
11239I asked him what it was he studied upon?
11239I asked him what was the matter with him?
11239I asked him what was the matter?
11239I asked him which they were?
11239I asked him why he would go?
11239I came as near them undiscovered as I could, and then, before any of them saw me, I called aloud to them in Spanish,"What are ye, gentlemen?"
11239I warrant you were frightened, wa''n''t you, last night, when it blew but a cap- full of wind?"
11239I was sincerely affected with this discourse, as indeed who could be otherwise?
11239If I should be sick, I shall certainly die for want of help; and what will become of me?"
11239If your nation beat them, how came you to be taken?
11239Immediately it followed, Why has God done this to me?
11239Is it a real man or an angel?"
11239Is it better to be here or there?"
11239Look back upon a dreadful misspent life, and ask thyself, what thou hast not done?
11239Pray,"continues he,"what are you; and on what account did you go to sea?"
11239So when he was in, I said to him,"Well, now, Friday, shall we go to your nation?"
11239The poor man, with tears running down his face, and trembling, looking like one astonished, returned,"Am I talking to God or man?
11239Then I presently asked him, if there were any white mans, as he called them, in the boat?
11239Tom Smith answered immediately,"Is that Robinson?"
11239Upon this Will Atkins cried out,"For God''s sake, captain, give me quarter; what have I done?
11239Well, Friday, and what does your nation do with the men they take?
11239What have I done to be thus used?
11239What is your case?"
11239What marks were there of any other footsteps?
11239When this was past, the old man asked me if he should put me into a method to make my claim to my plantation?
11239Whence are we?
11239Whence is it produced?
11239Where are the ten?
11239Where are they?"
11239Where are you, Robin Crusoe?
11239Where are you?
11239Where are you?
11239Where do they carry them?
11239Where have you been?
11239Where was the vessel that brought them?
11239Why do n''t you shoot him?"
11239Why were not they saved, and you lost?
11239Why were you singled out?
11239You always fight the better; how came you to be taken prisoner then, Friday?
11239and how did I come here?
11239and what notice have I taken of it?
11239and where had I been?
11239and why I might not order myself and my business so, that I might be as able to go over thither as they were to come to me?
11239dost thou ask what thou hast done?
11239how far off the coast was, from whence they came?
11239how was it possible I could get on shore?
11239me no understand: but why not kill the devil now; not kill great ago?"
11239said I aloud,"what art thou good for?
11239said I:"Do you know where they are gone?"
11239said I:"would you turn wild again, eat men''s flesh again, and be a savage as you were before?"
11239says I,"what shall I do there?"
11239says he, repeating the words several times,"why send Friday home away to my nation?"
11239so I began to say, Can even God himself deliver me from this place?
11239what kind of boats they had?
11239what me done?"
11239what they ventured over so far from home for?
11239why I should not go, and he stay in the boat?
561But how can you expect that of them?
561But how,says he,"shall we obtain that of them?"
561But what must they do then, seignior?
561But, Will,said I,"how comes the sense of this matter to touch you just now?"
561But, my friend,added I,"will you give me leave to start one difficulty here?
561But,said I,"can you not take me up again on your return?"
561Come, Jack,says one of the men,"will you go with me?
561Lord, sir,says Will Atkins,"how should we teach them religion?
561Pray, sir,said he,"what do you think I consented to go in your ship to the East Indies for?"
561Say you so?
561Seignior,said I, in Portuguese,"do you not know me?"
561Speak out, my dear,said I;"are you willing I should go?"
561Well, Friday,says I,"do you think we shall find anybody here or no?
561Well, but Seignior Atkins,says the Spaniard,"what have we done to you that you will kill us?
561Well, well, Friday, you do n''t know; but shall we see any one else, then?
561Well,says I,"are not the materials of their buildings the products of their own country, and so it is all China ware, is it not?"
561What is the matter, Friday? 561 Why so, Friday?
561Why, father,says my partner,"should you desire our company so much?
561Why, sir,says he,"you do n''t want to be left there again, I hope?"
561--"But what can be done now?"
561--"If am of your mind,"said I;"but what must be done?"--"Done?"
561--"My heart glad,"says I;"what can that be?
561--"No,"said I;"but why did I never lay it to heart as well as you?"
561--"Oh,"says he,"you may perhaps be good Catholics in time; my business here is to convert heathens, and who knows but I may convert you too?"
561--"Past it, Atkins?"
561--"Say you so?"
561--"Very well, father,"said I,"so you will preach to us all the way?"
561--"Well,"said I,"and what is that to me?"
561--"Well,"said I,"you have been very kind in this: what shall I do to make you amends?"
561--"Well,"says I,"such a thing may be; how big is it?
561--"What do you mean by that?"
561--"What is that?"
561--"Why, sir,"says he,"do you know what you do, or what they have done?
561--"Why,"said I,"will it make you sorry?"
561--"Why,"says he,"you are no pirates; what need you fear?
561--"Will you give me leave to talk with these poor men about it?"
561And what must we do to prevent you killing us?
561Another of the brutes returned,"Do?
561Any one may guess what a surprise I was in at so insolent a message; and I asked the man who bade him deliver that message to me?
561As soon as I saw the place I called for Friday, and asked him if he knew where he was?
561But now the admiration was turned upon another question-- What could be the matter, and what made them come back again?
561Can He tell?
561Can we carry it in a box upon a camel?
561Can you give me no further light into it?"
561Could you make her understand what you meant by inheritance and families?
561Does he think he is able to sin beyond the power or reach of divine mercy?
561He no hear you curse, swear, speak de great damn?
561He turned short upon me, and asked me what I called a venture?
561How He bid you?
561How shall me know who makee me?
561I asked her why she did not go on, and say out what she was going to say?
561I paused a while at his words, and looking steadily at him,"What devil,"said I,"sent you on this unlucky errand?"
561I say, what was this gain to me?
561I suppose you do not think you are a match for them?"
561Is he easy that it is too late; or is he troubled, and wishes it were not so?"
561Must we kill you, or you kill us?
561No do good ting for Him?
561No say O to Him?
561One of the Englishmen returned very briskly,"What had they to do there?
561Otherwise, what are their buildings to the palaces and royal buildings of Europe?
561R.C.--But did you tell her what marriage was?
561R.C.--But tell us some of it: how did you begin, Will?
561R.C.--Well, what did she say to what you told her?
561Sure He no tell what you do?
561The Spaniard, pausing a while, says to him,"How do you mean-- you can not tell who?
561The next question was, what should be done with them?
561The old man said he knew the Gulf of Nankin very well; but smiling, asked us what we would do there?
561The whole world is in motion; why should we be idle?"
561Then the Englishmen asked the Spaniards if they designed to take any of them?
561W.A.--What, will my wicked life hinder you from believing in God?
561We asked him what made them come up to us?
561What are their cities to ours, for wealth, strength, gaiety of apparel, rich furniture, and infinite variety?
561What are their ports, supplied with a few junks and barks, to our navigation, our merchant fleets, our large and powerful navies?
561What can they have to say to me?"
561What have you to say to that?"
561What is all that?
561What is the matter?"
561What their trade to the universal commerce of England, Holland, France, and Spain?
561What then can any one say against being very sensible of the value of such a man, notwithstanding his profession?
561What way you know Him?
561What would you get by killing us?
561What you call dat?
561What you hear Him speak?
561What you hold up the hand for?
561What you say?
561When He bid you?
561When he said kings, we asked him how many kings?
561When the Spanish governor heard this, he calls to Will Atkins,"How, Seignior Atkins, would you murder us all?
561Who you speak to?
561Why He no makee you good live?
561Why will you put us to the necessity of this, Seignior Atkins?"
561Wife.--Bid you pray?
561Wife.--But how you makee me know that God teachee them to write that book?
561Wife.--But now He hear what you say?
561Wife.--But then do you not tell God thankee for that too?
561Wife.--But why God let you do so?
561Wife.--But you say me He is great, much great, have much great power; can makee kill when He will: why He no makee kill when you no serve Him?
561Wife.--Can He do that too?
561Wife.--How me tink you have great much God up there[ she points up to heaven], and yet no do well, no do good ting?
561Wife.--Me no understand that; where is book?
561Wife.--No laugh; why laugh me?
561Wife.--Well, and yet no kill, no makee you dead: what you say to Him for that?
561Wife.--What rule?
561Wife.--What say you O to Him for?
561Wife.--What you put down the knee for?
561Wife.--What, have you a great God in your country, you no know Him?
561Wife.--Where be then the much great power strong?
561Wife.--Why He no makee you much good better?
561Wife.--Why you no tell me long ago?
561Wife.--Why you say you God makee all?
561You no tell Him thankee for all that too?
561You shall be captain, I''ll be merchant, and we''ll go a trading voyage to China; for what should we stand still for?
561and do you think we shall see your father?"
561are you sure it is true?"
561are you troubled because you may see your father?"
561how do you know that?"
561no be good mans?
561no say O to Him?
561said I:"what dost thou mean by that?"
561said I;"what do you mean by that?"
561said I;"what do you mean by that?"
561says he;"what do you mean by that?
6422And how dost thou know that?
6422And wouldest thou,says he,"rather have money without fighting, or fighting without money?
6422But what, then, must be done with our wealth,said I,"the effects of plunder and rapine?
6422But,says William,"the men have done thee no injury at all; thou hast taken a great treasure from them; what canst thou pretend to hurt them for?"
6422For what advantage had it been to me,said he,"or what richer had I been, if I had a ton of gold dust, and lay and wallowed in it?
6422Friend Singleton,says he,"dost thee know what we are a- doing?"
6422Friend,says he, very calmly,"what dost thou mean?
6422Friend,says he,"what does yon ship follow us for?"
6422Hark thee,says William,"what wilt thou do with these Dutchmen that thou hast on board?
6422How can that be, William?
6422How do you know that?
6422How must I go thither?
6422How so?
6422How''s that?
6422I did,said William;"for how could I but think it strange,"said he,"to hear him talk of Englishmen on the north side of Japan?"
6422Much as one for that,says I;"why, what would you have us do?"
6422Nor any kindness for the country where thou wast born?
6422Truly, William,said I,"for aught I know, that may be true; what, then, shall we do next?"
6422Very well, then,says he,"if that be his country language, we must talk to him in the same, must we not?
6422Very well,says William;"but it seems there is some bearing a worse condition; and so you will shoot yourself, that you may be past remedy?"
6422Well, I know that too, William,said I,"but the captain is a man will be ruled by reason; what have you to say to it?"
6422Well, William,says I,"that is true; but what then shall we do with them?"
6422Well, and what will you be the better for that?
6422Well, but,says William, as if he had been between jest and earnest,"pray, what didst thou dream of last night?"
6422Well, then,said I,"where would you go?"
6422Well,said I,"what account did he give of it?"
6422Well,says William, immediately,"but art thou a Christian or a heathen, or what we call a renegado?"
6422Well,says William,"and suppose you do, what are you the better?"
6422Well,says William,"are you satisfied the next will be better?"
6422Well,says he,"and will he come up with us, dost thou think?"
6422What do you mean, William?
6422What do you mean?
6422What do you mean?
6422What do you sneer at now? 6422 Whence could they come?"
6422Whither must I go?
6422Why can we never reform?
6422Why then, friend William,said I,"what would you have us do?
6422Why, William,said I,"what was that?"
6422Why, William,said I,"why not?
6422Why, William,says I,"dost thou think we shall ever be able to reach Europe with all this cargo that we have about us?"
6422Why, hast thou no relations or friends there?
6422Why, have you no friend?
6422Why, then, friend,says the dry wretch,"why dost thou run from her still, when thou seest she will overtake thee?
6422Why, yes,says I,"William, pray why not?"
6422Why,said I,"do we talk of being killed by the Arabs, or made slaves of by the Turks?
6422Why,says I,"William, would you advise me to let them go?"
6422Why,says I,"did you ever know a pirate repent?"
6422Why,says I,"what will you do with it?"
6422Why,says William gravely,"I only ask what is thy business, and the business of all the people thou hast with thee?
6422Why,says William, looking a little confused,"art not thou an Englishman?"
6422Why,says William,"is there no way but to murder them?
6422Wilt thou give me leave,says William,"to talk plainly with thee upon thy present circumstances, and thy future prospect of living?
6422Wilt thou leave it all to me? 6422 ''Trade?'' 6422 Are we not able to board almost any vessel we shall meet with in those seas; and, instead of their taking us, we to take them?
6422Can they speak Dutch?
6422Canst thou swim?
6422D. And what would you do with me?
6422D. But what if the king gives you hostages for your safety?
6422D. But what shall I say to them?
6422D. How can I answer that?
6422D. How can you call me so?
6422D. How do I go about to betray you?
6422D. I can not say much as to that; but why do you ask me all these questions?
6422D. What good words?
6422D. What must I do, then?
6422D. What would you do with him?
6422D. Whom do you demand for hostages?
6422D. Will you not make me a prisoner?
6422D. Will you use me honourably when I am among you?
6422Do I not give you an account how the king invites you to come on shore, and has ordered you to be treated courteously and assisted?
6422Dost not thou know that we are out of fear of all thy army, and out of danger of all that they can do?
6422Dost thou say this freely?"
6422Extremely subtle is also this remark:"Why, says I, did you ever know a pirate repent?
6422How can I tell what he intends?
6422How canst thou be such a villain?
6422I asked him, in particular, what he thought we were when we first came up with them?
6422I carried on the jesting way a while farther, and said,"Prithee, do not talk of dying; how do we know we shall ever die?"
6422I mean which wouldest thou have by choice, suppose it to be left to thee?"
6422Is it not a barbarous thing in thee to do so?
6422Is it not to get money?"
6422Is it true, dost thou intend it?"
6422Let him go about his business, and carry his men out of gunshot, ca n''t he?"
6422Now, dost thou not think there are some men- of- war in the port?
6422On September 16, 1660, the captain and his son were placed in a town called Bonder Coswat, in the country of Hotcurly[?
6422On Thursday, at noon, they crossed the river Coronda[?
6422Pray let me ask you another question: Are you in any likelihood of getting your ship off, if you refuse it?
6422Pray, do any of them understand what thou and I say?
6422Pray, what gain is in it?
6422Prithee, what dost thou mean?
6422Says I,"Yes; why, we are chasing yon ship, are we not?"
6422The gunner, who had more forecast of that kind than I had, agreed to the proposal, and added, why might we not try to catch some fish out of the lake?
6422They are poor naked wretches; what shall you gain by them?
6422Thou art a Dutchman, and a Christian, thou sayest; pray, art thou a freeman or a servant?
6422W. And what if they were all here just now?
6422W. As thou art a Christian, though I doubt it much, dost thou believe the king or the general, as thou callest it, means one word of what he says?
6422W. But art thou a volunteer, or a prisoner?
6422W. Do with thee?
6422W. Has he any ships?
6422W. I do n''t ask thee what he promises, or by whom; but I ask thee this: Canst thou say that thou believest he intends to perform it?
6422W. Nay, hold, friend; I did not say we would come to him then: you talked of making him a present, that is to pay our respects to him, is it not?
6422W. Nor boats?
6422W. Well, and are all those men come to invite us ashore?
6422W. Well, and what dost thou think they can do to us, if we will not?
6422W. Well, and why dost thou not get a license to go away?
6422W. What occasion have we to value that?
6422W. Who will he be in a great rage at?
6422W. Whom can he give but mere slaves and servants like thyself, whose lives he no more values than we an English hound?
6422W. Why, what then do you think we care for his men?
6422We asked him how he came to be so entirely abandoned of all concern for his safety?
6422Well, friend, what dost thou say to us now?
6422What canst thou do now to us, if thou hadst a hundred thousand with thee?
6422What dost thou suppose they could do to us?
6422What have I done to you, and what would you have me do?
6422What if they had told?
6422What makes thee act so simply as well as so knavishly?
6422What shall I do?
6422Why dost thou not visit thy neighbour in the ship, the door being open for thee?"
6422Why should I desire to keep you from your relations, purely to keep me company?"
6422Will it be better for us to be overtaken farther off than here?"
6422Will you go with me?"
6422and what account can you give the captain for his lost men?"
6422and wilt thou promise, on thy word, to take nothing ill of me?"
6422dost thou pretend to come of a mild errand with all these people at thy back, and all the foolish weapons of war they bring with them?
6422or else how shall he understand us?"
6422said he;"nay, what didst thou mean, to cry out aloud in thy sleep,''I am a thief, a pirate, a murderer, and ought to be hanged''?
6422says I,"you mean death, I warrant you: do n''t you?
6422says I;"pray what are we the wiser for all their jabbering?"
6422says I;"what signifies thinking of it?
6422says William;"what have we to do with him?
6422says William;"why, what will that do for you?"
6422says he;"no acquaintance-- none that thou hast any kindness or any remains of respect for?"
6422says the captain;"has he any business upon, deck?"
14444''And did your husband like that you did so?''
14444''And was he pleased with it when he came home?
14444''And what answer did he make?''
14444''And what said you to him?''
14444''Are you broke?''
14444''But what does that signify now, child?''
14444''God forbid,''says the honest man;''what do you mean by that?''
14444''Well,''said I,''and you think yourself very happy in all this, do n''t you?
14444''Well,''says the father,''do you think you could carry on the trade?''
14444''What signifies going to such a shop?''
14444''What signify the accounts to me?''
14444''Why, Madam,''says the citizen,''did the man of the shop use your ladyship ill?''
14444''Why, what can you do, child?''
14444''Why,''says a lady to one of these emissaries,''what was the matter?
14444''Why,''says the widow,''I used to ask him if he thought I could carry it on for them, if such a thing should happen?''
14444A.--What do you mean by that?
14444Among these rules this was one of the chief-- namely,''that they should not we d before they had sped?''
14444And by whom have the prodigious taxes been paid, the loans supplied, and money advanced upon all occasions?
14444And how must we prevent the mischief to conscience and principle which lay so heavy upon the whole nation before?
14444And how shall he bear the breach in his stock which that separation would make?
14444And how was it done?
14444And what is the end of this but inevitable decay, and at last poverty and ruin?
14444And what was the consequence?
14444And who, if they must have a partner, would have one that was concerned in separate business, in which the partnership was not engaged?
14444Are these encouragements to tradesmen to be negligent and careless of the event of things?
14444B.--I take it, indeed, for a due caution to me, sir; but the man may be a good man for all that, only-- A.--Only what?
14444But the main question for a tradesman in this case, and which I have not spoken of yet, is,''What is the man to do to preserve his credit?
14444But what is the difference in the consequences?
14444But what relief is this to him?
14444But where in trade is there any business entirely free from these frauds?
14444But why are you so concerned about it, Madam?
14444By whom are the banks and companies carried on?--and on whom are the customs and excises levied?
14444Cit.--And he has not disobliged you at all, has he?
14444Cit.--And what could you say, then?
14444Cit.--But did your ladyship try him as you said you would?
14444Cit.--But had no other proof of it, Madam, than her relation?
14444Cit.--Did you oblige him to do so?
14444Cit.--Did your ladyship see any thing that pleased you?
14444Cit.--How does your ladyship know he does so then?
14444Cit.--Is he well stocked with goods?
14444Cit.--Sure, Madam, the lady was strangely used; did she tell any of the particulars?
14444Cit.--Was it the lady that told you so herself, Madam?
14444Cit.--Well; but, Madam, perhaps it may be a mistake-- and the lady that told you was not the person neither?
14444Cit.--What did he say to that?
14444Cit.--Why, Madam, how does your ladyship find him?
14444Come, let''s see, what can you do?
14444Could I doubt but that you could afford it very well?
14444Did ever a man build himself a house on purpose to have it burnt down?
14444Did ever tradesman set up on purpose to break?
14444Did he not refuse her, then?
14444Did you do it to his mind?''
14444Do I give them one shilling of lawful money of England?
14444Do I not put a cheat upon them, and act against justice and mutual agreement?
14444Do I pay them what I bargained for?
14444Do you think I would live as I do, if I thought your income would not bear it?
14444Have not the trade and tradesmen born the burden of the war?--and do they not still pay four millions a- year interest for the public debts?
14444He grew angry then, and asked me if I laughed at him, and if I thought to laugh him out of his money?
14444How does he pay his bills?''
14444Husb.--And what must I do?
14444Husb.--And what will all your friends and acquaintance, and the world, say to it?
14444Husb.--And why did he not let her have some notice of it?
14444Husb.--How could I mention so unkind a thing to you?
14444Husb.--What could I do?
14444Husb.--What steps could you think of, if that were the case?
14444Husb.--What will you do to prevent it?
14444Husb.--Why should I trouble you with it?
14444I am asked here, perhaps, how much pleasure an honest- meaning tradesman may be allowed to take?
14444I might take them all in bulk, and say, what has a young tradesman to do with these?
14444I then asked him, if he really did expect I should swear that I would pay him the next week, as I proposed to promise?
14444If I am the person inquired of, what must I do?
14444If I cheapen any thing at a shop, suppose it the least toy or trifle, I ask them,''What must you have for it?''
14444If it be thus of every poor man''s clothing, or of a servant, what must it be of the master, and of the rest of the family?
14444If there is but twenty shillings over in the money, the question is,''How came it there?''
14444Is not trade the inexhausted fund of all funds, and upon which all the rest depend?
14444Lady.--And how did he treat you?
14444Lady.--How, pray?
14444Lady.--Is that possible?
14444Lady.--No, I am not for teazing them any more; but shall we really go away, and buy nothing?
14444Lady.--Well, but what shall we do now?
14444Lady.--Well; but pray, Madam, what was the reason, if we may be so free, that she turned him off after she had entertained him so long?
14444Lady.--What then, pray?
14444Lady.--Why did she entertain him so long, then?
14444Lady.--Why, are not his circumstances good, then?
14444Madam, how could she know, poor lady, till her friends inquired into things?
14444Now, far from being pleased that I have more money by me than I should have, my inquiry is plain,''How comes this to pass?''
14444Now, what is to be done for this unhappy family?
14444Now, what is to be said for this?
14444On whom are the funds levied, and by whom the public credit supported?
14444Pleasures rob the tradesman, and how, then, can he call them innocent diversions?
14444Pray, how long has this young gentleman to serve?
14444That, if they had been out, he should ask them where they had been, and in what company?
14444The shopkeeper answers-- so much; suppose it were a shilling, what is the English but this-- one shilling of lawful money of England?
14444The thing she is to inquire is, what she must do if Mr----, the glover, or cutler, should die?
14444The tradesmen having, then, trusted the landed men with so much, where must they have it but by giving credit also to one another?
14444Thus the tradesman places his confidence in the thief, and how should he avoid being robbed?
14444Was that his kindness to her?
14444What can be a closer stroke at the poor tradesman?
14444What could I do?
14444What is at the bottom of it?--why wo n''t you tell me?--what have I done, that I am not to be trusted with a thing that so nearly concerns me?
14444What is the shop without the master?
14444What must be done in this case?
14444What must he do?
14444What retail trade would a milliner have among the fishmongers''shops on Fishstreet- hill, or a toyman about Queen- hithe?
14444What rumour can sit closer to a man in business-- his own personal misfortunes excepted-- than such as this- that his partner is broke?
14444What shall the tradesman do in such a case?
14444What shall we say now to this ill- timed devotion, and who must tempt the poor man to this neglect?
14444What was the consequence?
14444What, then, must be done?
14444Who, then, would run the venture of a partner, if it were possible to avoid it?
14444Why must not I know it?
14444Wife.--But was not he a barbarous wretch to her, to let her know nothing of her circumstances?
14444Wife.--Do you think she would have done so, if she had known any thing of his circumstances?
14444Wife.--How is that, pray?
14444Wife.--I will know what is the matter Husb.--I tell you nothing is the matter-- what should be the matter?
14444Wife.--Then you will not trust your wife with knowing what touches you so sensibly?
14444Wife.--Was that your grief?--and would you never be so kind to your wife as to let her know it?
14444Wife.--Well, but how do you know that?
14444Will any man in his wits fail in his trade, break his credit, and shut up his shop, for these prospects?
14444adds the father;''you see it is so; and how can it be helped?''
14444after the Exchequer had been shut up, parliamentary appropriations misapplied, and, in a word, the public faith broken; who would lend?
14444and how shall we speak of them, when we see them so universally made use of?
14444and what is it he is to do?
14444and where is the servant that would comply with it?
14444and yet where is there a tradesman now to be found, who is not more or less guilty?
14444are you going to break?
14444but what?
14444do you know the man that keeps the shop?
14444fifty pounds on the credit of his word or bond, after the shutting up the Exchequer?
14444how long is it before his time will be out?''
14444is Mr-- dead?
14444made that severe pun, that''Three- fourths of the city were broke?''
14444or are they as well pleased with him, as they would be, if you were there yourself?''
14444so here, if you would be able to judge of the man, your first question is,''What for a paymaster is he?
14444that is to say, in English,''Are you able to keep a wife when you have got her?''
14444what have I to do to contradict him?
14444what the books without the book- keeper?
14444what the credit without the man?
14444whether she can carry on the trade afterwards, or whether she can live without it?
11866And what would you do there, Friday? 11866 And where,"said I,"do the people of your country go when they die?"
11866And will you deliver one message from me to them?
11866Are you certain of this?
11866Fridaysaid I"you may as well ask me why God does not kill you and me, when, by our wicked actions, we so much offend his divine Majesty?
11866Friday,I said,"who is it that made the sea, this ground whereon we walk, and all the hills and woods which we behold?"
11866How, Signor, said I, do you hear what is alledged against you? 11866 Prithee, Will Atkins,"said I,"what education have you?
11866Siranswered I,"will you take the same resolution?"
11866Supposing I do n''t, Xury,said I,"and in the morning we should see men who are worse than those we fear, what then?"
11866The Englishmen inquired how long it was since they had a feast of that kind? 11866 What, and those people that are eaten up, do they go there?"
11866What,said I,( as though ignorant of what had happened)"did they kill the Captain?"
11866Why, Seignor,( said I), what shall be done in this case?
11866Will you,said I"go back again, Friday?"
11866& what signs of any other footsteps?
11866''And do you think they will eat them Friday?''
11866''And what do they intend to do there?''
11866''Are your enemies gone?''
11866''But what must I kill you for?
11866''Friday,''said I,''what do you think, shall we go to see your father?''
11866''Friday,''said I,''what is it you mean?
11866''Have they fire arms?''
11866''Supposing, said I, I should make a proposal, and invite them here, would they not carry me prisoner to New Spain?''
11866''Tis very well, Friday; but what does your nation do with the prisoners they take?
11866''Well Friday,''said I,''what do you think of it now?
11866''What''said I,''Friday, did you go thither to speak to him too?''
11866''You do n''t know that,''said I,''but shall we see anybody else?''
11866--"And do you"cried I,"call such a violent storm a capful of wind?"
11866--Weigh, said he, what is the meaning of this hurry?
11866After this I called Friday to me, and asked him if he had given his father any bread?
11866Am I wanted there?
11866And as the children of Israel said, when they were promised flesh to eat, Can God spread a table in the wilderness?
11866And can he do that too?
11866And have you been with them here, Friday?
11866And here I fixed my firm belief that it was his will that it should be so; and then proceeded to enquire, why should God deal with me in this manner?
11866And now I made Friday inquire of his father, whether he thought these savages had escaped the late storm in their canoe?
11866And when I asked him what became of them all, and whether they lived or not?
11866And when I asked whether he was in earnest?
11866And will he hear what you say?
11866And would you venture here without considering what strength you have to engage them?
11866Are all my family well?
11866Are you of human kind or an angel?
11866As soon as we came on board, my partner calls joyfully out, That they had stopped the leak?
11866Ask thyself, why thou wert not long ago in the merciless hands of death?
11866At first the innocent creature did not understand what I meant, but rather thought I asked him who was his father?
11866At last, said I,"Friday, what makes you ponder so much?"
11866Atkins, said I, what do you mean?
11866But how far will the ardency of desire prompt us on?
11866But if he is much great, can makee kill, why no makee kill when no serve him?
11866But pray what are you, and on what account did you go to sea?"
11866But then this objection reasonably interposed: how can I effect this, thought I, without I attack a whole company of them, and kill them all?
11866But then thought I, how shall I manage myself when I come thither?
11866But to wave this discourse of Heathens, how many self- contradicting principles are there held among Christians?
11866But what does all human pains and industry avail, if the blessing of God does not crown our labours?
11866But what have we done to you, Seignor Atkins, said I, or what will you gain by killing us?
11866But what is that Power?
11866But where were my labours to end?
11866But, Lord, Sir, said Will Atkins to me how could we teach them religion, who know nothing of it ourselves?
11866But, Will, how comes the sense of this matter to touch you just now?
11866But, said I, with what conscience can you call these your wives, by whom you have so many children, and yet are not lawfully married?
11866Can you fight Friday?
11866Did not you tell God thanked for that?
11866Do they bring them hither?
11866Do they carry them away and eat them as these have done?
11866Do you think this will carry us over?
11866Does he think he is beyond the power of Divine mercy?
11866For otherwise how could any mortal come to this island?
11866For what hold up hand?
11866Friday,"said I,"what shall I do there?"
11866From whence came myself, and all other creatures living, and of what are they made?
11866Happy, thrice happy desert, said I, shall I never see thee more?
11866Hark ye, says he to his friend, is all well at London?
11866He answered, Who''s that?
11866He replied in a very soft and moving tone, What has poor Friday done?
11866Hereupon Atkins cries out, What have I done Captain, more than the rest, who have been as bad as me?
11866Hereupon, I asked them, where there new family was?
11866How came it to pass that they did not kill and eat them, to please their devouring appetites, and occasion to splendid an entertainment among them?"
11866How can be sweeten the bitterest providences, and give us reason to magnify him in dungeons and prisons?
11866How can me tink your God lives there?
11866How can we talk to our wives of God, Jesus Christ, heaven, and hell?
11866How mercifully can the omnipotent Power comfort his creatures, even in the midst of their greatest calamities?
11866How say you, beat?
11866I am no interloper, and what business have they with me?"
11866I asked him the meaning of all these fortifications?
11866I asked him whether that nation to which he belonged, ever conquered in battle?
11866I asked him why he would go and not I?
11866I asked myself, what regard have I had to God for his abundant mercies?
11866I then asked the Captain, which way he thought best for us to manage the battle?
11866I went to bed again, but it was all one, I could not sleep; when one of my Spaniards, hearing me walk about, asked who it was up?
11866If any man ask me, Why our differences can not be ended on earth?
11866Immediately I gave him a dram; and a piece of bread to cherish him, and asked him, What countryman he was?
11866In two canoes, thought I, what does my man mean?
11866In what manner is the production of the earth and sea, of which I have seen so much?
11866Is there not God to converse to, and is not he able to relieve thee?
11866It is certainly a very great and noble inquiry, What we shall be after this life?
11866It might be a question, why there are such differences in religious points, and why these breaches should be more hot and irreconcileable?
11866It was some time before he could speak a word, which made me ask him, what was the matter with him?
11866Look on your past life, and see what you have left undone?
11866Mercy I what you call mercy?
11866Must we kill you, or you kill us?
11866No be good mans, no cry O to him?
11866No do good ting?
11866No say O to him?
11866No sooner did I see the place, but calling for Friday, I asked him where he was?
11866Nor is there a less useful question to start, namely, Where will our unhappy religious differences end?
11866Now tell me if you will do the like by me, and, obey my orders in whatsoever I command?''
11866O master, we save white mans from drown; upon which I immediately asked him, If there were any white mans, as he called them in the boat?
11866O where dat good book?
11866One time our leader, for the day, gave us leave to go a hunting; but what do you think we hunted?
11866One time, as I very well remember, I asked him who made him?
11866Or did you ask me to go with you on any particular account?
11866Or who can stand before the Almighty, when he stretcheth forth his arm?
11866Pray tell a mee, did God, teachee them write that book?
11866Seignor, said I, in Portuguese, do n''t you know me?
11866Shall we have quarter then?
11866Surely, thought I, these words are directed to me, or else why should they appear just at a moment when I am bemoaning my forlorn condition?
11866The Englishmen then asked my Spaniards,''whether they designed to take any of them?
11866The trial of honesty is this: Did you ever want bread, and had your neighbour''s loaf in keeping, and would starve rather than eat it?
11866Then why did not your men recover you from the hands of your enemies?
11866There is another question, pertinent to the former, and that is, What remedy can we apply to this malady?
11866This question I put fairly to Atkins, who replied in a passion, How can I be easy in a state which I know must terminate in my ruin?
11866To answer the last question, Why people are not equally supplied?
11866To what place do they carry them to be devoured?
11866Well, and what did she say to all this?
11866Well, and yet no makee you dead; and you give him no tankee neither?
11866Were you ever arrested, having in your custody another man''s cash, and would rather go to gaol, than break it?
11866What I do you hear him speak?
11866What can you say to justify so horrid an action, as to murder us in cold blood?
11866What devil or spirit, said I, sent you with this unlucky errand?
11866What me done, O what me done?
11866What must I do with this?''
11866What say you?
11866What shall we do to prevent you?
11866What was all the rest to me?
11866What was your father?"
11866What way, what rule you know him?
11866What will you do there?
11866What you put down knee for?
11866What''s the matter with you?
11866What, did you kill him with your hands?
11866What, not know great God in own nation?
11866What, said the gentleman, is there any occasion for me?
11866When did he bid you pray?
11866Where are the Englishmen?
11866Where are you, Robinson Crusoe?
11866Where are you?
11866Where have you been?
11866Where then makee power strong, when he hears you curse, swear de great damn?
11866Who can conceive the present anguish of my mind at this calamity?
11866Who is their so ignorant as not to judge of my dreadful condition?
11866Who must we surrender to?
11866Who you speak to?
11866Why God suffer them?
11866Why did I murmur at my lonesome condition, when now I would give the whole world to be thither again?
11866Why not drowned in Yarmouth roads, or killed in the fight, when the ship was taken by the Sallee man of war?
11866Why not listen to it as to a voice?
11866Why will you Seignor Atkins, said I, smiling, put us to such an unhappy dilemma, such a fatal necessity?
11866Why you no tell me much long ago?
11866Why, says he what occasion is there for peaceable merchants to fear?
11866Why, were you singled out to be saved and the rest destroyed?
11866Why, you say, he makee you, why makee you no much better then?
11866Yes, yes, said he, the boat full, very full of white mans"How many, Friday?"
11866You fool, said I, what do you mean?
11866You no angry, no angry, said he several times, if you be no angry, why den send Friday over great water to my own nation?
11866You tell me marriage God appoint, have you God in your country?
11866and if God does not forsake, what matters it, since he can me more happy in this state of life, than if I enjoyed the greatest splendour in the world?
11866and if so, whether they would not return with a power too great for us to resist?
11866and supposing I should not fall into their power, what shall I do for provisions, or which way shall I bend my course?
11866how came you here?
11866how dare you ask what you have done?
11866if your nation beat them, how came you to be taken?
11866in like manner I began to say, Can God himself deliver me from this desolate island?
11866must my wicked life hinder you from believing in him?
11866or how can such proud, conceited and cruel bigots, prescribe rules to the justice and mercy of God?
11866or how shall I escape from them if they make an attempt upon me?
11866or what comfort is there of the life he lives?
11866said I,"what danger?
11866said he,"sure you was not frightened last night with scarce a capful of wind?"
11866simple vanity said I whom this world so much dotes on, where is now thy virtue, thy excellency to me?
11866what will become of me if I fall into the hands of the savages?
11866where have you been?
11866where was the ship that transported them?
11866why are you angry mad with poor servant?
11866why makee not live well?
11866why should I proceed on such a desperate attempt, which my scruples before had suggested to be unlawful?
11866why would you have them to eat me up, and devour your kind master?"
11866wither am I going?
30344And did I not,said I,"offer myself to go with you to the East Indies?"
30344And hast thou never seen her?
30344And pray what came of her at last?
30344And what is the condition?
30344And would you have me say so, Amy?
30344And,says he,"that it will require as many thousands to set him up?"
30344As how, my lord, pray will you let me know?
30344As to that, madam,says Amy,"I do n''t see anything of it yet neither; but what should move a gentleman to take pity of us as he does?"
30344Ay, but,says the girl,"I am sure you are my mother too; and what have I done that you wo n''t own me, and that you will not be called my mother?
30344Ay, so it was, Amy, indeed,says he;"but what can a stranger do that has neither money or friends?"
30344Ay,said I,"do you threaten already?
30344Besides,added she,"thou art in the right to say so to me, for why should I be trusted with it?
30344But as to the death of your husband, madam, what can be said to that?
30344But hast thou no way out backward to go to her?
30344But her woman, her favourite,adds the girl;"is not her name Amy?"
30344But what course can I take to do that,says I,"now they have got notice that I have them?
30344But,says he,"I can not leave you; have you not a spare lodging for one night?"
30344Come to, madam?
30344Dear madam,says she,"what does this gentleman mean?"
30344Dear madam,says she,"what is the matter?
30344Did you indeed?
30344Does she believe so?
30344Does she?
30344Dost thou not see I am turned Quaker? 30344 Dost thou understand Dutch?"
30344Go, you fool,says I,"ca n''t you?
30344Have not I a husband and you a wife?
30344Have you not a wife at Paris?
30344He that brought up your brother?
30344How can I confess what I know nothing of?
30344How do you mean too late?
30344How little time, Mrs Amy?
30344How old is your daughter?
30344Hussy,said I, in the greatest passion imaginable,"how dare you mention the word murder?
30344I am astonished at thee: what dost thou mean?
30344I am fully satisfied of that,says the merchant;"but as this is a rogue who will stick at nothing, what can we say?
30344I think you said the king was there, sister, did n''t you?
30344Indeed,said my lord,"it is my opinion that Thomas is one of your sons; do not you think the same?"
30344Is the prince alive or dead, Amy?
30344Let him try, ca n''t you?
30344Look there, madam,said he;"is it fit that that face"( pointing to my figure in the glass)"should go back to Poictou?
30344Madam,said he,"what would you have me do?"
30344Madam,says he,"I am glad for his sake to hear you talk so; but do you know that a Turkey merchant will not take him under £ 400 or £ 500?"
30344My dear,said I,"the fall of the candle put you out of your history, wo n''t you go on with it?"
30344My dear,says he aloud,"what mean these tears?"
30344My lord,said I,"supposing all that has been said by this girl was truth, what reason have you to be in this unforgiving humour?
30344Nay, Amy,said I,"he means to do us good, you see, do n''t he?
30344Nay, do n''t say no, you fool; did not I promise to put you to bed to him?
30344Nay,said I,"what can they say to it?
30344No, no, you are mistaken, Amy, I dare say,said I;"you have heard what he said, did n''t you?"
30344No, not I,says he; but turns to Amy,"Is it so, Amy?"
30344Now his anger begins to work, Amy,said I,"how must I act?"
30344Now, sir,said my lord to the planter,"what do you say to a match between this young gentleman and your daughter?
30344Now, which of the two shall I take, Amy?
30344Oh,says he,"madam, do you think you can frighten me?
30344Pray, madam,says I,"what are these troopers here?
30344Pray, madam,says he,"do you know this young woman?
30344Pray, my dear,said I,"did you ask where he ever lived, or what his name is?"
30344Pray, what is the matter?
30344Pray,said I,"what may have become of the old beast that could be the ruin of those young creatures?"
30344Prithee, what need they cry at our door?
30344Shall I be a lady-- that is, a baronet''s lady in England, or a countess in Holland?
30344Should you have believed so?
30344Sir,says I to the Dutch merchant,"what is all this discourse to my business?
30344Sir,says she,"do n''t you know me?"
30344Then, madam,says he,"I suppose your honour has no children?"
30344Thou troublest me very much to hear thee say so,says the Quaker;"but why, then, didst thou not speak to her apart when thou wast here before?"
30344Was that her good luck?
30344Well, Amy,says he then( having a little recovered himself),"how does everybody do?
30344Well, and am not I a whore as well as you?
30344Well, and what answer are you to give to me?
30344Well, and what then?
30344Well, but if she be thy mother,says the Quaker,"how can it be that she should not know thee?"
30344Well, but, my dear,says I,"you make me more uneasy now than before; for if you apprehend no danger, why do you use this caution?
30344Well, madam,says Amy,"what can I do for them?
30344Well, madam,says he,"I will thank you for the boy, as well as for myself; but will you please to tell me what I must do with him?"
30344Well, my dear,says I,"and how shall I make you easy?"
30344Well, well, sir,says I,"can you put this out for me now?"
30344Well,said I,"but that was not your lady''s name, I suppose?"
30344Well,said my husband,"what can you say of your mother''s second child, who, I hear, was a son?"
30344Well,says I,"Amy, as soon as you will; but what course must we take to do it?
30344Well,says he,"have you any more questions to ask?
30344What ails the slut to talk so?
30344What can it concern me so much as to put this gentleman into such agonies, and what makes him give me such devil''s looks as he does? 30344 What d''ye mean by that, hussy?"
30344What d''ye mean by that?
30344What do ye mean, to call it by such a name?
30344What do you mean by that?
30344What does that amount to? 30344 What dost thee mean?"
30344What dost thou mean?
30344What history?
30344What makes you talk so? 30344 What need you,"says I,"send me out of your way?
30344What shall I do, Amy?
30344What would you advise me to?
30344What''s the matter?
30344What, is the devil in you, Amy?
30344What, then, must I do?
30344What,says the captain''s wife,"the Lady Roxana that you told me of?
30344Where are they, madam?
30344Why not both of them? 30344 Why so?"
30344Why so?
30344Why, all that''s true, madam,says Amy;"but how can it be remedied now?"
30344Why, child,says she,"why would you have me be your mother?
30344Why, did not he bring you up too as well as your brother? 30344 Why, madam,"says she,"is not the storm over?"
30344Why, then,said I,"do you go away from me?"
30344Why, what dost thou talk of?
30344Why, you fool you,says I,"do n''t I tell you I''ll put you to bed to him myself?"
30344Why, you would not be so impudent, you jade you,says I,"would you?"
30344Why?
30344Why?
30344Will she?
30344Wo n''t you?
30344Yes,said he,"I have; and what then?"
30344Yes,says he,"''tis Mrs. Amy; but how do I know what Amy is?
30344Amy came to me when they were all gone;"Law, madam,"says Amy, with a long gaping cry,"what shall I do with all this money?"
30344Amy owned she was surprised, and came back too, and called to her, upon which the girl stopped, and Amy coming up to her, asked her what she meant?
30344Amy replied, somewhat rough and short, Would I not?
30344Amy said,"What''s all this story?
30344Amy smiled, and asked her what was the matter?
30344And as for acquaintance, prithee, Amy, what sober lady or what family of any character will visit or be acquainted with a whore?"
30344And if thou art lost for ever, what must I be?
30344And was ever woman so stupid to choose to be a whore, where she might have been an honest wife?
30344And what was the woman that brought them?
30344And who knows what he may swear?
30344Are not we almost starved to death?"
30344Are they the king''s guards?"
30344Are you sure you han''t got a bite, and that you have not made a beggar a lady?"
30344But he shook his head, and said, where had I lived?
30344But he started, as I say above, and asked in English, with an admiration,"What are you?"
30344But now was my case as bad as before, for when I came to him what could I do?
30344But why shouldst thou follow me for her, since thou know''st that I assured thee more than once that I knew not where she was?
30344But why that blush, my dear?"
30344Can a woman deny such a man anything?"
30344Can you object anything against it?
30344Can you think that if I was your mother, I would not tell you so?
30344Could you hear these poor innocent children cry at your door for hunger, and give them no bread?"
30344Did not I drag your clothes off your back, and put you to bed to him?"
30344Did you ever find me in any company that you did not approve of?
30344Do n''t you know what a wicked creature I have been?
30344Do not you know that I had children of my own by a former wife?
30344Do you know anything of this?
30344Do you really think, as you knew all of them from infants, that this young woman is your lady''s daughter?"
30344Does not Mrs.---- live there?''
30344For where is the man that cares to marry a whore, though of his own making?
30344For, after all, how did I know what his circumstances were?
30344Had not I a hand in the frolic of putting her to bed to you?
30344Has he not brought you out of the devil''s clutches, brought you out of the blackest misery that ever poor lady was reduced to?
30344Has she not a maid named Amy?"
30344Have we not children of our own?
30344Have you any reason to think that I have wasted any of your substance?
30344Have you found any fault with me since I had the happiness of being married to you?
30344He came to me, and taking me in his arms and kissing me a thousand times almost, said, why would I be so unkind not to tell him that before?
30344He inquired how many days we intended to be on the journey?
30344His wife fell a- raving at him:"What,"says she,"do you want to have four children to keep?
30344How can it be honest?"
30344How could it be otherwise, when you know what a condition I was in before, despised and trampled on by all the world?
30344How could it be otherwise?
30344However, Amy going up to undress her, I soon made an excuse to follow her, and coming into the room,"What the d-- l is the matter, Amy?"
30344I must go down again to him; what shall I say to him?"
30344I started at that word,"What mean you by that, sir?"
30344I suppose,"says Amy,"you know where to find her?"
30344If any gentleman should ask me what I have taken to my bed, what must I answer?
30344In short, have you inquired whether you are able to keep her?
30344Made her away?
30344Must I depend upon your promise?
30344Poor lambs, what is become of them?''
30344Pray what d''ye mean by that?"
30344Pray what portion have you had with her?
30344Pray where do you lodge?"
30344Pray who brought you up, then?"
30344Pray will they get to London this tide?"
30344Pray, what became of her?"
30344Pray, who do you make your universal heir?"
30344Roxana, was it not?
30344Shall I be fire in his flax?
30344Shall my wickedness blast his comforts?
30344So I returned,"Why, do not you Quakers wear fine linen neither?"
30344Sure, she ha''n''t made her away?"
30344The Quaker put in,"But I think thou saidst something was behind of thy mistress; what didst thou call her?
30344Then you know my business too?
30344Thought I,"Are you satisfied of it?
30344Was ever woman angry with any gentleman on that head?
30344Was she married, pray?"
30344What am I a whore for now?"
30344What can this be?"
30344What could I do?
30344What could I say to this gentleman when he pressed me to yield to him, and argued the lawfulness of it?
30344What did she do afterwards?
30344What did they do after I was gone?
30344What fortune he had with his wife?
30344What hast thou been that I have not been?
30344What have I done to you to deserve this usage?
30344What is this gentleman in all these passions about?
30344What makes you look so pale?
30344What occasion had he, in his repentance, to be off of taking a good wife?
30344What was to be done now?
30344What whimsey is this that possesses your mind?"
30344When Amy came to me,"Now, my lady,"says she,"what do you think of this morning''s work?
30344When Amy had brought her to again a little, and she had recovered her first disorder, Amy asked what ailed her?
30344When he was gone,"Well, Amy,"says I,"what will all this come to now?
30344Where must they have lain?
30344Which of them?"
30344Who could this lady be?
30344Who now could have believed the devil had any snare at the bottom of all this?
30344Who will marry her in the poor condition she is in?"
30344Why, did she believe I was alive, then?
30344Why, then, dost thou come after me thus far?
30344Why, would you have taken me for an actress, or a French stage- player?"
30344Why, you an''t well; what is the matter?"
30344Will you propose liberty at the expense of modesty?"
30344Will''st thou be owned where thou hast no relation?
30344Would you have me think you sincere?"
30344Would you have these brats come and eat up my children''s bread?
30344[ Illustration: ROXANA IS CONFRONTED WITH HER DAUGHTER"Pray, madam,"says he,"do you know this young woman?"]
30344a''nt you with child yet?"
30344am I, that brought you so handsome a fortune, to be under the curb of my son, and ask him for every penny I want?
30344and be a means to provoke heaven to curse his blessings?
30344and if you apprehend there is danger, why do you go at all?"
30344and what dreadful families had I lived among, that had frighted me into such terrible apprehensions of things?
30344and where does her estate lie, that you keep her so fine?
30344are you really gone to bed?"
30344consent to lie with him for bread?
30344have you been concerned in this affair, then?
30344have you been making your will and disposing of your effects?
30344have you helped bring this family slur upon us?"
30344how came you to be here, then?"
30344how long I had been in England?
30344is your mistress here?"
30344or that I was in any danger on such an occasion, so remote and out of the way as this was?
30344pray who was she?
30344said I, as soon as I could speak,"and what will become of me?"
30344said I;"why, she was at court, was n''t she?
30344said I;''what d''ye mean?
30344said he,"what do you mean by that?
30344says Amy,"what have you been doing?
30344says Amy;"what do you mean by that?"
30344says I;"and when will my uneasiness have an end?"
30344says I;"do you think, then, that I am crazed?
30344says I;"pray, what do you mean?
30344says she;"why, are you not as rich as Croesus?"
30344says the Quaker;"wilt thou explain thyself a little to me?"
30344to hear other gentlemen talk sense, and he able to say nothing?
30344what art thou that I am not?
30344what could I do?
30344what fortune has she been to you?
30344what must be my portion?"
30344what will become of me?
30344where I had lived?
30344whether married or single?
30344will you take four children to keep?"
30344with all her children?
12623And where, Sir,said I,"is your belief of my being preserved here on purpose to save your life, which elevated you a little while ago?
12623Are you ready, Friday?
12623But, Will,said I,"how comes the sense of this matter to touch you just now?"
12623But, my friend,said I,"will you give me liberty to start one difficulty here?
12623But, my lord,said I,"shall I take the liberty to ask you a question?"
12623But,said I to him,"you say the pirate is gone out of these seas; how can they meet with him then?"
12623But,said I,"Friday, we must resolve to fight them: can you fight, Friday?"
12623Come, Jack,says one of the men,"will you go with me?
12623For what, Xury?
12623Have they any fire- arms?
12623If it very nearly concerns me,said I,"and not yourself, what moves you to tell it me?"
12623If the door of your liberty was opened,said I,"would not you take hold of it to deliver yourself from this exile?"
12623Look you, Sir,said I,"if I venture upon your deliverance, are you willing to make two conditions with me?"
12623Pray, Sir,said he,"what do you think I consented to go in your ship to the East Indies for?"
12623Say you so?
12623Seignior,said I, in Portuguese,"do you not know me?"
12623So you kill them?
12623That''s true, Sir,said Atkins;"but with what face can I say any thing to my wife of all this, when she will tell me immediately it can not be true?"
12623Well, Friday,said I,"do you think we shall find any body here, or no?
12623Well, but Seignior Atkins,said the Spaniard,"what have we done to you that you will kill us?
12623Well,said I to him,"Friday, what will you do now?
12623Well,said I,"are not the materials of their building the product of their own country; and so it is all China ware, is it not?"
12623Well,said I,"you have been very kind in this: what shall I do for you to make you amends?"
12623What do you mean by that?
12623What is the matter, Friday?
12623What must I do with this?
12623What must I kill you for?
12623Where are those brutes, your enemies,said I;"do you know where they are gone?"
12623Who must we yield to? 12623 Why, Father Simon,"says my partner,"why should you desire our company so much?
12623Why, Sir,says he,"do you know what you do, or what they have done?
12623Why, Sir,says he,"you do n''t want to be left there again, I hope?"
12623Why,said I,"will it make you sorry?"
12623Will they give us quarter then?
12623--"A capful do you call it?"
12623--"A storm you fool you,"replied he,"do you call that a storm?
12623--"At whose request?"
12623--"But how can you expect that of them?
12623--"But what can be done now?"
12623--"But what must they do then, Seignior?"
12623--"But,"says he again,"if God much strong, much might, as the devil, why God not kill the devil, so make him no more wicked?"
12623--"I am of your mind,"said I:"but what course must be done?"--"Done?"
12623--"My heart glad,"said I;"what can that be?
12623--"Nay then,"says the Spaniard,"why are you concerned?
12623--"No,"said I;"but why did I never lay it to heart as well as you?"
12623--"Say you so?"
12623--"Well then,"said I,"leave the rest to me; I see they are all asleep, it is an easy thing to kill them all; but shall we rather take them prisoners?"
12623--"Well, well,"said I,"Friday, you do n''t know; but shall we see any one else then?"
12623--"Well,"said I,"and what is that to me?"
12623--"Well,"said I,"and will you deliver one message to them from me?"
12623--"Well,"said I,"such a thing may be: how big is it?
12623--"What is that?"
12623--"What would you do there?"
12623--"What''s that?"
12623--"What''s the matter, Friday?"
12623--"Why so,"said I,"Friday?
12623--"Why, Sir,"said I,"will you go to sea no more?"
12623--"Why,"said I,"Friday, did you not say you wished you were there?"
12623--"Why,"said I,"can you not take me up again in your return?"
12623--"Why,"said I,"how would they use me?"
12623--"Why,"said he,"you are no pirates, what need you fear?
12623--"Will you give me leave,"said he,"to talk with these poor men about it?"
12623And here he added, with some warmth,"How, Sir, is God honoured in this unlawful liberty?
12623And how was it possible a man should come there?
12623And what am I, and all the other creatures, wild and tame, human and brutal?
12623And what must we do to prevent your killing us?
12623And what would you get by killing us?
12623Any one may guess what a surprise I was in at so insolent a message; and I asked the man who bade him deliver that errand to me?
12623As I sat here, some such thoughts as these occurred to me: What is the earth and sea, of which I have seen so much?
12623As he passed me, I spoke to him, and asked him whither he went?
12623As soon as I saw the place, I called for Friday, and asked him, if he knew where he was?
12623As to my boat, it was a very good one, and that he saw, and told me he would buy it of me for the ship''s use, and asked me what I would have for it?
12623Bid you pray?
12623But I perceived her heart was too full, and some tears stood in her eyes:"Speak out, my dear,"said I;"are you willing I should go?"
12623But all I could make use of, was all that was valuable: I had enough to eat, and to supply my wants, and what was all the rest to me?
12623But did you tell her what marriage was?
12623But he no hear what you say?
12623But how you makee me know that God teachee them to write that book?
12623But then do not you tell God tankee for that too?
12623But what need I have been concerned at the tediousness of any thing I had to do, seeing I had time enough to do it in?
12623But what signified all the astonishment and reflection of thoughts?
12623But why God let you do so?
12623But why did not your side recover you from the hands of your enemies then?
12623But you say me he is great, much great, have much great power; can make kill when he will: why he no make kill when you no serve him?
12623Can he do that too?
12623Can he tell?
12623Can you give me no farther light into it?"
12623Come, let us make a bowl of punch, and we''ll forget all that; do you see what charming weather it is now?"
12623Could you make her understand what you meant by inheritance and families?
12623Did not you come eleven of you into the boat?
12623Did you believe me, my friend, to be an honest man, or did you think me to be a boasting hypocrite?"
12623Do they carry them away, and eat them as these did?
12623Do they come hither?
12623Do you know, Sir,"said he,"the town of Cambodia lies about fifteen leagues up this river?
12623Does he think he is able to sin beyond the power or reach of divine mercy?
12623Dost thou ask, What have I done?"
12623For how should any other thing in human shape come into the place?
12623Have I not been delivered, and wonderfully too, from sickness?
12623Have you been here with them?
12623Having made some noise with rising and walking about, going out and coming in, another of them waked, and, calling, asked who it was that was up?
12623He agreed presently in that;"if,"said he,"they will do their part; but how,"says he,"shall we obtain that of them?"
12623He asked me again thus,"Why you angry mad with Friday?
12623He turned short upon me, and asked me what I called a venture?
12623How beat?
12623How came you here?"
12623How can you think, but that, let the time past lie on whom it will, all the guilt for the future will lie entirely upon you?
12623How did you begin Will?
12623How he bid you?
12623I asked her why she did not go on, and say out what she was going to say?
12623I asked her, if she would be married to me our way?
12623I asked him then, if this old person had made all things, why did not all things worship him?
12623I asked him then, what became of them?
12623I asked him what he thought would become of them there; and if they had formed no design of making any escape?
12623I asked him why he would go?
12623I asked him, how it came to pass they did not kill them, and eat them?
12623I asked him, if either of them were the men who he had said were the heads of the mutiny?
12623I asked him, if ever he went thither to speak to him?
12623I asked him, if the people who die in his country, went away any where?
12623I asked him, what he meant?
12623I asked him, what was the matter with him?
12623I asked him, which they were?
12623I asked if they were together now?
12623I asked our guides, whose dominion this was in?
12623I asked them, what put them upon all these fortifications?
12623I came as near them undiscovered as I could, and then before any of them saw me, I called aloud to them in Spanish,"What are ye gentlemen?"
12623I debated this very often with myself thus: How do I know what God himself judges in this particular case?
12623I paused awhile at his words, and looking steadily at him,"What devil,"said I,"sent you of this unlucky errand?"
12623I say, what was this gain to me?
12623I suppose you do not think you are a match for them?"
12623I warrant you were frighted, wa''n''t you, last night, when it blew but a capful of wind?"
12623I was sincerely affected with this discourse, as indeed who could be otherwise?
12623Immediately it followed, Why has God done this to me?
12623Is it a real man, or an angel?"
12623Is it better to be here or there?"
12623It was not long before they brought the men in; and inquiring where they had been, and what they had been doing?
12623Me no understand that: where is book?
12623Must we kill you, or will you kill us?
12623Nay, is it not infinitely of more worth to save so many souls than my life is, or the life of twenty more of the same profession?
12623No do good ting for him?
12623No laugh: why laugh me?
12623No say O to him?
12623Now me tink you have great much God up there,( she points up to heaven) and yet no do well, no do good ting?
12623One of the Englishmen returned very briskly,"What had they to do there?
12623Otherwise, what are their buildings to the palaces and royal buildings of Europe?
12623Our men seeing so many of them began to be frighted, for we lay but in an ill posture to fight, and cried out to us to know what they should do?
12623Pray,"continues he,"what are you?
12623Robinson?"
12623She asked me, what way that was?
12623So I asked him, whether, if I resolved to defend him, he would defend me, and stand by me, and do just as I bade him?
12623So I began to say, Can God himself deliver me from this place?
12623Sure we are all made by some secret Power, who formed the earth and sea, the air and sky; and who is that?
12623The Spaniard pausing a while, says to him,"How do you mean, you can not tell who?
12623The next question was, what should be done with them?
12623The old man said he knew the gulf of Nanquin very well; but smiling, asked us what we would do there?
12623Then I asked him, if he had given his father any bread?
12623Then I asked him, if he would go back to them?
12623Then I asked him, whether those they ate up, went thither too?
12623Then I presently asked him, if there, were white mans, as he called them, in the boat?
12623Then the Englishmen asked the Spaniards if they designed to take any of them?
12623There are no drones,"says he,"living in the world but men: why should we be of that number?"
12623Tom Smith answered immediately,"Who''s that?
12623Upon seeing this boat, Friday stood musing a great while, and said nothing; I asked him what it was he studied upon?
12623Upon this I inquired of him more critically, what was become of them?
12623Upon this Will Atkins cried out,"For God''s sake, captain, give me quarter: what have I done?
12623We asked him, What made them come up to us?
12623Well, Friday, and what does your nation do with the men they take?
12623Well, what did she say to what you told her?
12623What are their ports, supplied with a few junks and barks, to our navigation, our merchants''fleets, our large and powerful navies?
12623What could be the matter, and what made them come back again?
12623What education did he give you?
12623What have I done to be thus used?
12623What have you de great God in your country, you no know him?
12623What have you to say to that?"
12623What is that?
12623What is the matter?"
12623What marks were there of any other footsteps?
12623What rule?
12623What their cities to ours, for wealth, strength, gaiety of apparel, rich furniture, and an infinite variety?
12623What their trade to the universal commerce of England, Holland, France, and Spain?
12623What then can any one say against my being very sensible of the value of such a man, notwithstanding his profession?
12623What was your father?"
12623What you hear him speak?
12623What you hold up the hand for?
12623What you put down the knee for?
12623What you say O to him for?
12623What you say to him for that?
12623What you say?
12623When he bid you?
12623When he said kings, we asked him, how many kings?
12623When his father had drank, I called him, to know if there was any water left?
12623When the Spanish governor heard this, he calls to Will Atkins:"How, Seignior Atkins,"says he,"will you murder us all?
12623When the three wanderers had given this unaccountable history or journal of their voyage, the Spaniard asked them where their new family was?
12623When we were now at sea, we began to consult with the two seamen, and inquire first, what the meaning of all this should be?
12623Whence is it produced?
12623Where are the ten?
12623Where are you, Robin Crusoe?
12623Where are you?
12623Where be then the muchee great power strong?
12623Where do they carry them?
12623Where have you been?
12623Where have you been?"
12623Where was the vessel that brought them?
12623Who you speak to?
12623Why do n''t you shoot him?"
12623Why he no makee you much good better?
12623Why then he know what I say to you now; he know me wish to know him; how shall me know who makee me?
12623Why were they not saved and you lost?
12623Why were you singled out?
12623Why will you put us to the necessity of this, Seignior Atkins?"
12623Why you no tell me long ago?
12623Why you say, you God make all?
12623Why, have you a God in your country?
12623Will Atkins, explain yourself: you did not kill your father, did you, with your own hands?
12623a murderer?
12623and on what account did you go to sea?"
12623and what do you think, shall we see your father?"
12623and what notice had I taken of it?
12623and where had I been?
12623and whether he might expect a return of them with a power too great for us to resist?
12623as I saw on the coast of Africa: and what if I had been shipwrecked there?
12623ask, why is it that thou wert not long ago destroyed?
12623can we carry it in a box upon a camel?
12623devoured by the wild beasts on the coast of Africa?
12623dost thou ask what thou hast done?
12623from the most distressed condition that could be, and that was so frightful to me?
12623had I done my part?
12623he no hear you swear, curse, speak the great damn?
12623how do you know that?"
12623if your nation beat them, how came you to be taken?
12623killed in the fight when the ship was taken by the Sallee man of war?
12623look back upon a dreadful mispent life, and ask thyself what thou hast not done?
12623me no understand: but why not kill the devil now, not kill great ago?"
12623no be good mans?
12623no say O to him?
12623or, drowned here, when all the crew perished but thyself?
12623or, if we were first to be murdered, what satisfaction would it be to us to have them punished when they came home?
12623said I again, He returns very quick,"What you send Friday away for?
12623said I, aloud,"what art thou good for?
12623said I, seeming to know nothing of the matter,"did they murder the captain?"
12623said I,"what are you doing?
12623said I,"will they execute them, right or wrong; hang them first, and judge them afterwards?"
12623said I:"are you sure it is true?"
12623said I:"how came you to be taken prisoner then, Friday?"
12623said I:"would you turn wild again, eat men''s flesh again, and be a savage as you were before?"
12623said I;"by whom, and by what?"
12623said I;"what do you mean by that?"
12623said I;"what do you mean by that?"
12623said I;"what dost thou mean by that?"
12623said I;"what should I do there?"
12623says he, repeating the words several times,"why send Friday home away to my nation?"
12623says he,"you may, perhaps, be good Catholics in time; my business here is to convert heathens, and who knows but I may convert you too?"
12623says he;"what do you mean by that?
12623what me done?"
12623what way you know?
12623what you call dat?
12623whence are we?
12623where are they?"
12623why I should not go, and he stay in the boat?
12623why wert thou not drowned in Yarmouth Roads?
31053''twas the Devil to be sure, it could be nobody else?
3105324. is first said to be possess''d of the Devil( singular) and our Saviour asks him, as speaking to a single person, what is thy name?
31053After we were come home, I ask''d him what he meant by all this, and what he thought of it?
31053Ahab sold himself, who did he sell himself to?
31053Am I to be crush''d, and be no more the firstborn Son on Earth, but bow and kneel to him?
31053And how at first didst thou come there?
31053And how do you know''twas the Devil, Thomas?
31053And how was poor Aaron bewilder''d in it too?
31053And is it then my Sovereign Parent''s Will?
31053And was it true, Thomas, did you lye with Jenny S---- the night before?
31053And was that all you saw?
31053And what did you do that for?
31053And what is at the Bottom of it, while one Eye is upon the Prayer- book, and the other adjusting their Dress?
31053And what''s next, says he, when shall I see the Lady for whose sake I have done all this?
31053And you are to go no where when you die, are you?
31053Are they not sacrificing to Venus and Mercury, nay, and the very Devil they dress at?
31053Art thou a steam from some contagious damp exhal''d?
31053Ay, Madam, says I, as sure as ever you did your self; besides, said I, can you question that?
31053Besides, what had the Devil to do to detect Thieves, and restore stollen Goods?
31053But he bid you repent too, you say?
31053But how must I be damn''d, if there''s no Devil?
31053But how should the Devil know it, Thomas?
31053But shall I toss another Poet upon you, my Lord?
31053But since the fatal Truth we know, Without the matter whence or manner how: Thou high superlative of Sin, Tell us thy nature, where thou didst begin?
31053But suppose the passage to be nine Days, according to Mr. Milton, what follow''d?
31053But was it within doors, or out in the street?
31053But what to me is more wonderful, and which, I think, will be very ill accounted for, is, how came seeds of crime to rise in the Angelic Nature?
31053But who are those Saints?
31053But who is he?
31053Could he have agitated the Parties on both Sides, and inflam''d the Spirits of three Nations, if he had appears in his own Dress, a meer naked DEVIL?
31053D-- m ye, Sir, says the D----, then I shall go no where; I wonder where you intend to go?
31053D. And what need your Majesty be concern''d at that, if it be so?
31053D. But if you offered them, Sir, how are you sure they were not accepted?
31053D. Does he Triumph over your Majesty, our Lord and Sovereign?
31053D. No, Sir, that can not be, you can not be disturb''d at such a thing; is not the Right of Sovereignty yours by Primogeniture?
31053D. Why, who was your school- master pray?
31053D. Why?
31053D. Yes Sir, and what then?
31053D. You are a critical Dog, who taught you to believe these solemn trifles?
31053Did it say any thing else?
31053Did you in humble Language represent the Griefs and Anguish which oppress my Soul?
31053Did you my solemn Message too deliver, my Injuries impartially lay down, and due Assistance and Direction crave?
31053Did you, together with my grand Request, a just, a humble Homage for me pay, to the great Sire and Mother of Mankind?
31053Do not the Sons of God make Assignations with the Daughters of Men in the very House of Worship?
31053Do they not talk to them in the Language of the Eyes?
31053For example, What if he has had any concern in the late affair of Thorn?
31053From what dark state?
31053From what strange uncreated race?
31053Had it been possible for him to have raised the Flames of Rebellion and War so often in this Nation, as he certainly has done?
31053He tells you Adam hung back a little at first, and trembl''d, afraid to trespass: What ails the SOT, says the new Termagant?
31053Hence also we find Ahaziah the King of Israel sent to Baalzebub the God of Ekron, to enquire whether he should live or die?
31053How comes this but by the Devil''s putting those Spirits of the Soul into so violent a Ferment, into a Fever?
31053How could you see him then?
31053How did it consist, that Pride and perfect Holiness should meet in the same Person?
31053How didst thou pass the Adamantine Gate; And into Spirit thy self insinuate?
31053How does he reach us, which way does he come at the Affections, and which way does he move the Passions?
31053How happy is it, that this great Secret comes thus to be discover''d to mankind?
31053How many Governments in the World are wholly in his Administration?
31053How many have had their Throats cut for their Money, have been murther''d on the Highway, or in their Beds, for the Desire of what they had?
31053How should contagion be intail''d, On bright seraphic Spirits, and in a place Where all''s supreme, and Glory fills the Space?
31053How sweet her Voice?
31053How then did first defilement enter in?
31053How weak a thing is it then, for any Man to expect Performance from the Devil?
31053I answer that Question by a Question; who would buy him?
31053I hope with humblest Signs of filial Duty you took it for me on your bending Knees?
31053I know, says she, hastily, what d''ye mean by that?
31053I then ask''d him what Reason the Devil could have for it, if his Consent to the Fact in Sleep had not been criminal?
31053If it should so fall out, as who can tell But there may be a GOD, a Heaven and Hell?
31053In what Seraphic Orb didst thou arise?
31053In what bright form didst thou appear?
31053Is not your Grace a little inconsistent there?
31053Is that the best Language you can give your Wife, says my Lady?
31053Is there no dealing with him in a Way of human Nature?
31053It is also a great Enquiry here, whether the Devil knows our Thoughts or no?
31053Nay,''twas as wise as all the rest; but come, Thomas, to be a little serious, pray did he speak to you?
31053Now in order to make our History of him complete, the next Question before us is, how, and in what manner he acts with Mankind?
31053Now the Ceremony being over, he ask''d the Witch if the Business was done?
31053Now the great Enquiry before us is, How comes the DEVIL to a Parley with us?
31053O, Madam, says I, do n''t say, Am I?
31053Pray who am I talking to now?
31053Pride swells the Passions; Avarice moves the Affections; and what is Pride, and what is Avarice, but the Devil in the Inside of the Man?
31053Satisfied of what?
31053Sir, do not say so, has not God bless''d you?
31053So you saw none of his body, but his eyes and his feet?
31053St. Francis, they tell us, or some other Saint, they do not say who, ask''d the Devil once, how strong he was?
31053Sure there was once a time when thou wert not, By whom wast thou created?
31053Tell us, sly penetrating Crime, How cam''st thou there, thou fault sublime?
31053That he alone should stand at a Stay, and be just the same unimprov''d Devil that he was before?
31053This brings me most naturally to the important Enquiry, whether the Devil can walk about the World invisibly or no?
31053This must be the Old Gentleman, emblematically so called, or who must it be?
31053Thou Life of Death, how cam''st thou there?
31053To punish?
31053Two Witnesses will convict a Murtherer, why not a Traitor?
31053Unarm''d, you''ll say, what Arms should I take?
31053Very well, said I, then you would be rude to God a Mighty, because you could not be rude to the Devil?
31053Very well, says she, suppose you can, what''s that to me?
31053Very well; so, says she, I am a real frightful Devil, am I?
31053Was it dark or day light when you saw him?
31053Wast thou a Substance, or an airy Ghost, A Vapour flying in the fluid waste Of unconcocted air?
31053We are not arriv''d to a certainty yet, in the settling this great Point, namely, what Magick is?
31053Well then, you had a candle, had n''t you?
31053Well, but may not the Devil be fought with some of his own Weapons?
31053Well, but says he, have I sold my Soul to the Devil?
31053Well, but why should he be angry at that?
31053Well, did you answer?
31053Well, if you''re sure, Thomas, there''s no contradicting you; pray what clothes had he on?
31053Well, so you say he had fire, but gave no light, it was a devilish fire indeed; did it feel warm?
31053What Jesting, what Scorn, what Contempt did this Work expose the good old Man to for above a 100 Years?
31053What Weapons can a Man take to fight the Devil?
31053What abundant Use did that Prince of Dissemblers, Charles V. make of this Foot?
31053What ails you?
31053What is our Language when we look back with Reflection and Reproach on past Follies?
31053What kind of voice was it, was it like a man''s voice?
31053What need we put it upon him, seeing his confederates the Jesuites with the Assessorial tribunal of Poland take it upon themselves?
31053What reason can there be that we, who have capacious souls, able to receive knowledge, should have it withheld?
31053What spoke the Oracle?
31053What would this publick Appearance have signified?
31053What, said I, could not you help bowing when you were saying your Prayers?
31053What, says I, rude to who?
31053Whence can all this come?
31053Where do his Devotees gratulate one another, and congratulate him, more than at Church?
31053Where was thy ancient habitation found Before void Chaos heard the forming sound?
31053Whether he did not think the Devil had the chief Hand in such a Dream?
31053Whether is most hurtful to the World, the Devil walking about without his Cloven- Foot, or the Cloven- Foot walking about without the Devil?
31053Whether is most hurtful to the World, the Devil walking about without his Cloven- Foot, or the Cloven- Foot walking about without the Devil?
31053Who would have entertain''d him in his own proper Shape and Person?
31053Why do n''t you cut the poor Man down?
31053Why no, that''s true too, I do n''t know what to say to that; but what could it be?
31053Why that''s true, said he, but what can we do?
31053Why, Thomas, do you think the Devil would have you repent?
31053Why, if it had really been the Devil, do you think the bed- clothes would have secur''d you from him?
31053Will any Man offer to scandalize the Devil so much as to say, or so much as to suggest that Satan had no Hand in it all?
31053With that I took it a little away; Do n''t you?
31053a Lady or a Devil?
31053am I commission''d then to punish Abel?
31053am I to bear the insulting Junior''s Rage?
31053and does he not converse with you Face to Face?
31053and does not the Government descend to you by the divine Right of Birth and Blood?
31053and for what?
31053and what follows?
31053and what is his present station and condition?
31053and where have we had a Witch of Quality among us, Mother Je------gs excepted?
31053and why does the evil tempting Spirit so often prevail?
31053and why not a Cloven- Foot as well as any other Foot, if he thinks fit?
31053and why was there not a Proclamation for apprehending him, as there usually is, after such Rogues as break prison?
31053and will Satan do all this for nothing?
31053are not you Lord Adam''s eldest Son?
31053are not you the Oracle to all your growing Posterity, and next after his Sovereign Imperial Majesty Lord Adam, Patriarch of the World?
31053are you not the firstborn Glory of the Creation?
31053are you not the second Sovereign of the Earth?
31053art thou sure of it, Thomas?
31053as also what he can not do, and how far we may or may not be said to be exposed to him, or have or have not reason to be afraid of him?
31053but how came Satan while an Arch- angel to be proud?
31053can God himself take that away, when''tis once given?
31053could that nature contaminate and infect, which was always Drinking in principles of perfection?
31053could there be offence where there was no crime?
31053could untainted purity breed corruption?
31053created in a state of perfect, unspotted holiness?
31053did you see by the light of the fire you speak of?
31053from Heaven we ca n''t pretend it comes; if we must not say''tis the Devil, whose Door must it lie at?
31053from what deep place?
31053had you ever seen the Devil before?
31053he answer''d, yes, he knew how many Devils there were in all: How many?
31053he''s God to me; what just Command d''ye bring, what''s to be done?
31053how Power to deliver from Danger or from Death?
31053how came ambition, pride, or envy to generate there?
31053how does he converse with our Senses, and with the Understanding?
31053how he got hither, into this World?
31053how he should come to Dream such wicked Things?
31053how is the Change wrought?
31053how many Divans and great Councils under his Direction?
31053how was it first found in a place where no unclean thing can enter?
31053in what manner he works, and how his instruments are likewise allow''d to work?
31053is it not wiser to believe no Devil, than to be always terrify''d at him?
31053is n''t it?
31053nay, who else could it be?
31053or is there something else in it, which none of us or themselves understand?
31053say you, did he use the Word, the very Word?
31053says he, why, was that the Devil?
31053says she, and looks rufully at me; why do you talk with the Devil then?
31053says she, that I am a Devil?
31053says she, why, what would you make an Apparition of me?
31053says the Priest, pray what kind of a Devil is that?
31053take it, you Fool, and eat; do n''t you see how I am exalted in soul by it, and am quite another Creature?
31053that he does not accept your Offerings?
31053the Devil he did?
31053was the room hot while he was in it?
31053what Croesus was doing at that time?
31053what Fence against a Flail?
31053what are you afraid of?
31053what did you run away from him?
31053what fiercer fire can burn?
31053what he has done ever since he commenc''d Devil, what he is now doing, and what he may yet do before his last and closer confinement?
31053what his present state is, and where and to what part of the creation of God he is limited and restrained?
31053what is his State to be?
31053what is his original?
31053what that business is which he is employ''d about?
31053what the liberties are he takes or is allow''d to take?
31053what you''re going to quote Scripture, are you?
31053whence came he?
31053whether a diabolical Art or a Branch of the Mathematicks?
31053whether is he to wander, and in what Condition is he to remain to that Eternity to which he is still to exist?
31053whether they are evil Spirits or good?
31053which Deliverance would be in itself a Good, and we know it is not in his Nature to do Good to or for any Man?
31053who but the Devil can inject Wit in Spight of natural Dullness, create Brains, fill empty Heads, and supply the Vacuities in the Understanding?
31053who taught you to say there is a GOD?
31053who, as we say, would give any thing for him?
31053why do I bless?
31053why then it must follow that the Child I go with( for she was big with Child) will be a Devil too, will it?
31053why you know what you are, do n''t you?
31053yes, and why?
31053yes, yes, in his favour is Life; what can all the World avail without the Smiles and Countenance of him that made it?
