I called Will Atkins again, and asked him; but the poor fellow fellimmediately into tears, and told us he had said something to her of allthose things, but that he was himself so wicked a creature, and his ownconscience so reproached him with his horrid, ungodly life, that hetrembled at the apprehensions that her knowledge of him should lessen theattention she should give to those things, and make her rather contemnreligion than receive it; but he was assured, he said, that her mind wasso disposed to receive due impressions of all those things, and that if Iwould but discourse with her, she would make it appear to my satisfactionthat my labour would not be lost upon her.

Accordingly I called her in, and placing myself as interpreter between myreligious priest and the woman, I entreated him to begin with her; butsure such a sermon was never preached by a Popish priest in these latterages of the world; and as I told him, I thought he had all the zeal, allthe knowledge, all the sincerity of a Christian, without the error of aRoman Catholic; and that I took him to be such a clergyman as the Romanbishops were before the Church of Rome assumed spiritual sovereignty overthe consciences of men. In a word, he brought the poor woman to embracethe knowledge of Christ, and of redemption by Him, not with wonder andastonishment only, as she did the first notions of a God, but with joyand faith; with an affection, and a surprising degree of understanding, scarce to be imagined, much less to be expressed; and, at her ownrequest, she was baptized.

When he was preparing to baptize her, I entreated him that he wouldperform that office with some caution, that the man might not perceive hewas of the Roman Church, if possible, because of other ill consequenceswhich might attend a difference among us in that very religion which wewere instructing the other in. He told me that as he had no consecratedchapel, nor proper things for the office, I should see he would do it ina manner that I should not know by it that he was a Roman Catholicmyself, if I had not known it before; and so he did; for saying only somewords over to himself in Latin, which I could not understand, he poured awhole dishful of water upon the woman's head, pronouncing in French, veryloud, Mary (which was the name her husband desired me to give her, forI was her godfather), I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and ofthe Son, and of the Holy Ghost; so that none could know anything by itwhat religion he was of. He gave the benediction afterwards in Latin, but either Will Atkins did not know but it was French, or else did nottake notice of it at that time.

As soon as this was over we married them; and after the marriage wasover, he turned to Will Atkins, and in a very affectionate mannerexhorted him, not only to persevere in that good disposition he was in, but to support the convictions that were upon him by a resolution toreform his life: told him it was in vain to say he repented if he did notforsake his crimes; represented to him how God had honoured him withbeing the instrument of bringing his wife to the knowledge of theChristian religion, and that he should be careful he did not dishonourthe grace of God; and that if he did, he would see the heathen a betterChristian than himself; the savage converted, and the instrument castaway. He said a great many good things to them both; and then, recommending them to God's goodness, gave them the benediction again, Irepeating everything to them in English; and thus ended the ceremony. Ithink it was the most pleasant and agreeable day to me that ever I passedin my whole life. But my clergyman had not done yet: his thoughts hungcontinually upon the conversion of the thirtyseven savages, and fain bewould have stayed upon the island to have undertaken it; but I convincedhim, first, that his undertaking was impracticable in itself; and, secondly, that perhaps I would put it into a way of being done in hisabsence to his satisfaction.

I knew this must be the young woman who was his mother's servant, forthere was no other Christian woman on the island: so I began to persuadehim not to do anything of that kind rashly, or because be found himselfin this solitary circumstance. I represented to him that he had someconsiderable substance in the world, and good friends, as I understood byhimself, and the maid also; that the maid was not only poor, and aservant, but was unequal to him, she being six or seven and twenty yearsold, and he not above seventeen or eighteen; that he might very probably, with my assistance, make a remove from this wilderness, and come into hisown country again; and that then it would be a thousand to one but hewould repent his choice, and the dislike of that circumstance might bedisadvantageous to both. I was going to say more, but he interrupted me, smiling, and told me, with a great deal of modesty, that I mistook in myguessesthat he had nothing of that kind in his thoughts; and he wasvery glad to hear that I had an intent of putting them in a way to seetheir own country again; and nothing should have made him think ofstaying there, but that the voyage I was going was so exceeding long andhazardous, and would carry him quite out of the reach of all his friends;that he had nothing to desire of me but that I would settle him in somelittle property in the island where he was, give him a servant or two, and some few necessaries, and he would live here like a planter, waitingthe good time when, if ever I returned to England, I would redeem him. Hehoped I would not be unmindful of him when I came to England: that hewould give me some letters to his friends in London, to let them know howgood I had been to him, and in what part of the world and whatcircumstances I had left him in: and he promised me that whenever Iredeemed him, the plantation, and all the improvements he had made uponit, let the value be what it would, should be wholly mine. His discourse was very prettily delivered, considering his youth, and wasthe more agreeable to me, because he told me positively the match was notfor himself. I gave him all possible assurances that if I lived to comesafe to England, I would deliver his letters, and do his businesseffectually; and that he might depend I should never forget thecircumstances I had left him in. But still I was impatient to know whowas the person to be married; upon which he told me it was my Jackofalltrades and his maid Susan. I was most agreeably surprised when he namedthe match; for, indeed, I thought it very suitable. The character ofthat man I have given already; and as for the maid, she was a veryhonest, modest, sober, and religious young woman: had a very good shareof sense, was agreeable enough in her person, spoke very handsomely andto the purpose, always with decency and good manners, and was neither toobackward to speak when requisite, nor impertinently forward when it wasnot her business; very handy and housewifely, and an excellent manager;fit, indeed, to have been governess to the whole island; and she knewvery well how to behave in every respect.
