himselfe of his skill fit to be a Pilot, and his
experience to bee an over-seer, bought him and his Carpenter at very
easie rates. For as we afterwards understood by divers _English
Renegadoes_, he paid for _Rawlins_ but one hundred and fiftie Dooblets,
which make of _English_ money seven pound ten shilling. Thus was he and
his Carpenter with divers other slaves sent into his ship to worke, and
imployed about such affaires, as belonged to the well rigging and
preparing the same. But the villanous _Turkes_ perceiving his lame hand,
and that he could not performe so much as other Slaves, quickly
complained to their Patron, who as quickly apprehended the
inconvenience; whereupon hee sent for him the next day, and told him he
was unserviceable for his present purpose, and therefore unlesse he
could procure fifteene pound of the _English_ there for his ransome, he
would send him up into the Countrey, where he should never see
_Christendome_ againe, and endure the extremity of a miserable
banishment.

But see how God worketh all for the best for his servants, and
confounded the presumption of Tyrants, frustrating their purposes, to
make his wonders knowne to the sonnes of men, and releeves his people,
when they least thinke of succour and releasement. Whilest _Iohn

_Exchange_ of _Bristow_,[5] a ship formerly surprised by the Pirats, lay
all unrigged in the Harbour, till at last one _Iohn Goodale_, an
_English Turke_, with his confederates, understanding shee was a good

_Turkes_ that tooke her, and prepared her for their owne purpose. Now
the _Captaine_ that set them at worke, was also an _English Renegado_,
by the name of _Rammetham Rise_, but by his Christian name _Henrie
Chandler_, who resolved to make _Goodale_ Master over her; and because
they were both _English Turkes_, having the command notwithstanding of
many _Turkes_ and _Moores_, they concluded to have all _English_ slaves
to goe in her, and for their Gunners, _English_ and _Dutch Renegadoes_,
and so they agreed with the Patrons of nine _English_ and one _French_
Slave for their ransoms, who were presently imployed to rig and furnish
the ship for a Man of Warre, and while they were thus busied, two of
_Iohn Rawlins_ men, who were taken with him, were also taken up to serve
in this Man of Warre, their names, _Iames Roe_, and _I
