d bodies, _Iohn
Rawlins_ assembled his men together, and with one consent gave the
praise unto God, using the accustomed service on ship-boord, and for
want of bookes lifted up their voyces to God, as he put into their
hearts, or renewed their memories: then did they sing a Psalme, and last
of all, embraced one another for playing the men in such a Deliverance,
whereby our feare was turned into joy, and trembling hearts
exhillirated, that we had escaped such inevitable dangers, and
especially the slavery and terror of bondage, worse than death it selfe.
The same night we washed our ship, put every thing in as good order as
we could, repaired the broken quarter, set up the Binnacle, and bore up
the Helme for _England_, where by Gods grace and good guiding, we

_Turkes_ beleeve, the wind was come faire, and that they were sayling to
_Algier_, till they came within sight of _England_, which one of them
amongst the rest discovered, saying plainely, that that land was not
like _Cape Vincent_; "yes faith," said he, that was at the Helme, "and
you will be contented, and goe downe into the hold, and trim the salt
over to wind-ward, whereby the ship may beare full saile, you shall know
and see more to morrow": Whereupon five of them went downe very orderly,
the Renegadoes faining themselves asleep, who presently start up, and
with the helpe of the two _English_, nailed downe the hatches, whereat
the principall amongst them much repined, and began to grow into choller
and rage, had it not quickly beene supp
