ABSTRACT
In the fiery trial I was not burnt; in the water, the great and vast ocean, I was not drowned; but after a voyage of 6 weeks and 3 dayes, I arrived to Jamaica, 24 November 1685, and after one night’s riding in the / harbour, we were put on shore at Port Royal; 1 and then received another great mercy and deliverance from the danger of the sea, and the closest prison that ever I was in, and one of the bitterest of enemies, Ed. Brookes 2 master of the ship.
