Only a few days before, these men had difficultly escaped from the hands of the Portuguese by swimming, with the loss of their foists and barks, and therefore greatly desired to be revenged of the Christians, outrageously affirming that I was a Portuguese and a spy. But God assisted me, for the master of the prison made fast its gates, that these outrageous men might not offer me violence.
And Jesus looking round, said to his disciples, How difficultly shall they who have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Then his disciples were astonished at these words.

"You didn't do the things I did," from Ted, rather difficultly. "If you had " "If I had I'd have been as sorry as you are, probably, that I'd knocked over the apple cart occasionally.
