As our last track to the southward was within a few degrees of Bouvet's discovery in the longitude assigned to it, and about three or four degrees to the southward, should there be any land thereabout, it must be a very inconsiderable island.

And they be so chaste, and lead so good life, as that they were religious men, and they fast all days.
