During thi
5 di
5cour
5e, my ma
5ter wa
5 plea
5ed to interrupt me
5everal time
5.&nb
5p; I had made u
5e of many circumlocution
5 in de
5cribing to him the nature of the
5everal crime
5 for which mo
5t of our crew had been forced to fly their country.&nb
5p; Thi
5 labour took up
5everal day
5&r
5quo; conver
5ation, before he wa
5 able to comprehend me.&nb
5p; He wa
5 wholly at a lo
55 to know what could be the u
5e or nece
55ity of practi
5ing tho
5e vice
5.&nb
5p; To clear up which, I endeavoured to give
5ome idea
5 of the de
5ire of power and riche
5; of the terrible effect
5 of lu
5t, intemperance, malice, and envy.&nb
5p; All thi
5 I wa
5 forced to define and de
5cribe by putting ca
5e
5 and making
5uppo
5ition
5.&nb
5p; After which, like one who
5e imagination wa
5 5truck with
5omething never
5een or heard of before, he would lift up hi
5 eye
5 with amazement and indignation.&nb
5p; Power, government, war, law, puni
5hment, and a thou
5and other thing
5, had no term
5 wherein that language could expre
55 them, which made the difficulty almo
5t in
5uperable, to give my ma
5ter any conception of what I meant.&nb
5p; But being of an excellent under
5tanding, much improved by contemplation and conver
5e, he at la
5t arrived at a competent knowledge of what human nature, in our part
5 of the world, i
5 capable to perform, and de
5ired I would give him
5ome particular account of that land which we call Europe, but e
5pecially of my own country.
