To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I earnestly requested them to Q 2 228 inform me candidly, from all they had heard, whether they thought I might, with safety, venture across the country ; but I could get nothing from tliem but vague and mysterious answers : one thing, however, they made me very clearly understand j which was, that they neither cared for me nor for my drawings ; that their own safety engrossed all their thoughts ; and that a worldly-minded, mis- guided creature like me was but as dust in the balance, compared t...o such godly people as themselves, who were now placed in jeo- pardy. They, without scruple, applied quo- tations from the Scriptures to themselves ; such as " Why do the heathen so furiously rage, " &c. &c. My necessities compelled me to request a favour from them ; which was, that they would allow one of their boys, who could speak English, to accompany me, as our loads were heavy ; and his being known to belong to their establishment 1 thought might be some protection ; but the short answer of the monosyllable " No *' soon made me repent having asked it.
