selves enjoyed; that all was life, and ioy and
affuence then. And this tradition was not

pared for, and celebrated by master and Slave
with music and feasting, and great con.
course of friends and relatives; when gold
was kept in deskes or chests, (after the down.
fall of paper and weighed in scales, and lent
to neighbors for short terms without note. in.

land security for long years and lawful us.

low an ebb that it required fine of forty
pounds of tobacco to make a nun serve as
