Thus, and in this disposition of mind, I began my third year; and though I have not given the reader the trouble of so particular an account of my works this year as the first, yet in general it may be observed that I was very seldom idle, but having regularly divided my time according to the several daily employments that were before me, such as: first, my duty to God, and the reading the Scriptures, which I constantly set apart some time for thrice every day; secondly, the going abroad with my gun for food, which generally took me up three hours in every morning, when it did not rain; thirdly, the ordering, cutting, preserving, and cooking what I had killed or caught for my supply; these took up great part of the day.
Si bien no he querido incomodar al lector con el relato minucioso de los trabajos que realicé durante este año, como lo hice con el año anterior, en general, puedo observar que casi nunca estaba ocioso sino que había dividido mi tiempo, según lo requerían mis tareas cotidianas. En primer lugar, debía cumplir mis deberes con Dios y leer las escrituras, cosa que hacía tres veces al día.
