I showed him all that was sent to me; I told him that, next to the providence of Heaven, which disposed all things, it was owing to him; and that it now lay on me to reward him, which I would do a hundred-fold: so I first returned to him the hundred moidores I had received of him; then I sent for a notary, and caused him to draw up a general release or discharge from the four hundred and seventy moidores, which he had acknowledged he owed me, in the fullest and firmest manner possible.
Primero le entregué los cien moidores que había recibido de él. Entonces, hice llamar a un notario y le ordené que redactara un descargo, lo más clara y detalladamente posible, por los cuatrocientos setenta moidores que me debía, según lo había reconocido.
