I would unjustly slander myself if I should say I was not sincerely thankful to my great Preserver, to whose singular protection I acknowledged, with great humanity, all these unknown deliverances were due, and without which I must inevitably have fallen into their merciless hands.
Estaría calumniándome a mí mismo si no digo que me sentía sinceramente agradecido a mi divino Salvador, a cuya singular protección, confieso humildemente, debía mi salvación, pues sin ella, habría caído inevitablemente en las despiadadas manos de los salvajes.
