However, when I let him know my reason, he owned it to be just, and offered me this medium, that he would give the boy an obligation to set him free in ten years, if he turned Christian: upon this, and Xury saying he was willing to go to him, I let the captain have him.
Cependant, lorsque je lui eus fait savoir ma raison, il la reconnut juste, et me proposa pour accommodement, de donner au jeune garçon une obligation de le rendre libre au bout de dix ans s'il voulait se faire chrétien. Sur cela, Xury consentant à le suivre, je l'abandonnai au capitaine.
