I who, at home, was surrounded and guarded by slaves, so that no indifferent person might approach me, and clothed with gold, have been inhumanly threatened with death; and have frequently wanted clothing to defend me from the inclemency of the weather.... I am willing, and even desirous to be counted as nothing, a stranger in the world, and a pilgrim here.

I should have perceived that I had much more to suffer than I had before experienced, and that my troubles had as yet barely commenced.
