Examples
- As all these were but conjectures at best ; so in the condition i was in , i could do no more than look on upon the misery of the poor men , and pity them , which had still this good effect on my side , that it gave me more and more cause to give thanks to god who had so happily and comfortably provided for me in my desolate condition ; and that of two ships companies who were now cast away upon this part of the world , not one life should be spar d but mine : i learn d here again to observe , that it is very rare that the providence of god casts us into any condition of life so low , or any misery so great , but we may see something or other to be thankful for ; and may see others in worse circumstances than our own
尽管我处境悲惨，但我的生活还是过得非常舒适，非常幸福。同时，我也要感谢上帝在船难中仅让我一人死里逃生到目前为止，我至少已亲自见到两艘船只在海上遇难，这两艘船的全体水手无一幸免，唯我独生。此外，从这件事中，我再一次认识到，不管上帝把我们置于何等不幸的境地或何等恶劣的生活环境，我们总会亲眼看到一些使我们感恩的事，看到有些人的处境比自己更不幸。
