Chapter 7. The True and Tragical History of Mr. John Oxenham of Plymouth

Words to look up: adjudged, caravel, swooned, scarpines, arquebus (also spelled arquebuse). New Spain refers here to Mexico. "Lutheran" is used here (especially by the Spanish) to refer to any Protestant. A cacique is a native chief.
Copywork: If any one shall be startled at hearing a fine gentleman and a warrior like Sir Richard quote Scripture, and think Scripture also, they must be referred to the writings of the time; which they may read not without profit to themselves, if they discover therefrom how it was possible then for men of the world to be thoroughly ingrained with the Gospel, and yet to be free from any taint of superstitious fear, or false devoutness. The religion of those days was such as no soldier need have been ashamed of confessing.
SUMMARY OF YEO'S STORY: Yeo tells a very long and involved tale about sailing, capture, and survival. The short version: After winning some treasure, John Oxenham (who seems to have been no better than a pirate) should have ended the run and gotten his men back to safety, but he delays because he has arranged to meet a woman he loves, and she arrives with her little girl. After some time and several complications, Oxenham, Yeo, a man named Penberthy, the woman and the little girl end up tramping through the jungle, but then get caught by the Spanish. By the time this part of the story ends, Penberthy is dead, the woman has committed suicide, Oxenham has been arrested, and the girl has disappeared. Yeo then explains that he was taken in by a native tribe and started a new life there, with a wife and child, but the village was attacked by the Spanish, and he was captured and tortured by the Inquisition, then made to work as a galley slave. He finally escaped and ended up back in England.
Narration and Discussion: How does Sir Richard know right away that Salvation Yeo is an Anabaptist? How do Yeo's religious beliefs seem slightly different from those of the more "mainstream" Protestants? Why has Yeo come to see Sir Richard? What does he want most?
