It is impossible to express the astonishment and confusion of my thoughts on this occasion ; i had hitherto acted upon no religious foundation at all, indeed i had very few notions of religion in my head, or had entertain d any sense of any thing that had befallen me, otherwise than as a chance, or, as we lightly say, what pleases god ; without so much as enquiring into the end of providence in these things, or his order in governing events in the world : but after i saw barley grow there, in a climate which i know was not proper for corn, and especially that i knew not how it came there, it startl d me strangely, and i began to suggest, that god had miraculously caus d this grain to grow without any help of seed sown, and that it was so directed purely for my sustenance, on that wild miserable place
我這個人不信教，從不以宗教誡律約束自己的行為，認為一切出於偶然，或簡單地歸之於天意，從不去追問造物主的意願及其支配世間萬物的原則。但當我看到，盡管這兒氣候不宜種谷類，卻長出了大麥何況我對這些大麥是怎麼長出來的一無所知，自然吃驚不校於是我想到，這只能是上帝顯示的奇跡-沒有人播種，居然能長出莊稼來。我還想到，這是上帝為了能讓我在這荒無人煙的孤島上活下去才這么做的。
