Mr. Evelyn left leave to me a legacy of a thousand pounds , and the sole guardianship of his daughter 's person till her eighteenth year ; conjuring conjure me , in the most affecting terms , to take the charge of her education till she was able to act with propriety for herself ; but , in regard to fortune , he left leave her wholly dependent on her mother , to whose tenderness he earnestly recommended recommend her .

Soon after my return return from Leyden , I was recommended recommend by my good master , Mr. Bates , to be surgeon to the Swallow , Captain Abraham Pannel , commander ; with whom I continued three years and a half , making a voyage or two into the Levant , and some other parts .

When I came come back I resolved resolve to settle in London ; to which Mr. Bates , my master , encouraged encourage me , and by him I was recommended recommend to several patients .
