Then he went out stealthily , as men do who deal with Israel by night . I think he spent my gift upon his altar . Why not ? I have spoken with Langton . He was such a man as I might have been if -- if we Jews had been a people . But yet , in many things , a child . ' I heard Elias and Adah abovestairs quarrel , and , knowing the woman was the stronger , I saw that Elias would tell the King of the gold and that the King would continue in his stubbornness . Therefore I saw that the gold must be put away from the reach of any man . Of a sudden , the Word of the Lord came to me saying , `` The Morning is come , O thou that dwellest in the land . '' ' Kadmiel halted , all black against the pale green sky beyond the wood -- a huge robed figure , like the Moses in the picture-Bible . ' I rose . I went out , and as I shut the door on that House of Foolishness , the woman looked from the window and whispered , `` I have prevailed on my husband to tell the King ! '' I answered : `` There is no need . The Lord is with me . '' ` In that hour the Lord gave me full understanding of all that I must do ; and His Hand covered me in my ways . First I went to London , to a physician of our people , who sold me certain drugs that I needed . You shall see why . Thence I went swiftly to Pevensey . Men fought all around me , for there were neither rulers nor judges in the abominable land . Yet when I walked by them they cried out that I was one Ahasuerus , a Jew , condemned , as they believe , to live for ever , and they fled from me everyways .
Thus the Lord saved me for my work , and at XXXXX I bought me a little boat and moored it on the mud beneath the Marsh-gate of the Castle .
