He was crossing that dangerous country at such a dangerous time, because he was innocent of what was laid to his charge, and couldn't rest from coming the nearest way to deliver himself up.

他是在这样一个危险的时刻穿越那个危险的国家，因为他对他所负责的事情是清白的，而且迫不及待地赶到最近的路去自首。

He persuaded himself that (as Matilda had observed), He always should have time sufficient for repentance, and that as He employed HER assistance, not that of the Daemons, the crime of Sorcery could not be laid to his charge.

他说服自己（正如玛蒂尔达所观察到的），他总是应该有足够的时间来忏悔，并且由于他使用了她的帮助，而不是恶魔的帮助，所以不能将巫术罪归咎于他。
