Gulliver's Travels

.

I had a strong hope, which never left me, that I should one day recover my liberty: and as to the ignominy of being carried about for a monster, I considered myself to be a perfect stranger in the country, and that such a misfortune could never be charged upon me as a reproach, if ever I should return to England, since the king of Great Britain himself, in my condition, must have undergone the same distress.

Hi,

Above is from Gulliver's Travels.

The underlined "and that"....

Is it "I had a strong hope that such a misfortune " or "I considered that such a misfortune"?
