the_o reason_n of_o my_o inclination_n hereunto_o be_v these_o 1._o they_o have_v at_o least_o a_o traditional_a knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o the_o maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n it_o be_v true_a they_o talk_v of_o other_o god_n but_o yet_o they_o hold_v that_o the_o chief_a god_n be_v he_o who_o make_v all_o thing_n which_o agnition_n of_o god_n be_v peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o gentile_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o when_o they_o be_v captive_n in_o babylon_n this_o be_v that_o character_n by_o which_o they_o be_v teach_v to_o distinguish_v the_o true_a

attribute_v unto_o this_o god_n viz._n that_o all_o thing_n both_o good_a and_o evil_a be_v manage_v by_o his_o providence_n and_o if_o they_o do_v but_o hurt_v themselves_o they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o note_n of_o god_n displeasure_n hence_o 3._o before_o ever_o any_o of_o they_o receive_v any_o instruction_n from_o our_o english_a by_o tradition_n they_o be_v teach_v and_o do_v upon_o observation_n of_o a_o bad_a year_n or_o other_o ill_a success_n meet_v and_o weep_v as_o unto_o god_n acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v his_o h●…nd_n of_o displeasure_n upon_o they_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n upon_o a_o good_a year_n or_o good_a success_n in_o any_o business_n as_o of_o war_n etc._n etc._n they_o use_v to_o meet_v and_o make_v a_o kind_n of_o acknowledgement_n of_o thanks_o to_o god_n for_o it_o 4._o it_o be_v very_o observable_a that_o they_o be_v careful_a to_o preserve_v the_o memory_n of_o their_o family_n mention_v uncle_n grand-father_n and_o grandmother_n etc._n etc._n and_o much_o study_v the_o advance_n of_o their_o house_n and_o kindred_n a_o thing_n which_o have_v a_o great_a tang_n of_o and_o affinity_n to_o the_o jew_n care_v of_o preserve_v the_o memorial_n of_o their_o tribe_n 5._o those_o of_o they_o who_o have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o tell_v of_o some_o face_n of_o religion_n wisdom_n and_o manner_n which_o long_o ago_o their_o ancestor_n have_v but_o that_o it_o be_v lose_v 6._o to_o omit_v other_o ground_n of_o this_o conjecture_n the_o better_a and_o more_o sober_a sort_n of_o they_o delight_n much_o to_o express_v themselves_o in_o parable_n 5._o a_o thing_n peculiar_a to_o the_o jew_n as_o those_o who_o read_v their_o writing_n or_o consider_v christ_n manner_n of_o express_v himself_o will_v easy_o see_v these_o and_o the_o like_a consideration_n prevail_v with_o i_o to_o entertain_v at_o least_o a_o conjecture_n that_o these_o indian_n in_o america_n may_v be_v jew_n especial_o of_o the_o ten_o tribe_n and_o therefore_o to_o hope_v that_o the_o work_n of_o christ_n among_o they_o may_v be_v as_o a_o preparatory_a to_o his_o own_o appear_v if_o these_o reason_n prevail_v not_o with_o thou_o reader_n to_o give_v quarter_n to_o my_o conjecture●…_n yet_o i_o can_v but_o persuade_v myself_o that_o the_o former_a letter_n sober_o and_o due_o weigh_v will_v cause_v thou_o to_o subscribe_v with_o i_o to_o this_o conclusion_n that_o the_o work_n of_o god_n among_o the_o indian_n in_o america_n be_v glorious_a and_o to_o be_v admire_v by_o all_o those_o who_o look_v after_o and_o rejoice_v in_o the_o appearance_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n sure_o the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n be_v rise_v with_o healirg_n virtue_n under_o his_o wing_n upon_o those_o poor_a heart_n who_o sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o these_o godly_a person_n who_o flee_v into_o america_n for_o shelter_v from_o prelatical_a persecution_n do_v now_o appear_v to_o be_v carry_v there_o by_o a_o sacred_a and_o sweet_a

to_o and_o fro_o preach_v the_o word_n and_o i_o wish_v from_o my_o soul_n that_o all_o these_o minister_n of_o the_o dispertion_n as_o i_o may_v call_v they_o in_o new-england_n will_v stir_v up_o

the_o rather_o because_o the_o gospel_n in_o its_o advancement_n among_o these_o western_a indian_n appear_v to_o be_v not_o in_o word_n only_o as_o it_o be_v by_o the_o spaniard_n among_o their_o

those_o question_n also_o that_o relate_v to_o the_o marry_n of_o the_o godly_a with_o the_o wicked_a much_o like_o that_o of_o the_o corinthian_n to_o paul_n 1_o cor._n 7._o and_o 2_o cor._n 8._o
