come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n the_o last_o help_n we_o give_v they_o be_v repentance_n they_o must_v confess_v 4._o their_o sin_n and_o ignorance_n unto_o god_n and_o mourn_v for_o it_o and_o acknowledge_v how_o just_a it_o be_v for_o god_n to_o deny_v they_o the_o knowledge_n of_o jesus_n christ_n or_o any_o thing_n else_o because_o of_o their_o sin_n these_o thing_n be_v speak_v by_o he_o who_o have_v preach_v to_o they_o in_o their_o own_o language_n borrow_v now_o and_o then_o some_o small_a help_n from_o the_o interpreter_n who_o we_o bring_v with_o we_o and_o who_o can_v oftentimes_o express_v our_o mind_n more_o distinct_o than_o any_o of_o we_o can_v but_o this_o we_o perceive_v that_o a_o few_o word_n from_o the_o preacher_n be_v more_o regard_v than_o many_o from_o the_o indian_a interpreter_n one_o of_o they_o after_o this_o answer_n reply_v to_o we_o that_o he_o be_v a_o quest_n little_a while_n since_o pray_v in_o his_o wigwam_n unto_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n that_o god_n will_v give_v he_o a_o good_a heart_n and_o that_o while_o he_o be_v pray_v one_o of_o his_o fellow_n indian_n interrupt_v he_o and_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o pray_v in_o vain_a because_o jesus_n christ_n understand_v not_o what_o indian_n speak_v in_o prayer_n he_o have_v be_v use_v to_o hear_v english_a man_n pray_v and_o so_o can_v well_o enough_o understand_v they_o but_o indian_a language_n in_o prayer_n he_o think_v he_o be_v not_o acquaint_v with_o it_o but_o be_v a_o stranger_n to_o it_o and_o therefore_o can_v not_o understand_v they_o his_o question_n therefore_o be_v whether_o jesus_n christ_n do_v understand_v or_o god_n do_v understand_v indian_a prayer_n this_o question_n sound_v just_a like_o themselves_o we_o study_v to_o answ._n give_v as_o familiar_a a_o answer_n as_o we_o can_v and_o therefore_o in_o this_o as_o in_o all_o other_o our_o answer_n we_o endeavour_v to_o speak_v nothing_o without_o clear_n of_o it_o up_o by_o some_o familiar_a similitude_n our_o answer_n summary_o be_v therefore_o this_o that_o jesus_n christ_n and_o god_n by_o he_o make_v all_o thing_n and_o make_v all_o man_n not_o only_o english_a but_o indian_a man_n and_o if_o he_o make_v they_o both_o which_o we_o know_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n will_v ready_o reach_v as_o they_o have_v be_v also_o instruct_v by_o we_o than_o he_o know_v all_o that_o be_v within_o man_n and_o come_v from_o man_n all_o his_o desire_n and_o all_o his_o thought_n and_o all_o his_o speech_n and_o so_o all_o his_o prayer_n and_o if_o he_o make_v indian_a man_n than_o he_o know_v all_o indian_a prayer_n also_o and_o therefore_o we_o bid_v they_o look_v upon_o that_o indian_a basket_n that_o be_v before_o they_o there_o be_v black_a and_o white_a straw_n and_o many_o other_o thing_n they_o make_v it_o of_o now_o though_o other_o do_v not_o know_v what_o those_o thing_n be_v who_o make_v not_o the_o basket_n yet_o he_o that_o make_v it_o must_v needs_o tell_v all_o the_o thing_n in_o it_o so_o we_o say_v it_o be_v here_o another_o propound_v this_o question_n after_o this_o answer_n whether_o english_a man_n be_v ever_o at_o any_o time_n so_o ignorant_a of_o god_n and_o jesus_n quest_n christ_n as_o themselves_o when_o we_o perceive_v the_o root_n and_o reach_v of_o this_o question_n we_o answ._n give_v they_o this_o answer_n that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o english_a man_n some_o be_v bad_a and_o nought_o and_o live_v wicked_o and_o loose_o describe_v they_o and_o these_o kind_n of_o english_a man_n we_o tell_v they_o be_v in_o a_o manner_n as_o ignorant_a of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o indian_n now_o be_v but_o there_o be_v a_o second_o sort_n of_o english_a man_n who_o though_o for_o a_o time_n they_o live_v wicked_o also_o like_o other_o profane_a and_o ignorant_a english_a yet_o repent_v of_o their_o sin_n and_o seek_v after_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n they_o be_v good_a man_n now_o and_o now_o know_v christ_n and_o love_n christ_n and_o pray_v to_o christ_n and_o be_v thankful_a for_o all_o they_o have_v to_o christ_n and_o shall_v at_o last_o when_o they_o die_v go_v up_o to_o heaven_n to_o christ_n and_o we_o tell_v they_o they_o all_o these_o also_o be_v once_o as_o ignorant_a of_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o indian_n be_v but_o by_o seek_v to_o know_v he_o by_o read_v his_o book_n and_o hear_v his_o word_n and_o pray_v to_o he_o etc._n etc._n they_o now_o know_v jesus_n christ_n and_o just_o so_o shall_v the_o indian_n know_v he_o if_o they_o so_o seek_v he_o also_o although_o at_o the_o present_a they_o be_v extrme_o ignorant_a of_o he_o how_o can_v there_o be_v a_o image_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v forbid_v in_o quest_n the_o second_o commandment_n we_o tell_v they_o that_o image_n be_v all_o one_o picture_n as_o the_o picture_n of_o a_o indian_a bow_n and_o arrow_n on_o a_o tree_n with_o such_o little_a eye_n answ._n and_o such_o fair_a hand_n be_v not_o a_o indian_a but_o the_o picture_n or_o image_n of_o a_o indian_a and_o that_o picture_n man_n make_v and_o it_o can_v do_v no_o hurt_n nor_o good_a so_o the_o image_n or_o picture_n of_o god_n be_v not_o god_n but_o wicked_a man_n make_v it_o and_o this_o image_n can_v do_v no_o good_a nor_o hurt_n to_o any_o man_n we_o god_n can_v whether_o if_o the_o father_n be_v nought_o and_o the_o child_n good_a will_v god_n be_v offend_v with_o that_o child_n because_o in_o the_o second_o quest_n commandment_n it_o be_v say_v that_o he_o visit_v the_o sin_n of_o father_n upon_o the_o child_n we_o tell_v they_o the_o plain_a answer_n we_o can_v think_v of_o via_fw-la that_o answ._n if_o the_o child_n be_v good_a and_o the_o father_n bad_a god_n will_v not_o be_v offend_v with_o the_o child_n if_o he_o repent_v of_o his_o own_o and_o his_o father_n sin_n and_o follow_v not_o the_o step_n of_o his_o wicked_a father_n but_o if_o the_o child_n be_v also_o bad_a than_o god_n will_v visit_v the_o sin_n of_o father_n upon_o they_o and_o therefore_o wish_v they_o to_o consider_v of_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o promise_n make_v to_o thousand_o of_o they_o that_o love_v god_n and_o the_o evangenesh_n jehovah_n i_o e._n the_o commandment_n of_o jehovah_n how_o all_o the_o world_n be_v become_v so_o full_a of_o people_n if_o they_o be_v all_o quest_n once_o drown_v in_o the_o flood_n we_o tell_v they_o the_o story_n and_o cause_n of_o noabs_n preservation_n in_o answ._n the_o ark_n at_o large_a and_o so_o their_o question_v end_v and_o therefore_o we_o then_o see_v our_o time_n of_o propound_v some_o few_o question_n to_o they_o and_o so_o take_v occasion_n thereby_o to_o open_a matter_n of_o god_n more_o full_o our_o first_o question_n be_v whether_o they_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o see_v god_n 1._o and_o be_v not_o tempt_v to_o think_v that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n because_o they_o can_v see_v he_o some_o of_o they_o reply_v thus_o that_o indeed_o they_o do_v desire_n to_o see_v answ._n he_o if_o it_o can_v be_v but_o they_o have_v hear_v from_o we_o that_o he_o can_v not_o be_v see_v and_o they_o do_v believe_v that_o though_o their_o eye_n can_v not_o see_v he_o yet_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v see_v with_o their_o soul_n within_o hereupon_o we_o seek_v to_o confirm_v they_o the_o more_o and_o ask_v they_o if_o they_o see_v a_o great_a wigwam_n or_o a_o great-house_n will_v they_o think_v that_o *_o fox_n racoone_n or_o fox_n build_v it_o that_o have_v no_o wisdom_n or_o will_v they_o think_v that_o it_o make_v itself_o or_o that_o no_o wise_a workman_n make_v it_o because_o they_o can_v not_o see_v he_o that_o make_v it_o no_o but_o they_o will_v believe_v some_o wise_a workman_n make_v it_o though_o they_o do_v not_o see_v he_o so_o shall_v they_o believe_v concerning_o god_n when_o they_o look_v up_o to_o heaven_n sun_n moon_n and_o star_n and_o see_v this_o great_a house_n he_o have_v make_v though_o they_o do_v not_o see_v he_o with_o their_o eye_n yet_o they_o have_v good_a cause_n to_o believe_v with_o their_o soul_n that_o a_o wise_a god_n a_o great_a god_n make_v it_o we_o know_v that_o a_o great_a block_n in_o their_o way_n to_o believe_v be_v that_o 2._o there_o shall_v be_v but_o one_o god_n by_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o english_a and_o yet_o this_o god_n in_o many_o place_n therefore_o we_o ask_v they_o whether_o it_o do_v not_o seem_v strange_a that_o there_o shall_v be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o yet_o this_o god_n in_o *_o down_o massachusets_n at_o concetacut_n at_o quimipeiock_n in_o old_a england_n in_o this_o wigwam_n in_o the_o next_o everywhere_o their_o answer_n be_v by_o one_o most_o sober_a among_o
