they_o that_o indeed_o it_o be_v strange_a as_o everything_o else_o they_o hear_v preach_v be_v strange_a also_o and_o they_o be_v wonderful_a thing_n which_o they_o never_o hear_v of_o before_o but_o

of_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n which_o though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o creature_n make_v by_o god_n yet_o the_o same_o light_n which_o be_v in_o this_o wigwam_n be_v in_o the_o next_o also_o and_o

of_o the_o soul_n almost_o all_o of_o they_o have_v they_o tell_v we_o they_o be_v trouble_v but_o they_o can_v not_o tell_v what_o answ._n to_o say_v to_o it_o what_o shall_v comfort_v they_o he_o

a_o true_a relation_n of_o our_o come_n to_o the_o indian_n the_o second_o time_n upon_o november_n 11._o 1646._o we_o come_v the_o second_o time_n unto_o the_o same_o wigwam_n of_o waawbon_n where_o

we_o begin_v again_o with_o prayer_n in_o the_o english_a tongue_n our_o beginning_n this_o time_n be_v with_o the_o young_a sort_n of_o indian_a child_n in_o catechise_v of_o they_o which_o be_v the_o first_o time_n of_o instruct_v they_o we_o think_v meet_v to_o ask_v they_o but_o only_o three_o question_n in_o their_o own_o language_n that_o we_o may_v not_o clog_v their_o mind_n or_o memory_n with_o too_o much_o at_o first_o the_o question_n ask_v and_o answer_v in_o the_o indian_a tongue_n be_v these_o three_o 1._o cue_n who_o make_v you_o and_o all_o the_o world_n answ._n god_n 2._o qu._n who_o do_v you_o look_v shall_v save_v you_o and_o redeem_v you_o from_o sin_n and_o hell_n answ._n jesus_n christ_n 3._o qu._n how_o many_o commandment_n have_v god_n give_v you_o to_o

before_o we_o go_v through_o all_o those_o who_o be_v last_o catechize_v have_v more_o ready_o learned_a to_o answer_v to_o they_o by_o hear_v the_o same_o question_n so_o oft_o propound_v and_o answer_v before_o by_o their_o fellow_n and_o the_o other_o indian_n who_o be_v grow_v up_o to_o more_o year_n have_v perfect_o learn_v they_o who_o we_o therefore_o desire_v to_o teach_v their_o child_n again_o when_o we_o be_v absent_a that_o so_o when_o we_o come_v again_o we_o may_v see_v their_o profit_v the_o better_a to_o encourage_v they_o hereunto_o we_o therefore_o give_v something_o to_o every_o child_n this_o catechism_n be_v soon_o end_v he_o that_o preach_v to_o they_o begin_v thus_o speak_v to_o they_o in_o their_o own_o language_n viz_o we_o be_v come_v to_o bring_v you_o good_a news_n from_o the_o great_a god_n almighty_a maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o to_o tell_v you_o how_o evil_a and_o wicked_a man_n may_v come_v to_o be_v good_a so_o as_o while_o they_o live_v they_o may_v be_v happy_a and_o when_o they_o die_v they_o may_v go_v to_o god_n and_o live_v in_o heaven_n have_v make_v this_o preface_n he_o begin_v first_o to_o set_v forth_o god_n unto_o they_o by_o familiar_a description_n in_o his_o glorious_a power_n goodness_n and_o greatness_n and_o then_o set_v forth_o before_o they_o what_o his_o will_n be_v and_o what_o he_o require_v of_o all_o man_n even_o of_o the_o indian_n themselves_o in_o the_o ten_o commandment_n and_o then_o tell_v they_o the_o dreadful_a torment_n and_o punishment_n of_o all_o such_o as_o break_v any_o one_o of_o those_o holy_a commandment_n and_o how_o angry_a god_n be_v for_o any_o sin_n and_o transgression_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o have_v send_v jesus_n christ_n to_o die_v for_o their_o sin_n and_o to_o pacify_v god_n by_o his_o suffering_n in_o their_o stead_n and_o room_n if_o they_o do_v repent_v and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n and_o that_o he_o will_v love_v the_o poor_a miserable_a indian_n if_o now_o they_o seek_v god_n and_o believe_v in_o jesus_n christ_n threaten_v the_o sore_a wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o all_o such_o as_o stand_v out_o and_o neglect_v such_o great_a salvation_n which_o now_o god_n offer_v unto_o they_o by_o those_o who_o seek_v nothing_o more_o than_o their_o salvation_n thus_o continue_v to_o preach_v the_o space_n of_o a_o hour_n we_o desire_v they_o to_o propound_v some_o question_n which_o be_v these_o follow_a before_o i_o name_v they_o it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o mighty_a power_n of_o the_o word_n which_o visible_o appear_v especial_o in_o one_o of_o they_o who_o in_o hear_v these_o thing_n about_o sin_n and_o hell_n and_o jesus_n christ_n pour_v out_o many_o tear_n and_o show_v much_o affliction_n without_o affectation_n of_o be_v see_v desire_v rather_o to_o conceal_v his_o grief_n which_o as_o be_v gather_v from_o his_o carriage_n the_o lord_n force_v from_o he_o the_o first_o question_n be_v sudden_o propound_v by_o a_o old_a man_n quest_n then_o present_a who_o hear_v faith_n and_o repentance_n preach_v upon_o they_o to_o find_v salvation_n by_o jesus_n christ_n he_o ask_v whether_o it_o be_v not_o too_o late_o for_o such_o a_o old_a man_n as_o he_o who_o be_v near_o death_n to_o repent_v or_o seek_v after_o god_n this_o question_n affect_v we_o not_o a_o little_a with_o compassion_n and_o we_o answ._n hold_v forth_o to_o he_o the_o bible_n and_o tell_v he_o what_o god_n say_v in_o it_o concerning_o such_o as_o be_v hire_v at_o the_o eleven_o hour_n of_o the_o day_n we_o tell_v he_o also_o that_o if_o a_o father_n have_v a_o son_n that_o have_v be_v disobedient_a many_o year_n yet_o if_o at_o last_o that_o son_n fall_v down_o upon_o his_o knee_n and_o weep_v and_o desire_v his_o father_n to_o love_v he_o his_o father_n be_v so_o merciful_a that_o he_o will_v ready_o forgive_v he_o and_o love_v he_o so_o we_o say_v it_o be_v much_o more_o with_o god_n who_o be_v a_o more_o merciful_a father_n to_o those_o who_o he_o have_v make_v than_o any_o father_n can_v be_v to_o his_o rebellious_a child_n who_o he_o have_v beget_v if_o they_o fall_v down_o and_o weep_v and_o pray_v repent_v and_o desire_v forgiveness_n for_o jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o we_o far_o add_v that_o look_v as_o if_o a_o father_n do_v call_v after_o his_o child_n to_o return_v and_o repent_v promise_v he_o favour_n the_o child_n may_v then_o be_v sure_a that_o his_o father_n will_v forgive_v he_o so_o we_o tell_v they_o that_o now_o be_v the_o day_n of_o god_n rise_v upon_o they_o and_o that_o now_o the_o lord_n be_v call_v of_o they_o to_o repentance_n and_o that_o he_o have_v send_v we_o for_o that_o end_n to_o preach_v repentance_n for_o the_o remission_n of_o
than_o the_o sun_n warm_v and_o heat_n etc._n etc._n so_o it_o be_v true_a they_o know_v but_o little_a of_o jesus_n christ_n now_o but_o we_o have_v more_o to_o tell_v they_o concerning_o he_o hereafter_o and_o after_o that_o more_o and_o after_o that_o more_o until_o at_o last_o they_o may_v come_v to_o know_v christ_n as_o the_o english_a do_v and_o we_o teach_v they_o but_o a_o little_a at_o a_o time_n because_o they_o can_v understand_v but_o little_a and_o if_o they_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o teach_v they_o he_o will_v send_v his_o spirit_n and_o teach_v they_o more_o they_o and_o their_o father_n have_v live_v in_o ignorance_n until_o now_o it_o have_v be_v a_o long_a night_n wherein_o they_o have_v sleep_v and_o have_v not_o regard_v god_n but_o now_o the_o daylight_n begin_v to_o stir_v upon_o they_o they_o may_v hope_v therefore_o for_o more_o ere_o long_o to_o be_v make_v know_v to_o they_o thus_o have_v spend_v some_o hour_n with_o they_o we_o propound_v two_o question_n what_o do_v you_o remember_v of_o what_o be_v teach_v you_o since_o the_o last_o time_n we_o be_v here_o quest_n after_o they_o have_v speak_v one_o to_o another_o for_o some_o time_n one_o of_o they_o return_v this_o answer_n that_o they_o do_v much_o thank_v god_n for_o answ._n our_o come_n and_o for_o what_o they_o hear_v they_o be_v wonderful_a thing_n unto_o they_o do_v you_o believe_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v tell_v you_o viz_o that_o god_n be_v musquantum_fw-la i_o e._n very_o angry_a for_o the_o least_o sin_n in_o your_o thought_n quest_n or_o word_n or_o work_n they_o say_v yes_o and_o hereupon_o we_o set_v forth_o the_o terror_n of_o god_n against_o sinner_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n to_o the_o penitent_a and_o to_o such_o as_o answ._n seek_v to_o know_v jesus_n christ_n and_o that_o as_o sinner_n shall_v be_v after_o death_n chechainuppan_n i_o e._n torment_v alive_a for_o we_o know_v no_o other_o word_n in_o the_o tongue_n to_o express_v extreme_a torture_n

spend_v the_o whole_a afternoon_n and_o night_n be_v almost_o come_v upon_o we_o consider_v that_o the_o indian_n former_o desire_v to_o know_v how_o to_o pray_v and_o do_v think_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o understand_v indian_a language_n one_o of_o we_o therefore_o prepare_v to_o pray_v in_o their_o own_o language_n and_o do_v so_o for_o above_o a_o quarter_n of_o a_o hour_n together_o wherein_o divers_a of_o they_o hold_v up_o eye_n and_o hand_n to_o heaven_n all_o of_o they_o as_o we_o understand_v afterwards_o understand_v the_o same_o but_o one_o of_o they_o i_o cast_v my_o eye_n upon_o be_v hang_v down_o his_o head_n with_o his_o rag_n before_o his_o eye_n weep_v at_o first_o i_o fear_v it_o be_v some_o soreness_n of_o his_o eye_n but_o lift_v up_o his_o head_n again_o have_v wipe_v his_o eye_n as_o not_o desirous_a to_o be_v see_v i_o easy_o perceive_v his_o eye_n be_v not_o sore_o yet_o somewhat_o red_a with_o cry_v and_o so_o hold_v up_o his_o head_n for_o a_o while_n yet_o such_o be_v the_o presence_n and_o mighty_a power_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n on_o his_o heart_n that_o he_o hang_v down_o his_o head_n again_o and_o cover_v his_o eye_n again_o and_o so_o fall_v wipe_v and_o wipe_v of_o they_o weep_v abundant_o continue_v thus_o till_o prayer_n be_v end_v after_o which_o he_o present_o turn_v from_o we_o and_o turn_v his_o face_n to_o a_o side_n and_o corner_n of_o the_o wigwam_n and_o there_o fall_v a_o weep_a more_o abundant_o by_o himself_o which_o one_o of_o we_o perceive_v go_v to_o he_o and_o speak_v to_o he_o encourage_v word_n at_o the_o hear_n of_o which_o he_o fall_v weep_v more_o and_o more_o so_o leave_v of_o he_o he_o who_o speak_v to_o he_o come_v unto_o i_o be_v new_o go_v out_o of_o the_o wigwam_n
