much_o desire_v to_o translate_v some_o part_n of_o the_o scripture_n into_o their_o language_n and_o to_o print_v some_o primer_n in_o their_o language_n wherein_o to_o initiate_v and_o teach_v

this_o man_n do_v this_o year_n show_v very_o great_a affection_n to_o i_o and_o to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o do_v exceed_v earnest_o importunate_o invite_v i_o to_o come_v and_o live_v there_o

work_n of_o the_o day_n be_v to_o civilize_v they_o and_o it_o will_v be_v very_o chargeable_a and_o because_o in_o your_o letter_n to_o mr._n cotton_n you_o desire_v that_o he_o and_o i_o shall_v speak_v with_o the_o commissioner_n what_o be_v fit_v to_o send_v over_o for_o this_o work_n we_o can_v not_o speak_v with_o the_o commissioner_n of_o other_o colony_n nor_o write_v to_o have_v any_o

in_o all_o thing_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n they_o shall_v have_v no_o other_o lawgiver_n the_o lord_n shall_v be_v their_o lawgiver_n the_o lord_n shall_v be_v their_o judge_n the_o lord_n
