with_o and_o that_o they_o now_o say_v that_o chepian_n i_o e._n the_o devil_n be_v nought_o and_o that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n only_o of_o all_o good_a as_o they_o have_v be_v teach_v he_o therefore_o who_o preach_v to_o the_o indian_n desire_v they_o to_o tell_v he_o who_o be_v pow-wow_n when_o he_o go_v again_o to_o preach_v among_o they_o and_o upon_o special_a occasion_n this_o

he_o then_o tell_v he_o that_o his_o last_o question_n strike_v a_o terror_n into_o he_o and_o make_v he_o afraid_a and_o promise_v that_o at_o the_o next_o meeting_n he_o will_v propound_v some_o

for_o they_o be_v ask_v how_o they_o come_v to_o be_v make_v pow-wow_n and_o they_o answer_v thus_o that_o if_o any_o of_o the_o indian_n fall_v into_o any_o strange_a dream_n wherein_o chepian_n appear_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o serpent_n than_o the_o next_o day_n they_o tell_v the_o other_o indian_n of_o it_o and_o for_o two_o day_n after_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o indian_n dance_v and_o

and_o they_o say_v the_o principal_a

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

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
