Related by Mr. Eliot and Mr. Mayhew, two faithful laborers in that work of the Lord. Published by the corporation for propagating the Gospel there, for the satisfaction and comfort of such as wish well thereunto.	Eliot, John, 1604-1690.; Mayhew, Thomas.; Mather, Richard, 1596-1669.	1653 (1653)	Wing E524; Thomason E697_16; ESTC R207106	52,811	83

on_o the_o thirteen_o of_o octob._n last_n such_o a_o one_o may_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v that_o the_o material_a temple_n be_v many_o year_n in_o building_n even_o in_o the_o day_n of_o solomon_n who_o want_v no_o help_n and_o furtherance_n thereunto_o but_o be_v abundant_o furnish_v therewith_o and_o long_o in_o re-edify_n after_o the_o captivity_n and_o therefore_o no_o marvel_n if_o the_o build_n of_o a_o spiritual_a temple_n a_o holy_a church_n to_o christ_n and_o a_o church_n out_o of_o such_o rubbish_n as_o among_o indian_n be_v not_o begin_v and_o end_v on_o a_o sudden_a it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o in_o so_o short_a a_o time_n the_o thing_n be_v in_o so_o much_o forwardness_n as_o it_o be_v beside_o it_o be_v a_o great_a matter_n to_o have_v indian_n accept_v and_o own_v as_o a_o church_n among_o themselves_o and_o so_o to_o be_v invest_v with_o all_o church-power_n as_o a_o church_n when_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o furnish_v with_o any_o to_o be_v a_o able_a pastor_n and_o elder_n over_o they_o by_o who_o they_o may_v be_v direct_v and_o guide_v in_o all_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o church_n and_o administration_n of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n this_o i_o conceive_v be_v a_o far_o great_a matter_n than_o the_o admit_n of_o they_o as_o member_n into_o any_o church_n or_o church_n of_o the_o english_a already_o so_o furnish_v which_o latter_a for_o aught_o i_o know_v may_v speedy_o be_v do_v and_o with_o much_o satisfaction_n if_o it_o be_v suitable_a in_o regard_n of_o their_o different_a language_n and_o the_o remoteness_n of_o their_o

afterward_o set_v over_o they_o in_o the_o lord_n even_o among_o the_o english_a when_o any_o company_n among_o we_o have_v unite_v themselves_o into_o church-estate_n it_o have_v be_v usual_a that_o they_o have_v have_v one_o or_o other_o among_o they_o upon_o who_o their_o eye_n have_v be_v set_v as_o intend_v they_o to_o be_v pastor_n or_o teacher_n to_o they_o afterward_o when_o once_o they_o shall_v be_v combine_v as_o a_o church_n and_o where_o it_o have_v so_o be_v they_o have_v find_v the_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n of_o it_o whereas_o those_o few_o that_o have_v proceed_v otherwise_o have_v find_v trouble_n and_o inconveniency_n therein_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o among_o the_o english_a who_o usual_o have_v better_a ability_n how_o much_o more_o among_o the_o indian_n who_o knowledge_n and_o part_n must_v needs_o be_v far_o less_o not_o to_o insist_v upon_o the_o rehearsal_n of_o those_o two_o reason_n mention_v by_o the_o reverend_a author_n of_o this_o relation_n viz._n the_o shortness_n of_o the_o time_n to_o furnish_v the_o work_n that_o day_n and_o the_o want_n of_o interpreter_n of_o who_o there_o be_v not_o any_o present_a himself_o concerning_o which_o

than_o all_o that_o have_v be_v report_v hitherto_o but_o our_o attend_n in_o this_o business_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o good_a of_o this_o poor_a people_n soul_n and_o so_o to_o that_o which_o rule_n and_o right_a reason_n require_v rather_o than_o to_o what_o may_v seem_v conducible_a for_o worldly_a advantage_n may_v be_v a_o sufficient_a witness_n of_o our_o

there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o god_n work_n among_o they_o as_o that_o i_o can_v but_o count_v it_o a_o great_a evil_n yea_o a_o great_a injury_n to_o god_n and_o his_o goodness_n for_o any_o to_o

to_o god_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v not_o yet_o pray_v but_o consider_v of_o that_o word_n that_o all_o shall_v pray_v i_o be_v trouble_v and_o i_o find_v in_o my_o heart_n that_o i_o will_v pray_v unto_o god_n and_o yet_o i_o fear_v that_o other_o will_v laugh_v at_o i_o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v not_o yet_o pray_v afterward_o god_n be_v yet_o merciful_a to_o i_o and_o i_o hear_v that_o god_n make_v the_o world_n and_o the_o first_o man_n and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v true_a and_o therefore_o i_o will_v pray_v to_o god_n because_o he_o have_v make_v all_o and_o yet_o when_o i_o do_v pray_v i_o think_v i_o pray_v not_o aright_o because_o i_o pray_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o man_n and_o i_o think_v this_o to_o be_v a_o great_a sin_n but_o than_o i_o wonder_v at_o god_n free_a mercy_n to_o i_o for_o i_o see_v god_n make_v i_o and_o give_v i_o all_o mercy_n and_o then_o be_v i_o trouble_v and_o see_v that_o many_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o that_o i_o do_v not_o yet_o believe_v then_o i_o pray_v yet_o my_o heart_n sin_v for_o i_o pray_v only_o with_o my_o mouth_n and_o then_o i_o repent_v of_o my_o sin_n and_o then_o a_o little_a i_o consider_v and_o remember_v god_n love_n unto_o we_o but_o i_o be_v a_o sinner_n and_o many_o be_v my_o sin_n and_o a_o little_a i_o repent_v of_o they_o and_o yet_o again_o i_o sin_v and_o quick_o be_v my_o heart_n full_a of_o sin_n then_o again_o be_v my_o heart_n angry_a with_o myself_o and_o often_o i_o lose_v all_o this_o again_o and_o fall_v into_o sin_n then_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n that_o god_n send_v moses_n to_o egypt_n and_o promise_v i_o will_v be_v with_o thou_o that_o promise_n i_o consider_v but_o i_o think_v that_o in_o vain_a i_o do_v seek_v and_o i_o be_v ashamed_a that_o i_o do_v so_o and_o i_o pray_v oh_o god_n teach_v i_o true_o to_o pray_v not_o only_o before_o man_n but_o before_o god_n and_o pardon_v all_o these_o my_o sin_n again_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n that_o christ_n teach_v through_o every_o town_n and_o village_n repent_v and_o believe_v and_o be_v save_v and_o a_o little_a i_o believe_v this_o word_n and_o i_o love_v it_o and_o then_o i_o see_v all_o my_o sin_n and_o pray_v for_o pardon_n again_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n he_o that_o cast_v off_o god_n he_o will_v god_n cast_v off_o and_o i_o find_v in_o my_o heart_n that_o i_o have_v do_v this_o and_o i_o fear_v because_o of_o this_o my_o sin_n lest_o god_n shall_v cast_v i_o off_o and_o that_o i_o shall_v for_o ever_o perish_v in_o hell_n because_o god_n have_v cast_v i_o off_o i_o have_v cast_v of_o god_n then_o i_o be_v trouble_v about_o hell_n and_o what_o shall_v i_o do_v if_o i_o be_v damn_v then_o i_o hear_v that_o word_n if_o you_o repent_v and_o believe_v god_n pardon_v all_o sin_n then_o i_o think_v oh_o that_o i_o have_v this_o i_o desire_v to_o repent_v and_o believe_v and_o i_o beg_v of_o god_n oh_o give_v i_o repentance_n and_o faith_n free_o do_v it_o for_o i_o and_o i_o see_v god_n be_v merciful_a to_o do_v it_o but_o i_o do_v not_o attend_v the_o lord_n only_o sometime_o and_o i_o now_o confess_v i_o be_o ashamed_a of_o my_o sin_n my_o heart_n be_v break_v and_o melt_v in_o i_o i_o be_o angry_a at_o myself_o i_o desire_v pardon_n in_o christ_n i_o betrust_v my_o soul_n with_o christ_n that_o he_o may_v do_v it_o for_o i_o by_o such_o time_n as_o this_o man_n have_v finish_v the_o time_n be_v

the_o work_n of_o such_o moment_n as_o will_v not_o admit_v a_o huddle_n up_o in_o haste_n and_o beside_o all_o this_o though_o i_o have_v full_o use_v all_o fit_a mean_n to_o have_v all_o the_o

also_o i_o tell_v they_o that_o themselves_o may_v easy_o see_v there_o be_v not_o time_n enough_o to_o finish_v so_o solemn_a a_o work_n this_o day_n therefore_o they_o advise_v and_o god_n call_v
