of_o ship_n go_v together_o i_o will_v do_v now_o for_o that_o i_o have_v observe_v salt_n meat_n which_o be_v the_o sea_n diet_n do_v not_o so_o well_o agree_v with_o land-man_n and_o beside_o that_o

in_o the_o charge_n of_o passage_n the_o next_o way_n be_v upon_o new_a england_n ship_n which_o go_v and_o come_v almost_o all_o the_o year_n but_o this_o will_v be_v after_o the_o old_a charge_n

for_o ever_o i_o shall_v have_v fit_v you_o with_o servant_n before_o your_o come_n into_o the_o country_n but_o since_o it_o be_v only_o our_o fancy_n have_v be_v there_o to_o take_v a_o view_n

take_v this_o course_n you_o may_v pick_v and_o choose_v your_o servant_n only_o this_o i_o must_v advise_v that_o you_o agree_v with_o your_o servant_n for_o four_o year_n at_o least_o and_o

for_o his_o bacon_n two_o pound_n three_o shilling_n four_o penny_n and_o this_o lade_v out_o in_o pin_n lace_n and_o comb_n for_o the_o maid_n shall_v in_o virginia_n be_v double_a and_o now_o his_o

to_o trust_v next_o i_o will_v consider_v force_n and_o that_o have_v be_v fatal_a to_o the_o indian_n there_o have_v be_v great_a number_n of_o they_o slay_v and_o this_o will_v not_o do_v till_o

therefore_o consider_v of_o a_o three_o way_n in_o which_o not_o leave_v our_o dependence_n upon_o god_n for_o his_o assistance_n i_o shall_v look_v upon_o nature_n and_o i_o will_v examine_v the_o ordinary_a course_n of_o tame_v wild_a and_o fierce_a beast_n these_o differ_v from_o they_o in_o nothing_o but_o that_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o natural_a reason_n it_o must_v be_v observe_v the_o more_o you_o thwart_o nature_n the_o fierce_a you_o make_v it_o and_o therefore_o we_o be_v first_o to_o study_v what_o they_o be_v most_o incline_v to_o and_o have_v find_v it_o then_o to_o fit_v they_o with_o those_o thing_n they_o natural_o be_v delight_v in_o and_o so_o by_o degree_n you_o take_v from_o they_o all_o fear_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a abstacle_n and_o at_o last_o reclaim_v they_o this_o be_v enough_o for_o the_o general_n now_o to_o come_v to_o our_o wild_a people_n who_o be_v endue_v with_o natural_a reason_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o they_o may_v more_o easy_o reelame_v first_o therefore_o i_o will_v inquire_v what_o most_o predomminate_v in_o nature_n and_o i_o find_v ambition_n to_o be_v to_o the_o princpall_a mark_n that_o nature_n aim_v at_o for_o all_o man_n be_v natural_o ambitious_a either_o of_o knowledge_n honour_n or_o of_o wealth_n to_o attain_v which_o the_o great_a danger_n harsh_a study_n and_o the_o hard_a labour_n be_v make_v pleasure_n therefore_o we_o must_v make_v use_n of_o ambition_n be_v the_o universal_a net_n of_o nature_n to_o take_v these_o man_n now_o let_v we_o look_v what_o it_o be_v that_o draw_v we_o to_o this_o net_n and_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v a_o sense_n of_o our_o own_o nakedness_n and_o it_o be_v the_o case_n of_o adam_n and_o evah_n our_o first_o parent_n wherefore_o i_o shall_v say_v that_o if_o the_o devil_n can_v by_o this_o mean_n work_v upon_o they_o to_o so_o bad_a a_o end_n god_n will_v assistus_fw-la by_o the_o same_o mean_n since_o it_o be_v to_o a_o better_a end_n to_o work_v upon_o these_o it_o be_v to_o his_o glory_n now_o in_o order_n to_o the_o reclaim_n of_o these_o man_n we_o must_v consider_v first_o that_o they_o be_v ignorant_o naked_a in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o what_o they_o be_v prompt_a to_o by_o nature_n for_o self_n preservation_n second_o that_o the_o country_n afford_v plenty_n of_o provision_n to_o sustain_v nature_n
