yet_o the_o state_n of_o man_n body_n and_o skill_n to_o apply_v they_o they_o have_v not_o but_o all_o the_o refuge_n they_o have_v and_o rely_v upon_o in_o time_n of_o sickness_n be_v their_o

and_o a_o most_o effectual_a mean_n to_o take_v they_o off_o from_o their_o powwaw_v some_o of_o the_o wise_a sort_n i_o have_v stir_v up_o to_o get_v this_o skill_n i_o have_v show_v they_o the_o anatomy_n of_o man_n body_n and_o some_o general_a principle_n of_o physic_n which_o be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o they_o but_o they_o be_v so_o extreme_o ignorant_a that_o these_o thing_n must_v rather_o be_v teach_v by_o sight_n sense_n and_o experiance_n then_o by_o precept_n and_o rule_n of_o art_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v have_v many_o thought_n in_o my_o heart_n that_o it_o be_v a_o singular_a good_a work_n if_o the_o lord_n will_v stir_v up_o the_o heart_n of_o some_o or_o other_o of_o his_o people_n in_o england_n to_o give_v some_o maintenance_n towards_o some_o school_n or_o

and_o it_o may_v be_v of_o our_o native_a country_n also_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o shall_v train_v up_o these_o poor_a indian_n in_o that_o skill_n which_o will_v confound_v and_o root_v out_o their_o

effectual_a there_o be_v also_o another_o reason_n which_o move_v my_o thought_n and_o desire_v this_o way_n namely_o that_o our_o young_a student_n in_o physic_n may_v be_v train_v up_o better_a then_o yet_o they_o be_v who_o have_v only_o theoreticall_a knowledge_n and_o 〈◊〉_d force_v to_o fall_v to_o practice_v before_o ever_o they_o see_v a_o anatomy_n make_v or_o due_o train_v up_o in_o

i_o show_v by_o my_o little_a finger_n the_o other_o sort_n be_v great_a one_o which_o i_o show_v by_o my_o thumb_n for_o you_o know_v they_o use_v and_o delight_n in_o demonstration_n the_o little_a

the_o great_a mercy_n be_v wisdom_n the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n christ_n eternal_a life_n repentance_n faith_n these_o be_v mercy_n for_o the_o soul_n and_o for_o eternal_a life_n now_o though_o

they_o by_o this_o example_n when_o foxun_v the_o mohegan_n counsellor_n who_o be_v count_v the_o wise_a indian_a in_o the_o country_n be_v in_o the_o bay_n i_o do_v on_o purpose_n bring_v he_o unto_o

but_o he_o sit_v and_o have_v not_o one_o word_n to_o say_v unless_o you_o talk_v of_o such_o poor_a thing_n as_o hunt_v war_n etc._n etc._n second_o you_o have_v some_o more_o clothes_n than_o they_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o you_o have_v no_o more_o be_v because_o you_o have_v but_o a_o little_a wisdom_n if_o you_o be_v more_o wise_a to_o know_v god_n and_o obey_v his_o command_n you_o will_v

that_o make_v i_o so_o large_a in_o they_o but_o i_o will_v forbear_v any_o more_o of_o their_o question_n of_o this_o nature_n there_o do_v sundry_a time_n fall_v out_o difference_n among_o they_o
