i_o say_v a_o while_n after_o god_n stir_v up_o in_o some_o of_o they_o a_o desire_n to_o come_v into_o the_o english_a fashion_n and_o live_v after_o their_o manner_n but_o know_v not_o how_o to_o

with_o what_o all_o of_o we_o observe_v we_o first_o find_v these_o indian_n not_o very_o far_o from_o we_o to_o understand_v but_o with_o much_o difficulty_n the_o usual_a language_n of_o those_o in_o our_o part_n partly_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o different_a dialect_n which_o general_o vary_v in_o 40._o or_o 60._o mile_n and_o partly_o and_o especial_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o not_o be_v

matter_n excel_v he_o i_o say_v therefore_o although_o they_o do_v with_o much_o difficulty_n understand_v he_o yet_o they_o do_v understand_v he_o although_o by_o many_o circumlocution_n and_o

the_o day_n appoint_v especial_o by_o one_o of_o the_o chief_a sacbim_n in_o those_o part_n a_o man_n of_o a_o fierce_a strong_a and_o surious_a spirit_n who_o the_o english_a therefore_o call_v by_o

when_o they_o be_v to_o be_v present_a he_o send_v out_o almost_o all_o his_o man_n to_o sea_n pretend_v fish_v and_o therefore_o although_o at_o last_o he_o come_v late_o himself_o to_o the_o

with_o a_o dogged_a look_n and_o a_o discontent_a countenance_n three_o not_o withstand_v this_o opposition_n we_o find_v another_o sachim_n then_o present_a willing_a to_o learn_v and_o divers_a of_o

now_o they_o hear_v of_o they_o again_o which_o when_o i_o hear_v solemn_o speak_v i_o can_v not_o tell_v how_o those_o old_a indian_n shall_v attain_v to_o such_o knowledge_n unless_o perhaps_o by_o

this_o also_o i_o hear_v by_o a_o godly_a and_o able_a christain_n who_o have_v much_o converse_n with_o they_o that_o many_o of_o they_o have_v this_o apprehension_n now_o stir_v among_o they_o
