employment_n be_v to_o cure_v the_o sick_a by_o certain_a odd_a gesture_n and_o beat_n of_o themselves_o and_o then_o they_o pull_v out_o the_o sickness_n by_o apply_v their_o hand_n to_o the_o sick_a person_n and_o so_o blow_v it_o away_o so_o that_o their_o pow-wow_n be_v great_a witch_n have_v fellowship_n with_o the_o old_a serpent_n to_o who_o they_o pray_v and_o by_o who_o mean_n they_o heal_v sick_a person_n and_o as_o they_o say_v also_o will_n slay_v many_o strange_a juggle_n to_o the_o wonderment_n of_o the_o indian_n they_o affirm_v also_o that_o if_o they_o do_v not_o cure_v the_o sick_a party_n as_o they_o often_o they_o do_v not_o that_o then_o they_o be_v revile_v and_o sometime_o kill_v by_o some_o of_o the_o dead_a man_n friend_n especial_o if_o they_o can_v not_o get_v their_o money_n again_o out_o of_o their_o hand_n which_o they_o receive_v aforehand_o for_o their_o cure_n we_o have_v cause_n to_o be_v very_o thankful_a to_o god_n who_o have_v move_v the_o heart_n of_o the_o general_a court_n to_o purchase_v so_o much_o land_n for_o they_o to_o make_v their_o town_n in_o which_o the_o indian_n be_v much_o take_v with_o *_o town_n and_o it_o be_v somewhat_o observable_a that_o while_o the_o court_n be_v consider_v where_o to_o lay_v out_o their_o town_n the_o indian_n not_o know_v of_o any_o thing_n be_v about_o that_o time_n consult_v about_o

any_o shall_v kill_v their_o louse_n between_o their_o tooth_n they_o shall_v pay_v five_o shilling_n this_o law_n though_o ridiculous_a to_o english_a ear_n yet_o tend_v to_o preserve_v cleanliness_n among_o indian_n it_o be_v wonderful_a in_o our_o eye_n to_o understand_v by_o these_o two_o honest_a indian_n what_o prayer_n waaubon_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o they_o use_n to_o make_v for_o he_o that_o preach_v to_o they_o profess_v he_o never_o yet_o use_v any_o of_o their_o word_n in_o his_o prayer_n from_o who_o otherwise_o it_o may_v be_v think_v that_o they_o have_v learn_v they_o by_o

of_o the_o spirit_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o their_o heart_n and_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n that_o such_o dry_a barren_a and_o long-accursed_a ground_n shall_v yield_v such_o kind_n of_o increase_n in_o so_o small_a a_o time_n i_o will_v not_o ready_o commend_v a_o fair_a day_n before_o night_n nor_o promise_n much_o of_o such_o kind_n of_o beginning_n in_o all_o person_n

which_o be_v sudden_o kindle_v and_o as_o so_o one_o go_v out_o and_o be_v extinct_a again_o yet_o god_n do_v not_o usual_o send_v his_o plough_n and_o seedsman_n to_o a_o place_n but_o there_o be_v at_o least_o some_o little_a piece_n of_o good_a ground_n although_o three_o to_o one_o be_v nought_o and_o methinks_v the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v never_o have_v make_v so_o fit_a a_o key_n for_o their_o lock_n unless_o he_o have_v intend_v to_o open_v some_o of_o their_o door_n and_o so_o to_o make_v way_n for_o his_o come_n in_o he_o that_o god_n have_v raise_v up_o and_o enable_v to_o

and_o do_v good_a by_o i_o do_v think_v never_o to_o have_v open_v my_o mouth_n to_o any_o to_o desire_v those_o in_o england_n to_o further_v any_o good_a work_n here_o but_o now_o i_o see_v so_o many_o thing_n invite_v to_o speak_v in_o this_o business_n that_o it_o be_v well_o if_o you_o do_v lay_v before_o those_o that_o be_v prudent_a and_o able_a these_o consideration_n 1._o that_o it_o be_v pretty_a heavy_a and_o chargeable_a to_o educate_v and_o train_v up_o those_o child_n which_o be_v already_o offer_v we_o in_o school_n clothing_n diet_n and_o attendance_n which_o they_o must_v have_v 2._o that_o in_o all_o probability_n many_o indian_n in_o other_o place_n especial_o under_o our_o jurisdiction_n will_v be_v provoke_v by_o this_o example_n in_o these_o both_o to_o desire_v preach_v and_o also_o to_o send_v their_o child_n to_o we_o when_o they_o see_v that_o some_o of_o their_o fellow_n fare_v so_o well_o among_o the_o english_a and_o the_o civil_a authority_n here_o so_o much_o favour_v and_o countenance_v of_o these_o and_o if_o many_o more_o come_v in_o it_o will_v be_v more_o heavy_a to_o such_o as_o only_o be_v fit_a to_o keep_v they_o and_o yet_o have_v their_o hand_n and_o knee_n enfeeble_v so_o many_o way_n beside_o 3._o that_o if_o any_o shall_v do_v any_o thing_n to_o encourage_v this_o work_n that_o it_o may_v be_v give_v to_o the_o college_n for_o such_o a_o end_n and_o use_v that_o so_o from_o the_o college_n may_v arise_v the_o yearly_a revenue_n for_o their_o yearly_a maintenance_n i_o will_v not_o have_v it_o place_v in_o any_o particular_a man_n hand_n for_o fear_n of_o cozenage_n or_o misplace_n or_o careless_a keep_n and_o improve_n but_o at_o the_o college_n it_o be_v under_o many_o hand_n and_o eye_n the_o chief_a and_o best_a of_o the_o country_n who_o have_v be_v and_o will_v be_v exact_o careful_a of_o the_o right_a and_o comely_a dispose_n of_o such_o thing_n and_o therefore_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v give_v let_v it_o be_v put_v in_o such_o hand_n as_o may_v immediate_o direct_v it_o to_o the_o precedent_n of_o the_o college_n who_o you_o know_v will_v soon_o acquaint_v the_o rest_n with_o it_o and_o for_o this_o end_n if_o any_o in_o england_n have_v thus_o give_v any_o thing_n for_o this_o end_n i_o will_v have_v they_o speak_v to_o those_o who_o have_v receive_v it_o to_o send_v it_o this_o way_n which_o if_o it_o be_v withhold_v i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o sacrilege_n but_o if_o god_n move_v no_o heart_n to_o such_o a_o work_n i_o doubt_v not_o then_o but_o that_o more_o weak_a

and_o such_o like_a speech_n for_o cut_v off_o their_o lock_n and_o for_o cut_v their_o hair_n in_o a_o modest_a manner_n as_o the_o new-english_a general_o do_v for_o since_o the_o word_n have_v
