we are saying to you with your experience in practising
them

Brothers
We will mention that the time was
when the forefathers of your brothers, the white people lived
beyond the great water in the same manner that our
red brothers now live, the winters can yet be counted
when they went almost naked, when they procured their
living by fishing and by the bow and arrow in hunting &
when they lived in houses no better than yours. they
were encouraged by some who came from towards
the sun rising and lived amongst them to change
their mode of living—they did change—they cultivated
the Earth, and we are sure the change was a happy
one

Brothers
We are not ashamed to acknowledge
that the time was, when our forefathers rejoiced at
finding a wild Plum Tree or at killing a little
game, and that they wandered up & down living on
the uncertain supplies of fishing and hunting, but
brothers for your encouragement we mention, that
by turning their attention to the cultivation of the
Earth, instead of the Plum tree, they soon had orchards
of many kinds of good Fruit—instead of the wild game
they soon had large numbers of Cattle, of horses of sheep
of hogs and other useful animals, and instead of
their forests in many places they had large fields of
Corn and other Grain, as also many other valuable
productions of the Earth

Brothers
We hope your Eyes will be open to see clearly
