ing my uncommon delicacy, she looked at me, and made
me understand that she was hungry, and could it fast
enough; so I gave it to her, and she wrapped it up as the
richest dainty with thankfulness, which was a lesson I
mean ever to to remember, while I sojourn below.
In returning home alone I saw a number of Indians
lying all their length on
the ground, with a small fire in
the midst, smoking their pipes; and as I
looked up to Hea-

he remained silent; for he was quite asham-

days before made me believe
that he felt very good when I was preaching
among the
Pagans, telling me where, by laying his hands on his
breast;
bemoaning at the same time, that he had no one to
boil his pot; for his wife
was killed by one of the wicked
Indians, who pretended she was a witch; he
told me they
came and took him a great distance; and then went into
