all the yeare, which they beat to powder, and mingle it with their
parcht meale, and make a delicate dish which they call Sautáuthig;
which is as sweet to them as plum or spice cake to the English.
They also make great use of their Strawberries having such abundance
of them: making Strawberry bread, and having no other Food for many
dayes, but the English have exceeded, and made good Wine both of
their Grapes and Strawberries in some places, as I have often tasted.
Ewáchim neash, Corne.
Scannémeneash, Seed Corne.
Wompiscannémeneash, White seed-corne.
Obs: There be diverse sorts of this Corne, and of the colours: yet
all of it either boild in milke, or buttered, if the use of it were
knowne and received in England (it is the opinion of some skillfull
in physic) it might save many thousand lives in England, occasioned
by the binding nature of the English wheat, the Indian Corne keeping
the body in a constant moderate loosenesse.

Quttáunemun, To plant Corne.
Anakáusu, A Labourer.
Anakáusichick, Labourers.

Obs: The Women set or plant, weede, and hill, and gather and barne
all the corne and Fruites of the Field: yet sometimes the man
himselfe, (either out of love to his Wife, or care for his Children,
or being an old man) will help the Woman which (by the custome of the
Countrey) they are not bound to.
When a field is to be broken up, they have a very loving sociable
speedy way to dispatch it: All the neighbours men and Women forty,
fifty, a hundred, &c. joyne, and come in to helpe freely. With
friendly joyning they breake up their fields, build their Forts, hunt
the woods, stop and kill fish in the Rivers, it being true with them
as in all the World in the Affaires of Earth or Heaven: By concord
little things grow great, by discord the greatest come to nothing.
_Concordiâ parvæ res crescunt, discordiâ magnæ dilabuntur._
Anáskhig-anash, How, Howes.

Squashes about the bignesse of Apples of severall colours, a sweet,
light, wholesome refreshing.
Uippakumíneash, The seed of them.
_The Observation generall of the Fruits of the Earth._
God hath not left himselfe without wit in all parts and coasts of the
world; the raines and fruitfull seasons, the Earth, Trees, Plants,
&c. filling mans heart with food and gladnesse, witnesseth against
and condemneth man for his unthankfullnesse and unfruitfullnesse
towards his Maker.
More particular.
Yeeres thousands since, God gave command
(As we in Scripture find)
That Earth, and Trees and Plants should bring
Forth fruit each in his kind.
The wildernesse remembers this
The wild and howling land
Answers the toyling labour of,
The wildest Indians hand.
But Man forgets his Maker, who,
Fram’d him in Righteousnesse.
A paradise in Paradise, now worse
Than Indian wildernesse.

have often seen, fair streams and rivers damm’d and stopt up by them:
upon these streames thus damm’d up, he builds his house with stories,
wherein he sits drie in his chambers, or goes into the water at his
pleasure.
Mishquáshim, A red Fox.
Pequawus, A gray Fox.
Obs: The Indians say they have black Foxes which they have often

which they cannot comprehend.

Yet the varietie of their Dialects and proper speech within thirtie
or fortie miles each of other, is very great, as appears in that word.
Anùm, The Cowweset. }
Ayím, The Narriganset. } Dialect.
Arúm, The Qunnippiuck. }

_The generall Observation of the Beasts._
The Wildernesse, is a cleere resemblance of the world, where gredie
and furious men persecute and devoure the harmlesse and innocent as
the wilde beasts pursue and devoure the Hinds and Roes.
More particular.
1. The Indians, Wolves, yea, Dogs and Swine
I have knowne the Deere devoure,
Gods children are sweet prey to all;
But yet the end proves sowre.
2. For though Gods children lose their lives,
They shall not loose an haire;
But shall arise, and judge all those,
That now their Judges are.
3. New-England’s wilde beasts are not fierce
As other wild beasts are:
Some men are not so fierce, and yet
From mildnesse are they farre.
CHAP. XVIII.

Obs: Mishoòn, an Indian Boat, or Canow made of a Pine or Oake, or

hatchet carrying onely a Basket of Corne with him, and stones to
strike fire when he had felled his tree (being a Chesnut) he made him
a little House or shed of the bark of it, he puts fire and followes
the burning of it with fire, in the midst in many places: his corne
he boyles and hath the Brook by him, and sometimes angles for a
little fish: but so hee continues burning and hewing untill he hath
within ten or twelve dayes (lying there at his worke alone) finished,
and (getting hands,) lanched his Boate; with which afterward hee
ventures out to fish in the Ocean.

Some of them will not well carry above three or foure: but some of
them twenty, thirty, forty men.

they will swim a mile, yea two or more safe to Land: I having
been necessitated to passe Waters diverse times: with them, it
hath pleased God to make them many times the instruments of my

_Generall Observations of the Sea._
How unsearchable are the depths of the Wisedome and Power of God in
separating from Europe, Asia and Africa such a mightie vast continent
as America is? and that for so many ages? as also, by such a Westerne
Ocean of about three thousand of English miles breadth in passage
over?
More particular:
They see God’s wonders that are call’d
Through dreadfull Seas to passe,
In tearing winds, and roaring seas,
And calmes as smooth as glasse.
I have in Europes ships, oft been
In King of terrours hand;
When all have cri’d, Now, now we sinck,
Yet God brought safe to land.
Alone ’mongst Indians in Canoes,
Sometime o’return’d, I have been
Halfe inch from death, in Ocean deepe,
Gods wonders I have seene.
CHAP. XIX.
_Of Fish and Fishing._
Namaùus,-suck, Fish, Fishes.
} Cod, Which is the first
Pauganaùt, tamwock, } that comes a little before
} the Spring.
} Lampries, The first that
Qunnamáug-suck, } come in the Spring into
} the fresh Rivers.
Aumsûog, & Munnaw-hatteaûg, A Fish somewhat like a Herring.
Missúckeke-kéquock, Basse.
The Indians (and the English too) make a daintie dish of the
Uppaquontup, or head of this Fish; and well they may, the braines and
fat of it being very much, and sweet as marrow.
Kaúposh-shaûoog, Sturgeon.
Obs: Divers part of the Countrey abound with this Fish; yet the
Natives for the goodnesse and greatnesse of it, much prize it,
and will neither furnish the English with so many, nor so cheape,
that any great trade is like to be made of it, untill the English
themselves are fit to follow the fishing.
The Natives venture one or two in a Canow, and with an harping Iron,
or such like Instrument sticke this fish, and so hale it into their
Canow; sometimes they take them by their nets, which they make strong
of Hemp.
Ashòp, their nets. Which they will set thwart some little River or
Cove wherein they kill Basse (at the fall of the water) with their
arrows, or sharp sticks, especially if headed with Iron, gotten from
the English, &c.
Aucùp, A little Cove or Creeke.
Aucppâwese, A very little one.
Wawwhunnekesûog, Mackrell.
Mishquammaùquock, Red fish, Salmon.
Osacóntuck, A fat sweet fish, something
like a Haddock.
Mishcùp-paûog, Breame.
Sequanamáuquock,
Obs: Of this Fish there is abundance, which the Natives drie in the
Sunne and smoake; and some _English_ begin to salt, both wayes they
keepe all the yeere; and it is hoped it may be as well accepted as
Cod at a Market, and better, if once knowne.
Taut-aúog, Sheeps-heads.
Neeshaúog, }
Sassammaúquock, } Eeles.
Nquittéconnaúog, }
Tatackommmâúog, Porpuses.
Pútop-paúog, Whales.
Which in some places are often cast up; I have seene some of them,
but not above sixtie foot long: The Natives cut them out in severall
parcells, and give and send farre and neere for an acceptable
present, or dish.
Missêsu, The whole.
Poquêsu, The halfe.
Waskèke, The Whalebone.
Wussúckqun, A taile.

Awácenick kukkattineanaûmen? What doe you fish for.
Ashaûnt-teaûg, Lobsters.
Opponenaûhock, Oysters.
Sickíssuog, Clams.
Obs: This is a sweet kind of shellfish, which all Indians generally
over the Countrey, Winter and Summer delight in; and at low water the
women dig for them: this fish, and the naturall liquors of it, they
boile, and it makes their broth and their Nasaúmp (which is a kind
of thickened broth) and their bread seasonable and savoury, in stead
of Salt: and for that the English Swine dig and root these Clams
wheresoever they come, and watch the low water (as the Indian women
do) therefore of all the English Cattell, the Swine (as also because
of their filthy disposition) are most hatefull to all Natives, and
they call them filthy cut throats, &c.
Séqunnock, } A Horse fish.
Poquaûhock, }
Obs: This the English call Hens, a little thick shell fish which
the Indians wade deepe and dive for, and after they have eaten the
meat there (in those which are good) they breake out of the shell,
about halfe an inch of a blacke part of it, of which they make their
Suckaúhock, or blackmoney, which is to them pretious.
Meteaûhock, The Periwinkle.
Of which they make their Wómpan or white money, of halfe the value of
their Suckáwhock, or blacke money, of which more in the Chapter of
their Coyne.
Cumménakiss, }
Cummenakíssamen, } Have you taken store?
Cummuchickinneanâwmen? }
Numménakiss, I have taken store.
Nummuchikineanâwmen, I have killed many.
Machàge, I have caught none.
Aúmanep, A fishing line.
Aumanapeash, Lines.
The Natives take exceeding great paines in their fishing, especially
in watching their seasons by night; so that frequently they lay their
naked bodies many a cold night on the cold shoare about a fire of
two or three sticks, and oft in the night search their Nets; and
sometimes goe in and stay longer in frozen water.
Hoquaùn aûnash, Hooke, hookes.
Peewâsicks, Little hookes.
Maúmacocks, Great hookes.
Nponamouôog, I set nets for them.
Npunnouwaûmen, I goe to search my nets.

} A little sort of fish, halfe
Moamitteaúg, } as big as Sprats, plentifull
} in Winter.
Paponaumsúog, A winter fish,
which comes up in the brookes and rivulets; some call them Frost
fish, from their comming up from the Sea into fresh Brookes, in times
of frost and snow.
Qunôsuog, A fresh fish,
which the Indians break the ice in fresh ponds, when they take also
many other sorts: for, to my knowledge the Country yeelds many sorts
of other fish, which I mention not.
_The generall Observation of Fish._
How many thousands of Millions of those under water, sea inhabitants,
in all Coasts of the world, preach to the sonnes of men on shore,
to adore their glorious Maker, by presenting themselves to Him as
themselves (in a manner) present their lives from the wild Ocean, to
the very doores of men, their fellow creatures in New-England.
More particular.
What Habacuck once spake, mine eyes
Have often seene most true,
The greater Fishes devoure the lesse,
And cruelly pursue.
Forcing them through coves and creekes
To leape on driest sand,
To gaspe on earthie element, or die
By wildest Indians hand.
Christs little ones must hunted be
Devour’d; yet rise as Hee.
And eate up those which now a while
Their fierce devourers be.
CHAP. XX.
_Of their Nakednesse and Clothing._
Paúskesu, Naked.
Pauskesítchck, Naked men and women.
Nippóskíss, I am naked.
They have a two-fold nakednesse:
First, ordinary and constant, when although they have a Beasts skin,
or an English mantle on, yet that covers ordinarily but their hinder
parts and all the foreparts from top to toe, (except their secret
parts, covered with a little Apron, after the patterne of their and
our first Parents) I say all else open and naked.
Their male children goe starke naked, and have no Apron untill they
come to ten or twelve yeers of age; their Female they, in a modest
blush cover with a little Apron of an hand breadth from their very
birth. Their second nakednesse is when their men often abroad and
both men and women within doores, leave off their beasts skin, or
English cloth and so (excepting their little apron) are wholly naked;
yet but few of the women but will keepe their skin or cloth (though
loose) or neare to them ready to gather it up about them.
Custome hath used their minds and bodies to it, and in such a freedom
from any wantonnesse, that I have never seen that wantonnesse amongst
them, as, (with griefe) I have heard of in Europe.
Nippóskenitch, I am rob’d of my coat.
Nippóskenick ewò, He takes away my Coat.
Acòh, Their Deere skin.
Tummóckquashunck, A Beavers coat.
Nkéquashunck, An Otters coat.
Mohéwonck, A Rakoone-skin coat.
Natóquashunch, A Wolves-skin coat.
Mishannéquashunck, A Squirril-skin coat.
Neyhommaûashunck, a coat or Mantle,
curiously made of the fairest feathers of their Neyhommaûog or
Turkies, which commonly their old Men make; and is with them as
velvet with us.
Maúnek: nquittiashíagat, An English Coat or Mantell.
Cáudnish, Put off.
Ocquash, Put on.
Neesashíagat, Two coats.
Shwíshiagat, Three coats.
Piuckquashiágat, Ten coats, &c.
Obs: Within their skin or coat they creepe contentedly, by day or
night, in house, or in the woods, and sleep soundly, counting it
a felicitie, (as indeed an earthly one it is;) _Intra pelliculam
quemque tenere suam_, That every man be content with his skin.
Squáus aúhaqut, A Womans Mantle.
Muckíis auhaqut, A childs Mantle.
Pétacaus, An English Wastecoat.
Petacawsunnése, A little wastecoat.
Aûtah & aútawhun, Their apron.
Caukóanash, Stockins.
Nquittetiagáttash, A paire of stockins.
Mocússinass, &
Mockussinchass, Shooes.
Obs: Both these, Shoes and Stockins they make of their Deere skin
worne out; which yet being excellently tann’d by them, is excellent
for to travell in wet and snow; for it is so well tempered with
oyle, that the water cleane wrings out; and being hang’d up in their
chimney, they presently drie without hurt as myselfe hath often
proved.
Noonacominash, Too little.
Taubacóminash, Big enough.
Saunketíppo, or, Ashónaquo, A hat or Cap.
} The skin of a great beast
Moôse, } as big as an Ox, some
} call it a red Deere.
Wussuckhósu, Painted.
They also commonly paint these Moose and Deere skins for their
Summer wearing, with varietie of formes and colours.
Petouwássinug, Their Tobacco-bag,
which hangs at their necke, or sticks at their girdle, which is to
them instead of an English pocket.
Obs: Our English clothes are so strange unto them, and their bodies
inured so to endure the weather, that when (upon gift &c.) some of
them have had English cloathes, yet in a showre of raine, I have seen
them rather expose their skins to the wet, than their cloaths, and
therefore pull them off, and keep them drie.
Obs: While they are amongst the English they keep on the English
apparell, but pull off all, as soone as they come againe into their
owne Houses, and Company.
_Generall Observations of their Garments._
How deep are the purposes and Councells of God? What should bee the
reason of this mighty difference of One mans children that all the
Sonnes of men on this side the way (in Europe, Asia and Africa,)
should have such plenteous clothing for Body, for soule! and the rest
of Adams sonnes and Daughters on the other side, or America (some
thinke as big as the other three,) should neither have nor desire
clothing for their naked Soules, or Bodies.
More particular:
1. O what a Tyrant’s custome long,
How doe men make a push,
At what’s in use, though ne’re so fowle,
Without once shame or blush?
2. Many thousand proper Men and Women,
I have seen met in one place:
Almost all naked, yet not one,
Thought want of clothes disgrace.
3. Israell was naked, wearing clothes! }
The best clad English-man, }
Not cloth’d with Christ, more naked is } Ex. 32.
Than naked Indian. }
CHAP. XXI.
_Of Religion, the Soule, &c._
Manìt-manittówock, God, Gods.
Obs: He that questions whether God made the World, the Indians will
teach him. I must acknowledge I have received in my converse with
them, many Confirmations of those two great points, Heb. 11. 6. viz:
1. That God is.
2. That hee is a rewarder of all them that diligently seek him.
They will generally confesse that God made all: but then in speciall,
although they deny not that Englishmans God made English Men, and the
Heavens and Earth there! yet their Gods made them, and the Heaven,
and the Earth where they dwell.
Nummus quauna-mùckqun manit, God is angry with me.
Obs: I heard a poore Indian lamenting the losse of a child at
break of day, call up his Wife and children, and all about him to
Lamentation, and with abundance of teares cry out! O God thou hast
taken away my child: thou art angry with me: O turne thine anger from
me, and spare the rest of my children.
If they receive any good in hunting, fishing, Harvest, &c. they
acknowledge God in it.
Yea, if it be but an ordinary accident, a fall, &c. they will say God
was angry and did it.
Musquantum manit, God is angry.
But herein is their Misery.
