Excerpt from Annals of the American Revolution, or a Record of the Causes and Events Which Produced, and Terminated in the Establishment and Independence of the American Republic: To Which Is Prefixed a Summary Account of the First Settlement of the Country, and Some of the Principal Indian Wars
What subtlety so ever be in the Weroanees, and Priests; this opinion worketh so much m the common sort, that they have great respect to their Governors and as great care to avoid torment after death, and to enjoy bliss. Yet they have divers sorts of punishments, according to the offence, according to the greatness of the fact. And this is the sum of their religion, which I learned by having special familiarity with their priests, wherein they were not so sure grounded, nor gave such credit, but through conversing with us, they were brought into great doubts of their own, and no small admiration of ours of which many desired to learn more than we had means, for want of utterance, in their language to express.
Most thi 5 they saw with us, as mathematical instruments, sea-compasses, the virtue o the loadstone, perspective glasses, burning glasses, clocks to go of themselves; books, writing, guns, and such like; so far exceeded their capacities, that they thought they were rather the works of gods than men or at least the gods had taught us how to make them, which loved us so much better than them and caused many of them to give credit to what we spake concerning our God. In all places where I came, I did my best to make his immortal glory known. And I told them, although the biblei shewed them, contained all yet ofitself, it was not ofany such virtue as I thought the did conceive. Notwithstanding many would be glad to touch it, to kiss, an em brage it, to hold it to their breasts, and heads, and stroke all their body over wit it.
The King Mngina where we dwelt, would oft be with us at prayer. Twice he was exceeding sick and like to die. And doubting of any help from his priests, thinking he was in such danger for offending us and our God,.sent for some of us to pray, and be a means to our God, he might live with him after death. And so did many others in the like case. One other strange accident (leaving others) will I mention before I end, which moved the whole country that either knew or heard of us, to have us in wonderful admiration.
