Túnna kukkowémis, Where slept you? Awaun wéick kukkouĕmis, At whose house did you sleep? I once travailed to an Iland of the wildest in our parts, where in the night an Indian (as he said) had a vision or dream of the Sun (whom they worship for a God) darting a Beame into his Breast which he conceived to be the Messenger of his Death: This poore Native call’d his Friends and neighbours, and prepared some little refreshing for them, but himselfe was kept waking and Fasting in great Humiliations and Invocations for 10 dayes and nights: I was alone (having travailed from my Barke, the wind being contrary) and little could I speake to them to their understandings especially because of the change of their Dialect or manner of Speech from our neighbours: yet so much (through the help of God) I did speake, of the _True_ and _living only Wise God_, of the Creation: of Man, and his _fall_ from God, &c. that at parting many burst forth, _Oh when will you come againe, to bring us some more newes of this God?_ _From their Sleeping: The Observation generall._ Sweet rest is not confind to soft Beds, for, not only God gives his beloved sleep on hard lodgings: but also Nature and Custome gives sound sleep to these Americans on the Earth, on a Boord or Mat. Yet how is _Europe_ bound to God for better lodging, &c. More particular: 1. God gives them sleep on Ground, on Straw, on Sedgie Mats or Boord: When English Softest Beds of Downe, sometimes no sleep affoord. 2. I have knowne them leave their House and Mat, to lodge a Friend or stranger, When Jewes and Christians oft have sent Christ Jesus to the Manger. 3. ’Fore day they invocate their Gods, Though Many False and New: O how should that God worshipt be, who is but One and True?
