Weémat, A brother. They hold the band of brother-hood so deare, that when one had committed a murther and fled, they executed his brother; and ’tis common for a brother to pay the debt of a brother deceased. Neémat, My brother. Wéticks, & A sister. Weésummis, Wematíttuock, They are brothers. Cutchashematitín? How many brothers have you? Natóncks, My cousin. Kattòncks, Your cousin. Watòncks, A cousin. Nullóquasso, My ward or pupill. Wattonksíttuock, They are cousins. Kíhtuckquaw, A virgin marriageable. Their Virgins are distinguished by a bashful falling downe of their haire over their eyes. Towiùwock, Fatherlesse children. There are no beggars amongst them, nor fatherlesse children unprovided for. Tackqíuwock, Twins. Their _affections_, especially to their children, are very strong; so that I have knowne a Father take so grievously the losse of his _childe_, that he hath cut and stob’d himselfe with _griefe_ and _rage_. This extreme _affection_, together with want of _learning_, makes their children sawcie, bold and undutifull. I once came into a _house_ and requested some _water_ to drinke; the _father_ bid his sonne (of some 8 yeeres of age) to fetch some _water_: the _boy_ refused, and would not stir; I told the _father_ that I would correct my _child_, if he should so disobey me, &c. Upon this the father took up a sticke, the _boy_ another, and flew at his father: upon my perswasion, the poor _father_ made him smart a little, threw downe his stick, and run for _water_ and the _father_ confessed the benefit of _correction_, and the evil of their too indulgent _affections_. _From their Relations._--Observation generall. In the _minds_ of depraved mankinde, are yet to be founde _Natures distinctions_, and _Natures affections_. More particular: The Pagans wild confesse the bonds Of married chastitie: How vild are Nicolâitans that hold Of Wives communitie? How kindly flames of nature burne In wild humanitie? Naturall affections who wants, is sure Far from Christianity. Best nature’s vaine, he’s blest that’s made A new and rich partaker Of divine Nature of his God, And blest eternall Maker. CHAP.
