I once in travell lodged at a house, at which in my returne I hoped to have lodged againe the next night, but the house was gone in that interim, and I was glad to lodge under a tree: The men make the poles or stakes, but the women make and set up, take downe, order and carry the _Mats_ and householdstuffe. Observation in generall. The sociablenesse of the nature of Man appears in the wildest of them, who love society; families, co-habitation, and consociation of houses and towns together. More Particular. 1. How busie are the sonnes of men? How full their heads and hands? What noyse and tumults in our own, And eke in Pagan lands? 2. Yet I have found lesse noyse, more peace In wilde America, Where women quickly build the house, And quickly move away. 3. English and Indians busie are, In parts of their abode; Yet both stand idle, till God’s call Sets them to worke for God. CHAP. VII. _Of their Persons and parts of Body._ Uppaquóntup, The head. Nuppaquóntup, My head. Wésheck, The hayre. Wuchechepúnnock, A great bunch of hayre bound up behind. Múppacuck, A long locke. Obs. Yet some cut their haire round, and some as low and as short as the sober English; yet I never saw any so to forget nature it selfe in such excessive length and monstrous fashion, as to the shame of the English Nation, I now (with grief) see my Countrey-men in England are degenerated unto. Wuttip, The Braine.--Obs. In the braine their opinion is, that the soule (of which we shall speake in the Chapter of Religion) keeps her chiefe seat and residence: For the temper of the braine in quick apprehensions and accurate judgements (to say no more) the most high and soveraign God and Creator, hath not made them inferiour to Europeans. The Mauquaûogs, or Men-eaters that live two or three hundred miles West from us, make a delicious monstrous dish of the head and brains of their enemies; which yet is no barre (when the time shall approach) against Gods call and their repentance and who knowes (but) a greater love to the Lord Jesus? great sinners forgiven love much.
