Obs: In that place these Fowle breed abundantly, and by reason of their delicate Food (especially in Strawberrie time when they pick up whole large Fields of the old grounds of the Natives), they are a delicate fowle, and because of their abundance, and the facility of killing them, they are and may be plentifully fed on. _Sachim_: a little Bird about the bignesse of a swallow, or lesse, to which the Indians give that name because of its _Sachim_ or Princelike courage and Command over greater Birds, that a Man shall often see this small Bird pursue and vanquish and put to flight the Crow and other Birds farre bigger than itselfe. Sowwanakitauwaw, They go to the Southward. That is the saying of the Natives, when the Geese and other Fowle at the approach of Winter betake themselves in admirable Order and discerning their Course even all the night long. Chepewâukitaûog, They fly Northward. That is when they returne in the Spring. There are abundance of singing Birds whose names I have little as yet enquired after, &c. The Indians of Martins vineyard, at my late being amongst them, report generally, and confidently, of some Islands, which lie off from them to Sea, from whence every Morning early, certaine Fowles come and light amongst them, and returne at Night to lodging, which Island or Islands are not yet discovered, though probably, by other Reasons they give, there is Land, &c. Taûnek-kaûog, Crane, Cranes. Wushówunan, The hawke. Which the Indians keep tame about their houses to keepe the little Birds from their Corne. _The generall Observation of Fowle._ How sweetly doe all the severall sorts of Heavens Birds, in all Coasts of the World, preach unto men the prayse of their Makers Wisedome, Power, and Goodnesse, who feedes them and their young ones Summer and Winter with their several sorts of Foode: although they neither sow nor reape, nor gather into Barnes? More particularly: If Birds that neither sow nor reape Nor store up any food, Constantly find to them and theirs A maker kind and good! If Man provide eke for his Birds, In Yard, in Coops, in Cage. And each Bird spends in songs and Tunes, His little time and Age! What care will Man, what care will God For’s wife and children take? Millions of Birds and Worlds will God Sooner than his, forsake.
