Paponaumsúog, A winter fish, which comes up in the brookes and rivulets; some call them Frost fish, from their comming up from the Sea into fresh Brookes, in times of frost and snow. Qunôsuog, A fresh fish, which the Indians break the ice in fresh ponds, when they take also many other sorts: for, to my knowledge the Country yeelds many sorts of other fish, which I mention not. _The generall Observation of Fish._ How many thousands of Millions of those under water, sea inhabitants, in all Coasts of the world, preach to the sonnes of men on shore, to adore their glorious Maker, by presenting themselves to Him as themselves (in a manner) present their lives from the wild Ocean, to the very doores of men, their fellow creatures in New-England. More particular. What Habacuck once spake, mine eyes Have often seene most true, The greater Fishes devoure the lesse, And cruelly pursue. Forcing them through coves and creekes To leape on driest sand, To gaspe on earthie element, or die By wildest Indians hand. Christs little ones must hunted be Devour’d; yet rise as Hee. And eate up those which now a while Their fierce devourers be. CHAP. XX. _Of their Nakednesse and Clothing._ Paúskesu, Naked. Pauskesítchck, Naked men and women. Nippóskíss, I am naked. They have a two-fold nakednesse: First, ordinary and constant, when although they have a Beasts skin, or an English mantle on, yet that covers ordinarily but their hinder parts and all the foreparts from top to toe, (except their secret parts, covered with a little Apron, after the patterne of their and our first Parents) I say all else open and naked. Their male children goe starke naked, and have no Apron untill they come to ten or twelve yeers of age; their Female they, in a modest blush cover with a little Apron of an hand breadth from their very birth. Their second nakednesse is when their men often abroad and both men and women within doores, leave off their beasts skin, or English cloth and so (excepting their little apron) are wholly naked; yet but few of the women but will keepe their skin or cloth (though loose) or neare to them ready to gather it up about them. Custome hath used their minds and bodies to it, and in such a freedom from any wantonnesse, that I have never seen that wantonnesse amongst them, as, (with griefe) I have heard of in Europe. Nippóskenitch, I am rob’d of my coat. Nippóskenick ewò, He takes away my Coat.
