Wunnanaméanit, The Northerne God. Sowwanànd, The Southerne God. Wetuómanit, The house God. Even as the Papists have their He and Shee Saint Protectors as St. George, St. Patrick, St. Dennis, Virgin Mary, &c. Squàuanit, The Womans God. Muckquachuckquànd, The Childrens God. Obs: I was once with a Native dying of a wound, given him by some of the murtherous English (who rob’d him and run him through with a Rapier,) from whom in the heat of his wound, he at present escaped from them, but dying of his wound, they suffered Death at new Plymouth, in New England, this Native dying call’d much upon Mackquachuckquànd, which of other Natives I understood, (as they believed) had appeared to the dying young man, many yeares before, and bid him whenever he was in distresse call upon him. Secondly, as they have many of these fained Deities: so worship they the Creatures in whom they conceive doth rest some Deitie: Keesuckquànd, The Sun God. Nanepaûshat, The Moone God. Paumpágussit, The Sea. Yotáanit, The fire God. Supposing that Deities be in these, &c. When I have argued with them about their Fire-God: can it say they be, but this fire must be a God, or Divine power, that out of a stone will arise in a Sparke, and when a poore naked Indian is ready to starve with cold in the House, and especially in the Woods, often saves his life, doth dresse all our Food for us, and if it be angry will burne the House about us, yea if a sparke fall into the drie wood, burnes up the Country, (though this burning of the Wood to them they count a Benefit, both for destroying of vermin, and keeping downe the Weeds and thickets?) _Præsentem narrat quælibet herba Deum._ Every little Grasse doth tell, The sons of Men, there God doth dwell. Besides there is a generall Custome amongst them, at the apprehension of any Excellency in Men, Women, Birds, Beasts, Fish, &c. to cry out Manittóo, that is, it is a God, as thus if they see one man excell others in Wisdome, Valour, Strength, Activity &c. they cry out Manittóo, A God. And therefore when they talke amongst themselves of the English ships, and great buildings, of the plowing of their Fields, and especially of Bookes and Letters, they will end thus: Manittôwock, They are Gods: Cummanittôo, You are a God, &c. A strong Conviction naturall in the soule of man, that God is filling all things, and places, and that all Excellencies dwell in God, and proceed from him, and that they only are blessed who have that Jehovah their portion. Nickómmo, A Feast or Dance. Of this Feast they have publike, and private and that of two sorts. First in sicknesse, or Drouth, or Warre, or Famine.
