The rest we shall onely name, as 34. _Berwick_, alias _Chawun_. 35 _Oxford_, alias _Sagoquas_. _Falmouth_, alias _Totam_. 36. _Bristol._ 37. _Hull_, alias _Passataquack_. 38. _Dartmouth_, alias _Bohanna_. 39. _Norwich_, alias _Segocket_. 40. _Taunton_, alias _Cohannet_. 41. _Greens-Harbour._ 42. _Yarmouth._ 43. _Northam_, alias _Pascataqua_. 44. _Exeter._ 45. _Weymouth._ The chief Rivers of _New England_ are, _Pascataway_, _Sagadahoc_, _Pemmaquid_, _Agamentico_, _Merrimeck_, _Tachobacco_, _Mistick_, _Narraganset_, _Mishuwin_, _Connectacut_, _Newichwavoch_, _Kynebequy_. [Sidenote: The present state of the Natives.] The _Indian_ Natives are now become so weak in number, and in some measure reduc’d to a dread of the growth of the _English_, that of late years they have not practis’d any thing against them, or at least, not justifi’d them by numbers in open Hostility, willing rather to purchase their Peace and buy off Injuries committed by them at the Price of their Lands and Possessions. And although care and expence hath been many years apply’d to the Conversion of _Indians_ to the Faith, however inclinable they seem’d at first to the imbracing thereof, not then so well discerning the insincerity of its Professors; yet there are so few of late who do imbrace it or persevere in it (wanting a good Foundation for instruction in Moral Honesty, and perhaps the example of it in those that undertake to instruct them in Religion;) that _Christianity_ to them seems a _Chimera_, Religion a design to draw them from the libidinous Pleasures of a lazy Life; however, some there are who make Profession of _Christianity_, and some who are educated in the Schools of _New Cambridge_, to entitle them to Preach the Gospel in their own Language. One great hindrance to the Propagation of the Faith amongst those _Heathens_, is the diversity of their Languages; for it is commonly known, that the Natives themselves do not understand one another, if their Habitations are but at forty Miles distance. [Sidenote: Church-Government among the _English_.] Their Church-Government and Discipline is Congregational and Independent, yet in some places more rigid than others, for in many Towns there yet remains some leaven of _Presbytery_, from which Sects our _Independency_ had its Original; insomuch, that one of the most remarkable Opposers of _Episcopal Government_, Doctor _Bastwick_ (who, spoil’d so much Paper in railing at the Church Government of _England_, and crying up _Liberty of Conscience_) finding the Apostacy of his own Brethren of _Boston_ from their first Principles, and his, generally prevail over them, even to the denying that liberty to others, which they seem’d only to aim at, did write a large and vehement _Dehortatory Epistle_ to them from their _New Lights_ or _Paths_, saying, _That according to their present Tenents, they could not pretend to be, or other than a Christian Synagogue_.
