Boat, and when the_ Indian _bowed downe to the feet of the other two, and of the woman, they embraced him courteously, and talked a good while with him. After that, the_ Indian _bid_ Montezinus _to be of good courage, and not to looke that they should come a second time to him, till he had fully learned the things which were told him at the first time_. _Then those two men comming on each side of_ Montezinus, _they spoke in Hebrew, the 4th. ver. of_ Deut. 6. Semah Israel, adonai Elohenu adonai ehad; _that is_, Heare O Israel, the Lord our God is one God. _Then the_ Indian _Interpreter being asked, how it was in_ Spanish, _they spoke what followes to_ Montezinus, _making a short pause between every particular_. 1 Our Fathers are _Abraham_, _Isaac_, _Jacob_, and _Israel_, and they signified these foure by the three fingers lifted up; then they joyned _Reuben_, adding another finger to the former three. 2 We will bestow severall places on them who have a minde to live with us. 3 _Joseph_ dwels in the midst of the Sea, they making a signe by two fingers put together, and then parted them. 4 They said (speaking fast) shortly some of us will goe forth to see, and to tread under foot; at which word they winked, and stamped with their feet. 5 One day we shall all of us talke together, they saying, Ba, ba, ba; and we shall come forth as issuing out of our Mother the earth. 6 A certaine Messenger shall goe forth. 7 _Franciscus_ shall tell you somewhat more of these things, they making a signe with their finger, that much must not be spoken. 8 Suffer us that we may prepare ourselves; and they turning their hands and faces every way, thus prayed to God, DO NOT STAY LONG. 9 Send twelve men, they making a signe, that they would have men that had beards, and who are skilfull in writing. _The Conference being ended, which lasted a whole day, the same men returned on Wednesday, and Thursday, and spake the same things againe, without adding a word; at last_ Montezinus _being weary that they did not answer what he asked them, nor would suffer him to goe over the river, he cast himselfe into their Boat; but he being forced out againe, fell into the River, and was in danger to be drowned, for he could not swim; but being got out of the water, the rest being angry, said to him; attempt not to passe the River, nor to enquire after more then we tel you; which the_ Indian _interpreted to him, the rest declaring the same things both by signs, and words_. _You must observe, that all those three dayes the Boat stayed not in the same place, but when those foure who came went away, other foure came, who all as with one mouth, repeated all the fore-mentioned nine particulars, there came and went about three hundred._
