 I. That they luiglit iinlwcr the main Eiul of their hicorpoi.1t ion, they 
 have adua'Iy CommillionM One Millionary, and inaile Prcfeti". to b- 
 thers at a great E>fpciicc ; and an.- Solinting Maintenance from thi' Crown

 tieglcift longer to Inftrudt ihem in the Faith of our Blcffed Redeemer, as we 
 iuc able, when Gud has fo wofidciftilly opcn'd their Eyes, their Hearts, and 
 their very Tcjiigues, fo as to call to ns, asihofe of Mncedonia did to the /Ipo-

 ab!e arc the Words of one ofrheir Sachom ox Kj'igs, in the Name of 
 the reft, in which hey fcnlibly expreit their Concern for fuch a Million, 
 to the Commilfioners for the Indir.n yl/f-tiis in Albany, June iS. 1700. 
 as appears by an original Extrai^t of the Eivl of BcUamont's to tht- Lords 
 Commlfficners of r»7j<Vf and Plantntiutis, OAohc: 13. 1700, That they 
 highly challenge ;i Place in this Account, to di' exceeding Conifon of all 
 fuch good Chriftians as hope that then l{cdrtnption draxrs 7icar. IVe are 
 vove come to trade, faith He, nnd not to fpcak, ff Religion : only this much 
 I tmtjl /"jv, all the while I xpik here before i went ti Canada, / 7ifvcr heard

 the Chrijlitm Faith ; and vec foall be gUd to hear if nt Ifjl )ou tire /> pioufly 
 inclined totnl{e feme Prtins to ijifirucl your Indians in the Chrifiian Religion ; 
 1 vet li not fay but it mny induce ft me to return to their Native Country : I 
 vclp-> it I: (id been dene fconer, that )nn had had Minijiers to injhu'cl •<our In- 
 dians in the Chiftlan Faith, I douht whether a ly of ui had dcjuted our 
 Native Count I y : But Imujl jny, I iwifuelybchcldcn to '/;? French r/ Canada, 
 Jor the Light I received to kjioxv there was n Saviour born for Mankln.'. j nnd 
 ficiv we ate taught God is eveiy where, /tnd n>e c.inbe injiruiiei at Canada, 
 Dow.iganhac, or the iitmofl Paits rf the Earth, as weU as here. 
 
 And in a later Conference with the Lord Cornbmy thofe Five Sr.c.H'ms or 
 Ki^gi of ihc Lotjucls, promiled him a: Albany, Obedience to the iuith of 
 C.'/'ny?, told him, they were ^/rtf/^c/'f/ir the SunfhinedinEn^hudfinefyJtig 
 William's Death ; admired at firft that we lliould have a S<jun Sr.,\m, viz. 
 A Woman King, but they hcprd fl:e rvaild be a Gwd Mother, and fc. I them 
 inne to Teach them Heligion iH we/las T, affcl^ ; then fent fome of thcii ( Miintry 
 Prcfentsto HerMajelly, Signed the Treaty, and made the Cuvcnant fo fine 
 { M^ they laid) that Thunder and Ligl thingfhould rot break^it en their Parts. 
 
 Kor ha^^ the Society turned the\r Thoughts only on die Indians in the 
 Northern Parts of the Englifh Dominions, but have fent a!fo One Miiiionary 
 for the Service of the Teomanfce India'/s to the South o( Carolina, who '.a\ ing 
 been lately engaged in a War uiih the Spaniards, and cvciy Day i.. Dan- 
 ger of an Invafion from them, were not in a Condition torc<rcivc Infhu-

 tlicm, bur as foon as Vis pracflicablc to treat with them, there are AiTnances 
 he Ihall leave the NeighlxjurhooJ, wheie he is inftrudling many S uls as 
 much negledled as the former, v.amcly, ihc Negroes of Goofcrecl{. 
 
 z. The Society has not only had a Regard to Infidels, but, as be ometh 
 Chiiftiars, has raken Care of its o\^'n Conniryi-'iMen ; in iiiinding i( Mini- 
 Iters wall lome Schooln) ittcrs and Cateehifbt'mTlfgond- Atfo'iiance^to the 
 fevcral Places along the Continent of North- America, where they were moft 
 wanted, and the Hatveft is ri^c for fuch Lalx»urers, who will faihfully 
 refift and oppofc the Progrefs o4' Athelfm, Infidelity, Quakfrifm, An.inomi- 
 anifm, Igtiotancc, and Immorality, which have hitherto difmally O^'Crfpread 
 thofe Infant Churches. 
 
 3, They have made fuitablc Provifion alfo fc^r fcmc of the IJlands, thofe 
 too much negleded Parts of Her Maj';rft\ 's Territories, by a Supflv of 
 Five Minifters, without any Charge to the People, and have othei wife

 Facflories and P. aces to which we Trade in MU, Africa, and Europe it Iclf, 
 where they live as it were without God in 'he World, to the great Re-

 gr.acioiilly dilpofed to employ the Surplufajge to his Honour ancTt/lory, can- 
 not row want an O; portunity of doing lo in the moft excellent and ac-

 Since then this prcar Work of maintaining the Chriftian Religion and 
 propagating the Gofpel in iowii^n i^rt>r;, calK ah ud forthc utmoft Airiftance^ 
 and appears i.p'.n the View to be worth all our Pains ai.u Coll ; It is to 
 le hoped, 
 
 III. That tlu' Society will mi-et with hiiciMe Aid and Eniouragcmcnc 
 to ciub'c them 10 go thro' io glorious a Work as is lunv betorc them, of 
 reducing ii tinite Nunibcrs both uf V.ig.ins and nominal Chrijlinus from the 
 Power of Satan unro Goil : and therefore, 
 
 I. As Her Sacred M.ij.fty has hern a Ihining Example to Her Siibjfiils 
 in this Caiife of C.I d, by extcr.ding Her Royal Bounty and Charity to- 
 wards it: So It is hcauily dcfirM, 
 
 I. Th.u .ill Mcr good Subjcdls, in their fcveral Stations, will be for- 
 ward in their Pioporrions to promote God's Honour and the good of Souls. 
 
 That the Kobility and Gentry , (as fome have already done to their Ho- 
 nour) would all of them add a peculiar Luftrc to their Charaders, by afljft- 
 ing lb noble a Dcfign with a Liberal Hand. 
 
 That Tvlinifters of extraordinary Qualifications, Men of Temper, of 
 Prudence, of Learning, Vicui Convrrfation, Aff'.tiion to the Eftablilhd Go- 
 vernment, and above all, o\ Apjldical T^cal, would A-illingly cHor them 
 felvcs 10 fo great a Harveft, where the L.ibiwos are feir. 
 
 That the Merchants and rich Traders, who have reap'd their Temporal 
 things plentifully by the Labours and Pains of thofe poor ignorant or mifled 
 Creatures, would be at laft prevail'd upon to jm to them Spiritual things 
 in as great abundance. In ihort. 
 
 That .ill People to whom this Slotification Ihall come, (tho'not by waj 
 of & Brief or General CcllciUin, as has been praiflifed in thefe Cafes witl 
 gof ' Succcfs in other KinpdomsJ would give their helping Hand, as thej 
 underftand and value the Benefits of the Gofpcl, and as a Token of the^ 
 Thankfiilncls for the fame. 
 
 It is more to be defircd than expcifted, that many Ihould rife up to il 
 Example of an unknown Lady, who has calt 1 00c/. into the Treafurf

 Nor ha'' the Society turned their Thoiiphts only en the hdhvis in the
