To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To feede his flock unto thy ending day, Where (sheepe seek wolves) thy bosome lambs would catch; But night and day thou ceasest not to watch And warne with teares thy flock of cheaters vile, Who in sheepes cloathing would the weak beguile; With dropping dewes from thy lips Christ hath made Thy hearers eyes oft water springing blade. 108 WONDER-WORKING PROVIDENCE [1635 With pierced hearts they cry aloud and say, Shew us, sweet Shepheard, our salvations way, Thy lovely speech such ravishment doth... bring; Christ gives thee power to heale as well as sting. Thou gates sets ope for Christ thy King to enter. In hearts of many spirits joy to center. But mourne my Muse, hang downe thy head with woe, With teares, sighs, sobs lament thy Shepheard so.^ (WTiy ?) hee's in Heaven, but I one [on] Earth am left, More Earthly, 'cause of him I am bereft. Oh Christ why dost thou Shepheard take away. In erring times when sheepe most apt to stray. The many Souldiers and Officers of Christ that came over this yeare, moved some wonder in the mindes of those, whom he had beene pleased to give a great measure of discerning, yet here they fell abundantly short, deeming almost an impossibility of improving their Talents in this Wildernesse, the Indian-people being uncapable of under- standing their Language, the Englishe congregations that were already set downe being fully furnished with Teach- ing Elders, and that which was most strange they were perswaded they should meet with no enemies to oppose them, as if Christ would lead them forth into the Field in vaine.
