And indeed I can- not but think it a peculiar interposition of divine good- ness, that while on one side a nation fallen from the true Catholic religion barred the entrance of the faith to these regions, and on the other a fierce war between sav- age nations, and on their account with the French did the same, I should have fallen into the hands of these Indians, who, by the will of God, reluctantly, and, I may say, against their will, have, thus far, spared my life, that through me, though unwo...rthy, those might be instruct- < ed, believe and be baptized, who are predestined to eternal life. Since the time when I was taken, I have Ixiptized seventy, children, young and old, of five differ- ent nations and languages, that of every tribe, and peo- ple, and tongue, they might stand in the sight of the Lamb. Apoc. Vii. 9. Therefore do I daily bow my knees to the Lord and OCEAN AND WILDERNESS. 61 to the Father of my Lord, that, if it be for his glory, he may conlound all the designs of the Europeans and savages, for ransoming me or sending me bark to the whites.
