When I came to them, I found them engaged in their frolic: but, through divine goodness, I got them to break up, and attend to my preaching. Yet still there appeared nothing of the special power of God among them preached again to them in the after noon; and observed them to be more sober than before: but still saw nothing special among them ; from whence Satan took occasion to tempt and buffet me with these suggestions, There is no God ; or, if there be, he is not able to convert the Indians b...efore they have more knowledge. &c. I was very weak and weary, and my soul borne down with perplexity; but still felt determined to wait upon God for the conversion of the heathen, though the devil tempted me to the contrary.
