Honourable Gentlemen.
I Have been moved by divers able and godly men here with us to propound unto your pious consideration, whether it be not needful for the better instruction of the Indians amongst us in the true knowledge of God, to get the whole Bible of the old and new Testament, which is already Translated into the Indian tongue, to be printed; Many here with us Divines and others judge it a thing that will be acceptable to God, and very profitable for the poor Heathens. If your selves do so esteem of it too, it will be necessary to provide paper and letters and such things as may further the work, as also a Journey man Printer to be helpful under Mr Greene our Printer to expedite the work. This is only propounded to your serious consideration, which if God please to put into your hearts to further, being so good a work; It will rejoice the hearts of many godly ones here, and I doubt not of many there also.
