Mr Wilson spake to this purpose, though they have all spoken well of Jesus Christ, in their Confessions, and especially the last viz: Monotunkani•, yet he desired further to hear how they were instructed in the knowledge of Christ. This question touching Christ, I called Piumbathou to answer, and his answer was to satisfaction: and then many other Catechetical questions were propounded, which would be too long to rehearse, as touching Grace, Ordinances, Sacraments, Baptism and the Lords Supper: about Repentance and Faith, all which they readily answered, & so as that there was no reply. ⟨p. 75⟩Nish•hko•, answered the question what Faith is, Mr Allin asked him, whether he had that Faith in his heart, which he now spake off; to which after a pause, he answered to this purpose, that he feared himself about it, and if he spake, he must say no! but he hoped in the Lords mercy that he would work it in him, and help him to believe.
