Pauwau. We have not only pleasures, but also Prayers and Sacrifices; we beat and a•••ict our selves to pacify our gods, and when •e be •ick w• use such ways to recover our health, and to obtain all such things as we want, and desire to obtain from our gods.

Pium. Your Prayers and Pauwavings are worshipping of the Devil, and no• of God, and they are among the greatest of your sins. Your •urthers, lusts, stealing, lying, &c. they are great sins, your Pauwavings are worse sins, because by them you worship the Devil instead of God. When you Pauwau's use Physic by Roots, and such other t•ings which God •ath made for that purpose, that is no sin, you do well to use Physic for your recovery from sickness; but your pr•ying to, and worshipping the Devil, that is your great si•, which now God calls you to forsake. Use only such Remedies as God hath appointed, and pray only to God; this we call you to do, and this is the way of true wisdom.
