(h) The sacred and solemn Exercises performed in the Indian Congregations.
MY Fathers Account of the Exercises performed in the Indian-Congregations, will tell us what a Blessed Fruit our Eliot saw of his Labours, before he went unto those Rewards which God had Reserved in the Heavens for him.

And some of the English were helpful to them, upon ⟨p. 116⟩this account; among whom I ought particularly to mention that Learned, Pious, and Charitable Gentleman, the Worshipful Samuel S••••. E••; who at his own charge built a Meeting house fo• one of the Indian Congregations, and gave those Indians cause to pray for him under that ch• racter, He loveth Our Nation, for he hath built as a Synagogue.
