The beginnings and foundations of the Spaniard in the Southern parts of this vast continent, being laid in the blood of nineteen Millions of poor innocent Natives (as Acosta the Jesuit a bird of their own nest relates the story) shall certainly therefore be utterly rooted up by some revenging hand; and when he is once disposest of his Golden Mansions and Silver Mines, it may be then the oppressed remnant in those coasts also may come in. In the mean while if it be the good pleasure of Christ to look upon any of the worst and meanest of these outcasts in these Coasts of New-England, let us not despise this day of small things, but as the Jews did of old, so let us now cry mightily to God and say, and sing, Let the people praise thee O God, yea let all the people praise thee, then shall the earth bring forth her increase, and God even our God will bless us.
