Kinsm. Welcome Sontim; welcome my Friends and Kinsmen all: here is a Kinsman and friend of ours come from Natick to visit us, he prayeth for us, and expresseth love to our Souls, which you take no thought or care about. He telleth us of •ight and Wisdom which they learn out of the Word of ⟨p. 18⟩God, which we are strangers unto. He telleth us of Hell fire and Torments, to be the reward of our sins which we walk in. He telleth us of Repentance for our sins, and of Faith to believe in Christ for a pardon, and of Salvation in heaven with eternal glory. He telleth us of the danger of living as we do. He telleth u• of a better way of living then yet we know. Many such things we have discoursed, which are beyond my understanding. I am well pleased with his love, but I know not what to say to his Persuasions: for which cause I have entreated your company, that we may confer together about matters of so great importance, and that we may be mutual helps to each other for our best good.
