Wab. We are surprised by the night, we must rest under these Trees this night. I do account this day well spent, though we have made but little progress toward the place of our intendment: but I have been about the work I came abroad upon, though not the persons I intended. Thus God doth over-rule the ways of men; he foreseeth and ordereth that which we had no thoughts upon: and therefore in that we have spent this day in such Conference and Discourse, wherein we have seen so much of the presence of Christ with us; let us now spend this night in prayers and praises unto the Lord, who hath found us before we sought for him. You were going about another business, you little thought of finding Jesus Christ by the way, and finding mercy to your Soul, a pardon of your sins, and to become a praying Indian.

And then, that the Lord should open unto me a possibility of escape, that a ransom and remedy might be found by the infinite wisdom and mercy of God; and that Jesus Christ had not only accomplished that great work, but offered the fruit and benefit of it to me and called me to rest in him, and to be trust my Soul with him for pardon of all my sins, and for eternal life in Jesus Christ. These things are matter of my admiration, and shall be to all eternity. My life remaining shall be spent in admiring, and in obeying and suffering, as you have now taught me; I shall account nothing too dear for Christ, who hath not accounted his own most precious life too dear for me.
