Drinking-houses, have been a most undoing Stumbling-block of Iniquity, in the midst of us. The Judgments of God, brought us into a Time, when Unsufferable Villainies were perpetrated every where, under the pretence of the Excise.

Those Times, are now over-indeed. But our Indian Wars are not over yet! We have too far degenerated into Indian Vices. The Vices of the Indians are these; They are very Lying Wretch and they are very Lazy Wretches; and they are out of measure Indulgent unto their Children; there is no Family Government among them. We have shamefully Indianized, in all those Abominable Things. Now, the Judgments of God, have Employed Indian Hatchets, to wound us, no doubt for these our Indian Vices.
