For, First; Shall our Heavenly Father put a Rod into the Hands of base Indians, and bid Them ⟨p. 234⟩to Scourge His Children! Oh! the Humiliation of such Rebellious Children! Oh! the Provocation that certainly such Sons and such Daughters have given Him! It was a very Humbling thing, tha• the Lord Threatened unto His Provoking Sons & Daughters, in Deut. 32.21. I will move them to Jealousy, with those which are not a People; I will provoke them to Anger with a Foolish Nation ▪ Should a Child of yours be Refractory, and you, Sir, should bid a Negro or an Indian Slave in your House, Go, Take that Child, and Scourge him till you fetch Blood of him! Surely, this would be to Humble him unto the Uttermost. Thus doth thy God Humble thee, O New-England, by putting thee over, into the Vile Hands of those which are not a People, but a Foolish Nation.
