Excerpt from The Clear Sunshine of the Gospel Breaking Forth Upon the Indians in New-England: Or, an Historicall Narration of Gods

And because to You an accounts is first due of the successe of the Gospel in those darke corners of the World, which have been so much enligtened by Your favour, enlivened by Your resolutions, encouraged by Your fore-past indeavours for God, & hope stil being parts of Your selves, to be further strengthened by Youre benigne aspects and bountifull influences on them.

The present troubles have not so far obliterated and worn out the sad impressions which former times have made upon our spirits, but we can sadly remember those destructive designes which were on foot, and carryed on for the Introduction of so great evils both into Church and State, In order to which it was the endeavour of the Contrivers and Promoters of those designs, to wast the number of the godly, as those who would never be brought to comply in such destructive enterprises, which was attempted by banishing and forcing some abroad, by burthening and afflicting all at home.
