Year: 2010

Some time ago I had heard of the scattered remnants of the Oneida and Mohawk Tribes who still retained the use of our Liturgy, once taught them by the British Missionaries when they resided under that government. It was my most anxious wish to see and converse with them. This wish it pleased God most graciously to gratify. I paid them a visit, setting off from Mr. Woodward’s after divine service and a sermon. We lodged at Mr. Coles’s, the last house in the white settlements.

The first Evangelist, who was chosen by God,

[was] named Matthew, whom the Saviour chose

from being a worldly taxgatherer to be a spiritual Evangelist,

and he was one of the twelve servants of God;

he wrote the Gospel first in Hebrew,

which is set in order in the first book.
