Wife. What you put down the knee for? What you hold up the hand for? What you say? Who you speak to? What is that?
W.A. My dear, I bow my knees in token of my submission to Him that made me: I said O to him, as you call it, and as you say your old men do to their idol Benamuckee; that is, I prayed to him.
Wife. What you say O to him for?
W.A. I prayed to him to open your eyes and your understanding, that you may know him, and be accepted by him.
Wife. Can he do that too?
W.A. Yes, he can; he can do all things.
Wife. But he no hear what you say?
W.A. Yes, he has bid us pray to him; and promised to hear us.
Wife. Bid you pray? When he bid you? How he bid you? What you hear him speak?
W.A. No, we do not hear him speak; but he has revealed himself many ways to us.
