First, many Gods: they have given me the Names of thirty-seven, which I have, all which in their solemne Worships they invocate: as,
| Kautántowwit, | The great South West God, |
to whose House all soules goe, and from whom came their Corne, Beanes, as they say.
| Wompanànd, | The Easterne God. |
| Chekesuwànd, | The Westerne God. |
| Wunnanaméanit, | The Northerne God. |
| Sowwanànd, | The Southerne God. |
| Wetuómanit, | The house God. |
Even as the Papists have their He and Shee Saint Protectors as St. George, St. Patrick, St. Dennis, Virgin Mary, &c.
| Squàuanit, | The Womans God. |
| Muckquachuckquànd, | The Childrens God. |
Obs: I was once with a Native dying of a wound, given him by some of the murtherous English (who rob’d him and run him through with a Rapier,) from whom in the heat of his wound, he at present escaped from them, but dying of his wound, they suffered Death at new Plymouth, in New England, this Native dying call’d much upon Mackquachuckquànd, which of other Natives I understood, (as they believed) had appeared to the dying young man, many yeares before, and bid him whenever he was in distresse call upon him.
Secondly, as they have many of these fained Deities: so worship they the Creatures in whom they conceive doth rest some Deitie:
| Keesuckquànd, | The Sun God. |
| Nanepaûshat, | The Moone God. |
| Paumpágussit, | The Sea. |
| Yotáanit, | The fire God. |
