For of us it hath been written: 'I have given them thy word and the world hath hated them because they are not of the world.

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

If they have hated me they will hate you also; if they have persecuted me they will persecute you.' And, of the scoffers and the scorners, the wise ones of this world, whose wisdom and knowledge have perverted them, and who have said in their hearts, There is none beside them, it hath been written, yea, and will be fulfilled: The day of the Lord of Hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up, and he shall be brought low; and the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of man shall be brought low; and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day; and the idols shall he utterly abolish.' Of thee, John Ward, and of thy priestly brotherhood, I ask nothing; and for the much evil I have received, and may yet receive at your hands, may ye be rewarded like Alexander the coppersmith, every man according to his works." "Such damnable heresy," said Mr.Ward, addressing his neighbors, "must not be permitted to spread among the people.

My friends, we must send this man to the magistrates." The Familist placed his hands to his month, and gave a whistle, similar to that which was heard in the morning, and which preceded the escape of Wonolanset.

It was answered by a shout from the river; and a score of Indians came struggling up through the brush-wood.
"Vile heretic!" exclaimed Mr.Ward, snatching a musket from the hands of his neighbor, and levelling it full at the head of Martin; "you have betrayed us into this jeopardy." "Wagh! down um gun," said a powerful Indian, as he laid his rough hand on the shoulder of the minister.
