At the close of the book, Mr. Eliot speaks of his work as follows : 
"I have DOW finished what I shall do at present; and in a word or | two to 
satisfie the prudent enquirer how I found out these new wayes | of Grammar 
which no other Learned Language (so farre as Iknow)nsetb; I thus inform 
him: God first put into my heart a compassion | over their poor souls, and a 
desire to teach them to know Christ, and to | bring them into his kin-dome 
Then presently I found out (by Gods | wise providence) a pregnant witted youu.T 
man, who had been a ser- | vant in an English house, who pretty well understood 
our Language, | better that he could speak it, and well understood his own Lan- 
guage: | Him I made my interpreter * * * *."
