938 NORTH AMERICAN LINGUISTICS. 
[Eliot (Jolrn)] — continued. 
sheet. This seems to be a later edition, as it contains several slight changes 
and a few additional words and Scripture references. 
"The upper half of the page contains nine articles of belief, with Scripture 
proofs. Below (separated by a single rule across the page) are, in five articles, 
a confession of faith in Christ, and a form of Covenant, prepared for the use of 
Indian converts: 'Wee that dwell in this Towne called [a blank space] are 
gladly willing to bind ourselves to God, to Remember the Sabbath day,' etc., 
and 'give ourselves and our children to Jesus Christ, to walk with Him in 
Church Order, so long as we live.' 
"The first Indian Church was gathered in 1660, at Natick ; but Mr. Eliot had 
proposed the admission of the Indian converts to church estate, eight or nine 
years before this. Some peculiarities of orthography in the Indian version of 
this 'covenanting confession' seem to indicate that it was printed l>efore the 
Bible. It is alluded to by Cotton Mather (Magnalia, iii, 3, p. 178): 'Unto the 
general engagements of a covenant with God which it was his desire to bring 
the Indians into, he added a particular article, wherein they bind themselves 
... to remember the Sabbath-day, to keep it holy, as long as we live.'" — Trum-

This copy, which is in the Congregational Library, Boston, is slightly imper- 
fect in the lower right-hand corner. A heliotype facsimile of this broadside was 
made a few years ago, a copy of which is in my possession. 
1199 a and Rawson (Grindal). [Indian Primer.] L. 
32°. In Indian and English, on opposite pages, with numbers doubled ; 
wanting beginning and end, and 16 other leaves. It contains pp. recto 18, 19-26 
doubled, verso 27, recto 30, 31-44 doubled, verso 45, recto 47, 48-50 doubled, 
verso 51, recto 53, 54-60 doubled, verso 61, recto 67, 68-74 doubled, verso 75, recto 
77, verso 78, recto 79, verso 80. Two of the leaves (pp. 26 and 27, 30 and 31) 
are imperfect. 
"This seems to be the edition from which that of 1720 was reprinted. The 
two agree, page for page, and line for line nearly, but there is a difference in the 
type. As this contains Rawson's translation of Cotton's 'Milk for Babes,' it 
was probably printed after or not long before 1691. It may be of the edition of 
1687, mentioned in Isaiah Thomas's list of books printed by Samuel Green {Hist, 
of Prmting, i, 263). It is, so far as is known, unique." — Brinley Catalogue,
