And I have knowne them make bargaine and sale amongst themselves for a small piece, or quantity of Ground: notwithstanding a sinfull opinion amongst many that Christians have right to Heathens Lands: but of the delusion of that phrase, I have spoke in a discourse concerning the Indians Conversion. Wuttáhimneash, Strawberries. Obs: This Berry is the wonder of all the Fruits growing naturally in those parts: it is of itselfe Excellent: so that one of the chiefest Doctors of England was wont to say, that God could have made, but God never did make a better Berry: In some parts where the Natives have planted, I have many times seen as many as would fill a good ship within a few miles compasse: The Indians bruise them in a Morter, and mixe them with meale and make Strawberry bread. Ewáchim neash, Corne. Scannémeneash, Seed Corne. Wompiscannémeneash, White seed-corne. Obs: There be diverse sorts of this Corne, and of the colours: yet all of it either boild in milke, or buttered, if the use of it were knowne and received in England (it is the opinion of some skillfull in physic) it might save many thousand lives in England, occasioned by the binding nature of the English wheat, the Indian Corne keeping the body in a constant moderate loosenesse.

When a field is to be broken up, they have a very loving sociable speedy way to dispatch it: All the neighbours men and Women forty, fifty, a hundred, &c. joyne, and come in to helpe freely. With friendly joyning they breake up their fields, build their Forts, hunt the woods, stop and kill fish in the Rivers, it being true with them as in all the World in the Affaires of Earth or Heaven: By concord little things grow great, by discord the greatest come to nothing. Concordiâ parvœ res crescunt, discordiâ magnœ dilabuntur. Anáskhig-anash, How, Howes. Anaskhómwock, They how. Anaskhommonteâmin, They break for me. Anaskhomwáutowwin, A breaking up How.

Aûke and Sanaukamuck: earth or land. Níttauke, Nissawnâwkamuck: my land. Wuskâukamuck: new ground. Aquegunnítteash: fields worn out. Mìntúck-quash: trees. Pauchautaqunnêsash: branch, branches. Wunnèpog-guash: leaf, leaves. Wattáp: a root of a tree. Séip: a river. Toyùsk: a bridge. Sepoêse: a little river. Sepoêmese: a little rivulet. Takèkum: a spring. Takekummûo?: Is there a spring? Sepûo?: Is there a river? Toyusquanûo?: Is there a bridge? Observation: The natives are very exact and precise about the bounds of their lands, which belong to this or that prince or people, even down to a river or brook. And I have known them make bargains and sales among themselves for a small piece or quantity of ground. This is so despite a sinful opinion among many that Christians have a right to heathens' lands. But I have spoken of the delusion of that phrase in a discourse concerning the Indians' conversion. Wuttáhimneash: strawberries. Observation: This berry is the wonder of all the fruits growing naturally in those parts. It is excellent in itself, so that one of the chief doctors of England used to say that God could have made a better berry, but God never did. In some parts where the natives have planted, I have many times seen as many as would fill a good ship within a few miles' range. The Indians bruise them in a mortar and mix them with meal, and make strawberry bread. Ewáchim neash: corn. Scannémeneash: seed corn. Wompiscannémeneash: white seed corn. Observation: There are various sorts of this corn, and of various colors. Yet if the use of it, either boiled in milk or buttered, were known and accepted in England, it might save many thousands of lives in England (in the opinion of some skilled in medicine). Those lives are lost through the binding nature of English wheat, while Indian corn keeps the body in a constant, moderate looseness. Aukeeteaûmen: to plant corn. Quttáunemun: to plant corn. Anakáusu: a laborer. Anakáusichick: laborers. Aukeeteaûmitch: planting time. Aukeeteáhettit: when they plant corn. Nummautaukeeteaûmen: I have finished planting. Anaskhómmin: to hoe or break up. Observation: The women plant, weed, and hill, and gather and store all the corn and fruits of the field. Yet sometimes the man himself will help the woman, either out of love for his wife, or care for his children, or because he is an old man. By the custom of the country, men are not bound to do so. When a field is to be broken up, they have a very loving, sociable, speedy way to get it done. All the neighbors, men and women, forty, fifty, a hundred, and so on, join and come in to help freely. Joining in friendship, they break up their fields, build their forts, hunt the woods, and stop and kill fish in the rivers. It is true with them, as in all the world, in the affairs of earth or heaven: by concord little things grow great, by discord the greatest come to nothing. Concordia parvae res crescunt, discordia magnae dilabuntur. Anáskhig-anash: hoe, hoes. Anaskhómwock: they hoe. Anaskhommonteâmin: they break [ground] for me. Anaskhomwáutowwin: a breaking-up hoe. The Indian women to this day, despite our hoes, use their natural hoes of shells and wood. Monaskúnnemun: to weed. Monaskunnummaûtowwin: a weeding or broad hoe. Petascúnnemun: to hill the corn. Kepenúmmin, Wuttúnnemun: to gather corn. Núnnowwa: harvest time. Anoûant: at harvest. Wuttùunemitch Ewáchim: when harvest is in. Pausinnummin: to dry the corn. They do this carefully, on heaps and mats, for many days before they store it, covering it with mats at night and opening it when the sun is hot. Sókenug: a heap of corn. Observation: The women of the family will commonly raise two or three heaps of twelve, fifteen, or twenty bushels a heap, which they dry in round, broad heaps. And if a woman has help from her children or friends, much more.
