doctrine was their own property � therefore in opposing them the savages were their just rights the of nature and the will of they were guilty of and on the case � therefore they were hardened af god and they ought to be but a more in right than either that f ham mentioned and the one which will be the most admitted by my reader provided be be blessed with of charity and is the right acquired bj civilization all the world knows the lamentable state i which these poor savages were found not only in the comforts of life but what is still and unfortunately blind to the miseries of situation but no sooner did the benevolent of europe behold their sad condition than they went to work to and improve it introduced among them rum gin brandy and the comforts of life � and it is astonishing to read how sow the poor savages learnt to estimate these blessings they likewise made known to them a thousand which the most diseases are tm healed and that they might comprehend the benefits and enjoy the comforts of these they among them the diseases which they i to care by these and a variety of methods was the condition of these poor savages wonder new fully they acquired a wants of which tbey had
