Mary Dyer stood in silence about a
long as one might take in walking mile
and then she said l." am easy to re
ceive thee, though l had hoped that th'
Lords handmaidcn would alone b.
called to this fiery trial of her faith"
Then one of the Indians rose up t.
take leave of them, and my mother saic
he was great chief. lie said" Wher
the Great Spirit made the white men
he told them to plant their corn and ca
it. When he made the red men, he
told them to plant corn and eat it. Thai
was one voice, for it tells the same thing
to the red man and the white man. But
the wind is not voice of the Good Spirit,
for it blows many ways. The Indians
worship the Good Spirit, and he gives
them venison and corn to eat. If the
white men hear voice that tells them
to worship the Great Spirit in one way,
and if others hear voice that speaks
differently, they are not both the voice
of the Great Spirit, for his voice is only
one voice The voice of the Great
Spirit speaks to all men, for he made
the white man and the red man The
Quaker believes in one voice, and so dc
|. l hear the voice too, and it is good
but it does not tell me to kill the white
man when he hears another voice, be-
cause | cannot make him hear the voice
which | hear. The Great Spirit made
all men, and he can make them hear his
voice"
The Indians then babe farewell to
Marmaduke and to Mary Dyer, and they
went away in the darkness, and We saw
them no more. But news came to us
that Marmaduke was toIbe put to death,
and that Mary was banished. We stayed
a long time with the Indians, till we
heard that Mary Dyer was hung and
then my father gave up all hopes of re-
turning to Boston, and said we must
escape to some other place. But we
could see no way of getting off for some
time. At last man came running to
us with earth upon his head, and with
upon his body and he said
that a place had been found for the
little flock where they could feed in
safety, and his name was William Ladd,
and he had borne righteous testimony
in, the town, and had been banished.
William Ladd led us to the watcrside
in the night, where was large boat with
rowers in it, and several Friends, with
some of their goods, We got into the
boat and pushed off from the land /; but
we had not gone far before we heard the
oars of another boat coming after us.
Then all of us children quaked with
fear ; but the Lord caused great dark
ness to fall upon the water, and as our
boat lay perfectly still, the others passed
by us, and we neither saw them nor they
US. When the sound of their oars had
gone by, our rowers took some of our
clothes and wrapped them around their
oars, so that they should make no noise,
md we then held on our way.
1t was towards morning when we
struck against the land 1t was Brand
Point. We got on shore, and walked
llong through the sand goodly distance
I'LL We came to five or six houses. We
lnocked at the door of the largest of
hem, and voice answered.
If thou come in the name of the
Lord, walk in !"
We opened the door and entered.
An.old man was making a fire. He |
ooked at US and straitly said, " Are not
'ou the Friend that the people of Baal
we're inquiring about little while ago 7"
My father answered and said, We
we're hotly pursued, but now, trust,
vc may shout as on the banks of deliv-
,rance."
BY this time all the household were
,athefed about us. (which of you is
William Ladd :" enquired the old
friend. .. .s....
He did not come with us, but re-
NAMED on the beach near the town Of
Boston," said my father. 4
"Then the Lord hath delivered him.
