Exodus 17:4-7 And Moses cried to the LORD, saying, What shall I do to this people? they be almost ready to stone me.… Hiacoomes, an early Indian convert, was a remarkable man. Two years after his conversion (1743), having in the meantime been prepared by Mr. Mayhew, he commented teaching to the Indians the things of Christianity. He was not suffered to proceed without opposition from the Paw-Waws, Sachems, and other Indians; but he made this improvement of the injustice done him. "I had," he remarked, "one hand for injuries and another hand for God; while I received wrong with the one, I laid the faster hold on God with the other." These words should be written in gold.
