From these Things，I began to instruct him in the Know ledge of the true God：I told him that the great Maker of all Things liv'd up there，pointing up towards Heaven：That he governs the World by the same Power and Providence by which he had made it：That he was omnipotent，could do every Thing for us，give every Thing to us，take every Thing from us；and thus by Degrees I open'd his Eyes. He listned with great Attention，and receiv'd with Pleasure the Notion of Jesus Christ being sent to redeem us，and of the Manner of making our Prayers to God，and his being able to hear us，even into Heaven；he told me one Day，that if our God could hear us up beyond the Sun，he must needs be a greater God than their Benamuckee，who liv'd but a little way off，and yet could not hear，till they went up to the great Mountains where he dwelt，to speak to him；I ask'd him if ever he went thither，to speak to him；he said no，they never went that were young Men；none went thither but the old Men，who he call'd their Oowocakee，that is，as I made him explain it to me，their Religious，or Clergy，and that they went to say O，（so he called saying Prayers） and then came back，and told them what Benamuckee said：By this I observ'd，That there is Priestcraft，even amongst the most blinded ignorant Pagans in the World；and the Policy of making a secret Religion，in order to preserve the Veneration of the People to the Clergy，is not only to be found in the Roman，but perhaps among all Religions in the World，even among the most brutish and barbarous Savages.
I endeavour'd to clear up this Fraud，to my Man Friday，and told him，that the Pretence of their old Men going up the Mountains，to say O to their God Benamuckee，was a Cheat，and their bringing Word from thence what he said，was much more so；that if they met with any Answer，or spake with any one there，it must be with an evil Spirit：And then I entred into a long Discourse with him about the Devil，the Original of him，his Rebellion against God，his Enmity to Man，the Reason of it，his setting himself up in the dark Parts of the World to be Worship'd instead of God，and as God；and the many Stratagems he made use of to delude Mankind to his Ruine；how he had a secret access to our Passions，and to our Affections，to adapt his Snares so to our Inclinations，as to cause us even to be our own Tempters，and to run upon our Destruction by our own Choice.
