I therefore diverted the present Discourse between me and my Man，rising up hastily，as upon some sudden Occasion of going out；then sending him for something a good way off，I seriously pray'd to God that he would enable me to instruct savingly this poor Savage，assisting by his Spirit the Heart of the poor ignorant Creature，to receive the Light of the Knowledge of God in Christ，reconciling him to himself，and would guide me to speak so to him from the Word of God，as his Conscience might be convinc'd，hid Eyes open'd，and his Soul sav'd. When he came again to me，I entred into a long Discourse with him upon the Subject of the Redemption of Man by the Saviour of the World，and of the Doctrine of the Gospel preach'd from Heaven，viz. of Repentance towards God，and Faith in our Blessed Lord Jesus. I then explain'd to him，as well as I could，why our Blessed Redeemer took not on him the Nature of Angels，but the Seed of Abraham，and how for that Reason the fallen Angels had no Share in the Redemption；that he came only to the lost Sheep of the House of Israel，and the like.
I had，God knows，more Sincerity than Knowledge，in all the Methods I took for this poor Creature's Instruction，and must acknowledge what I believe all that act upon the same Principle will find，That in laying Things open to him，I really inform'd and instructed my self in many Things，that either I did not know，or had not fully consider'd before；but which occurr'd naturally to my Mind，upon my searching into them，for the Information of this poor Savage；and I had more Affection in my Enquiry after Things upon this Occasion，than ever I felt before；so that whether this poor wild Wretch was the better for me，or no，I had great Reason to be thankful that ever he came to me：My Grief set lighter upon me，my Habitation grew comfortable to me beyond Measure；and when I reflected that in this solitary Life which I had been confin'd to，I had not only been moved my self to look up to Heaven，and to seek to the Hand that had brought me there；but was now to be made an Instrument under Providence to save the Life，and for ought I knew，the Soul of a poor Savage，and bring him to the true Knowledge of Religion，and of the Christian Doctrine，that he might know Christ Jesus，to know whom is Life eternal. I say，when I reflected upon all these Things，a secret Joy run through every Part of my Soul，and I frequently rejoyc'd that ever I was brought to this Place，which I had so often thought the most dreadful of all Afflictions that could possibly have befallen me.
