The poor Creature did not understand me at all, but thought I had ask'd who was his Father: But I took it by another Handle, and ask'd him who made the Sea, the Ground we walk'd on, and the Hills and Woods; he told me it was one old Benamuckee, that liv'd beyond all: He could describe nothing of this great Person, but that he was very old; much older, he said, than the Sea or the Land, than the Moon or the Stars: I ask'd him then, If this old Person had made all Things, why did not all Things worship him? He look'd very grave, and with a perfect Look of Innocence, said, All Things said O to him: I ask'd him if the People, who die in his Country, went away any where? He said, Yes, they all went to Benamuckee: Then I ask'd him, Whether these they eat up went thither too? He said, Yes.
