'senting Teachers who have lately attempted their Conversion ; for on hearing their Religion was not the same with the King's they were much disgusted. Besides, the gloomy Cast of those Teachers, and their Mode of Worship, are forbidding and disagreable to the Indians. But the present Plan, which proposes that they should be proselyted by Clergymen of the National Church, would be clear of those Embarrassments; and as Supreme Head of the Church of England, it should be carried on in his Majesty's Name. Or even supposing that the Dissent- -ers should at least prove successful in their endeavours among the Indians ; yet' it deserves serious Consideration, whether it would not be more eligible and safe that the Iroquois were Converted to the National Faith, and in such a Manner, as would indubitably secure their Fidelity to the Crown. I shall not enlarge on so delicate a Point. Your Lordship can reflect on this Hint.

I have now gone through what I proposed on this Subject, and have studied Brevity as far' as was consistent with Perspicuity. I shall not trespass farther on your Lordship's Patience than to observe--That every Motive of Humanity and good Policy--of Regard to our Safety and Welfare, londly calls for some vigorous Measures with Respect to the Iroquois, to secure their Friendship, prevent their Seduction by Roman Catholics, and guard against the Evils that may be thence apprehended, as well as those we may surely expect from their Continuance in their present savage State. The Method to effect all this, I have taken the Liberty to point out. The Expence attending it is trivial when compared with the Advantages we shall certainly reap from it; about £500 Sterl. a year being sufficient for the Purpose ; and it is more than probable there never will be again such a Concurrence of Circumstances, as at present, to favour a Design of this Kind.
