When the Indians started to go to that country God had given them, they were fleeing from their enemies. But as they soon came to a great water, God told their leader to strike the water with a rod, and it should divide and give them a passage though and then flow together. Thus their leader did and thus they passed through and their enemies were stopped. God loved them and therefore He assisted them in this way. During the journey they passed through four duplicates as above-
The first commandment given to the first man was handed down verbally, but men becoming wicked, and killing one another lost this command: God therefore gave new commandments to the Indians, which they were in the wilderness and marked them on a long smooth stone (having descended on to the top of a mountain) and gave them to their leader, and enabled him to read them to the people. He also gave them other instructions, which were marked on skins, their leader, to whom God gave these laws was a prophet, and could see God, and was with Him on the Mountain. Hutsawi? (Pinelog)

God also while on the mountain commanded them to erect a certain building, and carry it with them in the journeys. This building had four parts, fastened together by four joints? (others say seven) In hard weather it was covered with a kind of cloth made of deer hair and turkey feathers. It was taken down when they travelled, and set up when they encamped. Four white seats, for the priests were con-nected with this building. On the upright boards? forming the back of these seats were unclear pieces of covered wood, with a half moon unclear on each.

In travelling through that wilderness, the Aquaniker? (Delawares?, probably) took the lead. Each tribe march-ed by itself and had their encampments separate, tho? each clan kept distinct, without intermingleing with the other clans of the same tribe. The clans were
