Roger Williams' guide to the language of the Native American tribes was the first of its kind ever published; as well as linguistic instruction, we receive stunning insights into the culture and customs of the New England tribes. This historic text was written to accomplish two goals: Firstly, it is a practical, instructional guidebook written with the colonial society in mind. Particularly where religious missions are concerned, but also in general, the author feels that colonialists should have a command of Native American languages. Williams passionately believed in peaceful coexistence, and realized that an understanding of the native speech was crucial for this. Secondly, the book aims to promote understanding of Native American culture. What customs the tribes practice, the foods they eat, their marital and social mores, their methods of communicating knowledge, how they regard the many beasts of nature, and how trade and commerce is practiced are but some of the topics Williams discusses.

The HIRELING MINISTRY none of CHRIST'S or, A Discourse Touching the Propagating the Gospel of Christ Jesus. Humbly presented to such pious and honourable hands whom the present debate thereof concerns. In the discourse it will appear, how greatly some mistake, which say I declare against all Ministries, all Churches, all Ordinances; for I professedly avow and maintain, that since the Apostasy, and the interrupting of the first ministry and order, God hath graciously and immediately stirred up and sent forth the ministry of his Prophets, who during all the reign of Antichrist, have prophesied in sackcloth, and the saints and people of God have more or less gathered to and assembled with them; they have prayed and fasted together, and exhorted and comforted each other, and so do, notwithstanding that some are not persuaded and satisfied, {{as others conceive themselves to be,}} as touching the doctrines of baptisms, and laying on of hands.
