I found Williams's discussion of blood interesting. He seemed to recognize that blood united the Native Europeans and colonists ("One blood made all mankind"). Considering the lack of medical knowledge at the time, it brought up a question to me. How advanced was the medical knowledge of Purtians at the time? Did they have legitimate doctors and scientists in the new world? How did it compare with Jamestown and VA Colonies? - Adam Shlossman | I found Williams's discussion of blood interesting.

| + | Williams states that the Native Americans are heathens and they dress with a "two-fold nakednesse" like "their and our first Parents." Is this to say that he believes that they share the same ancestry, meaning Adam and Eve? And if so, how can it be that he believes some are created lesser than other when they share the same ancestry? I also think it is an interesting aside that he likens their polytheistic religion to the Catholic Saints, which gives the Native American a more human-like comparison. -- Taja L. Winston | ||
