One that nick-names clergymen with all the terms of reproach, as "rat, black-coat" and the like; which he will be sure to keep up, and never calls them by other: that sings psalms when he is drunk, and cries "God mercy" in mockery, for he must do it.
"The black-coat, Wilson, has asked me to let him write down all this that I have told him, so that it may be made into a book and read by everybody. And I hope that by-and-bye all the white people will see this book, and that their hearts will be warmed towards the poor ignorant Indians who live on the shores of the Great Ojebway Lake.
Then came hearty shakes of the hand from my father and brother who had come to meet us, and Chief Buhkwujjenene, who seemed quite lost, poor man, among the excitement and bustle, was introduced and shook hands with the venerable English Black-coat.
He had waited for a Missionary to come until he died, and since then they had been waiting on year after year; they would not accept the French religion, but were waiting for an English Black-coat to come and teach them. He did not know how many they were in number, but he thought about a hundred; our guide, Uhbesekun, he said, was one of their number.

Would you have us fail to burn the sacrifice?
The girl dropped to the ground, drew her blanket over her head, and began to sing her death-song. "So the black-coat and the woman-stealer have come to die before the Indian's god?" sneered the chief. "If it be God's will, we will die defying your god and you," replied Marquette. "Yet we fear not death, and if God willed he could deliver us as easily as he could destroy that worthless image."
He had a genial smile, a warm hand-shake, so when he stopped his horse and greeted the old pagan, Ten-Canoes smiled too. "Ah, Ten-Canoes!" cried the superintendent, "a great man told me he was coming to see your people a big man, none less than Great Black-Coat, the bishop of the Anglican Church.
"The six hosses lines out at a ten-mile gait, which rattles things, an' makes the black-coat gent sigh, while the young-ones pours forth some appallin' shrieks. The female gets speshul mad at this, allowin' they's playin' it low down on her fam'ly.
"True," said black-coat, coquetting with the glass; "still I should be sorry to try an alcoholic remedy while another could be found." "Perhaps you would prefer eating less," said my friend slyly, "which, I have been told by a medical man, is generally a certain cure if persevered in." "Oh, ah, yes. But, Sir, my constitution would never stand that.
