Once he made a creature, in the form of a man, which he also rejected, but he forgot to take the life away from him, and this is the evil spirit, Hobbamocki." "And thou believest this fable, as wild as ever sprung from the unbridled license of an Oriental story-teller?"
We do not think, as your powahs teach, that our traditions come from Hobbamocki, while yours all proceed from the Master of life." "Hobbamocki is thy name for the Evil Spirit?" "My brother has said it. Would he like to know how he was created?" "I listen," said the Knight.
Manitos are very little things beside him, and all together cannot fill his place. Your powahs have deceived you, and told a foolish story of their own invention. No. Hobbamocki was vexed because the Great Spirit did not like him, and for that reason tries to revenge himself, by troubling those whom the Great Spirit loves."
"Sassacus believes as the wise men of his nation believed, when he was a little pappoose, and as their fathers believed, when they were papooses, and as his people have always believed, for more summers than there are stars in the sky. But do not the white men believe in Hobbamocki?" "They do, though they give him a different name," answered the Knight.
But he envied the greatness of the Master of Life, and desired to occupy his place." "Can your Hobbamocki be in two places at once?" "No. Being a created spirit, he is limited." "It cannot be, then, that he was such a fool," said the chief, decisively. "Behold! the Master of Life is every where! He is like the air and the light.
But the ears of the Indians were sharper, and they all understood alike, and therefore they do not differ about what the Master of Life said, and they also know better concerning Hobbamocki. Has not my brother told me that the white men fight and kill one another about their religion?" "Alas! it is too true," replied Sir Christopher. "Indians never do so.
