_He inqui_, even as he saith. The meaning is, even as hee saith that taught this prayer. _Quinqui_, signifieth I say, _tiqui_, thou saiest, _inqui_, hee saith, _Cohqui_, wee say, _tiquita_, yee say, _quiquitacque_, they say.
_Amen_. All words which have no true expression in the _Indians_ tongues, are continued in the _Spanish_, or in the proper tongue, as here _Amen_. So wine which formerly they had not, they call _vino_; though by an improper word some call it _Castilana ha_, that is, the water of Castile. So God, they call _Dios_ commonly; though some call him _Nim Ahval_, that is, the great Lord.
And thus for curiosities sake, and by the intreaty of some speciall friends, I have furnished the Presse with a language which never yet was printed, or known in _England_. A Merchant, Mariner, or Captaine at Sea may chance by fortune to be driven upon some Coast, where he may meet with some _Pocoman Indian_; and it may bee of great use to him, to have some light of this _Poconchi_ tongue. Whereunto I shall be willing hereafter to add something more for the good of my Countrey; and for the present I leave thee Reader to study what hitherto hath briefely been delivered by mee.
