Thomas Morton described the natives better than previous colonists and explorers such as Smith did in every way. Morton admires the structure of their societies and portrays them as being almost better than the English. For example, he says, "It is admirable to behould what pastime they use." Not only this, but Morton describes the natives as being upright people with respect toward their elders and superiors. This is evident when he writes, "that a nation of uncivilized should more respect age than some nations civilized." He basically says that the younger natives were models that young English people should learn from.
He also shows a respect for their religious beliefs. He rebukes the previous writers' assupmtion that all natives are godless and describes their creation story as one resembling the Christian creation story with a man and a woman being made first, and later described that the natives believe in a catastrophe similiar to Noah's flood. In addition, he introduces the Seperatists, or Puritans as being "conspirators". The colonists from the neighboring Plymouth settlement brought false accusations against Morton's host and attempted to kill him before being stopped by a military man, and they later imprisoned him and sent him back to England as a criminal. In all, Morton dismisses many of the myths concerning New England, and the natives who inhabit it.
