to be flogged, as usual
It's disturbing to think about how this was normal punishment for just about anyone and everything centuries ago. Compare that to today where punishment is usually either in time spent locked away, time spent working, or money, it makes everything sound like a horrible, almost dystopian society compared to our imperfect one we live in today. But it's not just the fact that this was normal, but that it was "as usual" where the Author sounds like he didn't even feel like writing that part because of how commonplace it was, like taking another breath or blinking.

the Indians esteem their camps as much as, and even more than, they do the most superb and commodious of our houses.
Either high self-esteem or the comfort of their own homes created a safer and more homey feel. Most likely the second. Either way I don't understand why they expect to come to a new land and for all of the locals to be like "wow, we want to completely rework our way of life to be like theirs." Try doing that to another country, you'll probably get laughed at.

Asked what causes or motives the said Indian rebels had for renouncing the law of God and obedience to his Majesty, and for committing so many kinds of crimes, and who were the instigators of the rebellion, and what he had heard while he was among the apostates,
A long list making the rebellion seem like the worst possible thing that could have happened, despite the completely unfair treatment given to the rebels before the attempt at freedom.

which they gave with wonderful love.
I can't place the feeling, but it's somewhere around sadness and hysteria seeing how Native Americans go from "Wonderful love" to "they're killing us and taking everything, now what." It is set as such a blissful place, only to be turned into a war zone over the next few decades.

if only they were willing to give thenecessary application
Said the teacher to the student. Humanizes the Gaspesians in a way, but also shows defiance. They can become civilized, but they choose to be different. Put into context that The little peaceful contact made was always skewed in the colonists minds, I'm surprised by the amount of attention spent on not whether they are doing something or not, but if they can possibly do it.
