An earnest exhortation to the inhabitants of New-England, to hearken to the voice of…

July 2. This day Connecticut Forces being in the Narragansett Country met with a party of Indians, pursued them into a Swamp, killed and took an hundred and fourscore of them (amongst whom was the old Squaw Sachem of Narragansett) without the loss of one English-man. Only an Indian or two that fought for the English, was killed in this engagement. The English would gladly have gone further, and have joined with Boston and Plymouth Companies to pursue Philip at Mount-hope, but the Connecticut Indians would by no means be persuaded thereunto, until such time as they had returned home with the booty they had taken. And as they were on their march homeward, they took and slaughtered threescore more Indians. In the mean while the other Colonies are sending out soldiers towards Mount-Hope, where Philip with a multitude of Indians lately flocked thither is reported to be, designing speedily to fall upon the neighbouring Towns.

July. 6. Five or six Indian Sachems did make peace with the English in the Eastern parts of this Colony. They have brought in with them three hundred men besides women and Children. One of the Sachems did earnestly define, that the English would promise that no more liquors should be sold or given to the Indians, that so they might not be in a Capacity of making themselves drunk, having found by woeful experience, that that hath been a ruining evil to many of them. This week also about two hundred Indians more came & submitted themselves to mercy, in Plymouth Colony, being partly necessitated thereunto by the distresses which God in his holy providence hath brought them into, and partly encouraged by a promise from the Government there, that all such Indians; as would come in, and lay down their arms should have life and liberty granted to them, expecting only such as had been active in any of the murders which have been committed. When these Indians were in the hands of the English, a certain Squaw amongst them, perceiving that it would be pleasing to the English, if the murderers were discovered, she presently told of one who had had a bloody hand in the murders which were done in Mr. Clark's house March the twelfth, the Indian immediately confessed the Fact, only said that there was another who had as great an hand therein as he, which other Indian being examined, confessed; the thing also; and he revealed a third Indian Murderer, who upon Examination owned the thing, whereupon they were all three forthwith executed, thus did God bring upon them the innocent blood which they had shed. Also the Indians who had surrendered themselves, informed that a bloody Indian called Tuckpoo (who the last summer murdered a Man of Boston at Namasket) with about twenty Indians more, was at a place within 16 miles of Plymouth, and manifested willingness to go and fetch him in, whereupon eight English with fourteen Indians, marched out in the night, and seized upon them all, none of ours receiving any hurt at this time. Justice was speedily executed upon the Indian, who had been a Murderer; the other having their lives granted them.
