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

July 27. One of the Nipmuck Sachems (called Sagamore John) ca•• to Boston, and submitted himself to the mercy of the English, bringing in about an hundred and fourscore Indians with him. And that so he might ingratiate himself with the English, he apprehended Mattocks and his Son, and brought them with him to Boston, which Mattocks was the beginner of the War in this Colony of Massachusetts; for it was he that committed the murders which were done at Mendam July 14. 1675. Being thus taken and examined before the Council, he had little to plead for himself, and therefore was condemned to immediate death. S•gamore John was desirous that he and his men might be the Executioners; wherefore Matoonas was carried out into the Common •t Boston, and there being tied to a Tree, the Sachem who had no submitted himself, with several of his men, shot him to death. Thus did the Lord (a year after) retaliate upon him the Innocent blood which he had shed, as he had done so God hath required him: And inasmuch as Matoonas who began the War and Mischiefs which have followed thereon, in this Colony of Massachusetts is taken, and Justice glorified upon him, it seems to be a good Omen, that are long Philip who began the War in the other Colony, shall likewise e delivered up unto Justice. In due time his foot shall slide, and the things which shall come upon him seem to make haste.
