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

August. 12. This is the memorable day wherein Philip, the perfidious and bloody Author of the War and woeful miseries that have thence ensued, was taken and stain. And God brought it to pass, chiefly by Indians themselves. For one of Philips men (being disgusted at him, for killing an Indian who had propounded an expedient for peace with the English) ran away from him, and coming to Road-Island, informed that Philip was now returned again to Mount-Hope, and undertook to bring them to the Swamp where he hid himself. Divine Providence so disposed, as that Capt. Church of Plymouth was then in Road-Island, in order to recruiting his Soldiers, who had been wearied with a tedious march that week, But immediately upon this Intelligence, he set forth again, with a small company of English and Indians. It seemeth that night Philip (like the man, in the Host of Midian) dreamed that he was fallen into the hands of the English; and just as he was saying to those that were with him, that they must fly for their lives that day; left the Indian that was gone from him should discover where he was; Our Soldiers came upon him, and surrounded the Swamp (where he was seven of his men absconded) Thereupon he betook himself to flight; but as he was coming out of the Swamp, an English-man and an Indian endeavoured to fire at him, the English-man missed of his aim, but the Indian shot him through the heart, so as that he fell down dead. The Indian who thus killed Philip, did formerly belong to Squaw-Sachem of Pocasset, being known by the name of Alterman. In the beginning of the war, he came to the Governor of Plymouth, manifesting his desire to be at peace with the ⟨p. 47⟩English, and immediately withdrew to an Island, […] having engaged against the English nor for them, before this time. Thus when Philip had made an end to deal treacherously, his own Subjects dealt treacherously with him. This Woe was brought upon him that spoiled when he was not spoiled. And in that very place where he first contrived.[…] his mischief, was be taken and destroyed, and there was he (the as […] before the Lord) cut into four quarters, and is now hanged up as a monument of revenging Justice, his […] being cut off and carried away to Plymouth, his Hands were brought to Boston. So lot all shine Enemies perish, O Lord!
