And for diverse years last past (that all occasion of offence in that respect might be prevented) the English agreed with Philip and his, for a certain Sum yearly to maintain the said Fence, and secure themselves. And if at any time they have brought complaints before us, they have had justice impartial and speedily, so that our own people have frequently complained, that we erred on the other hand in showing them overmuch favour. Much more I might mention, but I would not burden your patience; yet we must own that God is just and hath punished us far less then our iniquities have deserved, yea just in using as a Rod, whose enlightening and Conversion we have not endeavoured as we might & should have done, but on the contrary have taught them new sins that they knew not. The Lord Humble us and Reform us, that he may also save and deliver us, as in his own time I trust he will. Sir, I have nothing of Intelligence worthy your knowledge. The Colds are very general amongst us and some very afflictive. The Lord rebuke the mortal Distemper that prevails so much in your Town, and […] all his Visitations to us. Thus craving the benefit of your Prayers, in this day of Gods Visitation, I rest Your Obliged friend to serve you, Jos, Winslow. Marshfield May 1. 1676,
