A brief Narrative of the beginning and progress of the present Troubles between us and the Indians, taking rise in the Colony of New Plymouth June 1675. Given by the Commissioners of that Colony, for the satisfaction of their Confederate Brethren, and others. Not to look back further then the Troubles that were between the Colony of New Plymouth, and Philip, sachem of Mount-Hope, in the Year 1671. It may be remembered, that the settlement, and issue of that controversy was obtained and made (principally) by the mediation and interposed advice, and counsel of the other two confederate colonies, who upon a careful enquiry and search into the grounds of that trouble, found that the said Sachems Pretences of wrongs and injuries from that Colony were groundless and false, and that he (although first in Arms) was the peccant offending party, and that Plymouth had just cause to take up Arms against him: and it was then agreed that he should pay that Colony a certain sum of Money, in part of their Damage and Charge by him occasioned, and he then not only renewed his ancient Covenant, of Friendship with them, but made himself and his People absolute subjects to our Sovereign Lord King Charles the II. and to that his Colony of New Plymouth, since which time, we know not that the English of that, or any other of the Colonies have been injurious to him or his, that might justly provoke them to take up Arms against us: But sometime last winter, the Governor of Plymouth was informed, by Sansaman a faithful Indian, that the said Philip was undoubtedly endeavouring to raise new troubles, and to engage all the Sachems round about in War against us. Some of the English also that lived near the said Sachem, communicated their fears and jealousies concurrent with what the Indian had informed: About a week after John Sansaman had given his Information, he was barbarously Murdered by some Indians, for his faithfulness (as we have cause to believe) to the Interest of God, and of the English.
