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

we lost six men upon the ground, though one was shot in the back by our own men, a seventh dyed of […] coming home, and two dyed the next might, nine in all of nine several towns, every one of these towns lost a man.: Of the Indians as we heat since by a Squaw that was taken, and by three Children that came to our town from them the day after, there were slain ⟨image ?⟩twenty six: the same day there was an Indian that lodged in our town he night before, taken by our men, and a Squaw that; belonged to our Fort that was coming from Spring-field; they both own that our Indians received Wompam from Philip in the Spring; to engage them in the War. The fellow also owns that there were seven of our Indians that went to Quabaog, where they heard that they intended to fight. After this fight we heard no more of them till the first of September, when they shot down a Garrison Soldier of Pacomptuck, that was looking after his horse, and ran violently up into the town, many people having scarcely time enough to get into the Garrisons. That day they burnt most of their houses and burns, the Garrisons not being strong enough to sally out upon them, but killed two of their men from the Forts. The next day they set upon several men that were gone out of the Fort at Squakheag, they slew eight of our men, not above one of them being ••ain that we know of, but made no attempt upon the Fort. The next day (this Onset being unknown) Capt, Beers set forth with about thirty six men and some ¹Carts to fetch of the garrison at Squakheag, and coming within three miles of the place, the next morning were set upon by a great number of Indians from the side of a Swamp, where was an hot Dispute for some time: they having loft their Captain and some others, resolved at last to fly, & going to take horse lost several men more, I think about twelve: the most that escaped got to Hadly that evening: next morning another came in, and at night another that had been taken by the Indians, and loosed from his bonds by a Natick Indian, he tells the Indians were all drunk that night, that they mourned much for the loss of a great Captain, that the English had killed twenty five of their men. Six days after another Soldier came in, who had been lost ever since the fight, and was almost famished, and so lost his understanding, that he knew not what day the fight was on. On the 5th.
