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

of September Major Treat set forth for Squakheag with above an hundred men; next day coming nigh Squakheag, his men were much daunted to see the heads of Captain Beers Soldiers upon poles by the way side; but after they were come to Squaukheag, some parties of them went into the Meadow, but hearing some guns about the Fort, they ran up to see what the matter was, but by the way were fired upon by about fourteen Indians as they judg, out of the bushes: one or two Indians were stain. Major Treat was struck upon on the thigh, the bullet pierced ⟨p. 11⟩clothes, but had lost its force, and did him no harm: coming to the Fort he called his council together, and concluded forthwith to bring off the garrison: so they came away the same night, leaving the Cattle there, and the dead bodies unburied: since which seventeen of their Cattle came a great part of the way themselves, and have since been fetched into Hadly. Upon the 12th: of this month the Indians made an assault upon twenty two men of Pocomptuck, that were going from one garrison to the other to Meeting in the afternoon: made a great volley of shot at them, but killed not one man, they escaped to the Garrison whither they were going, only one man running to the other garrison was taken alive: The Indians took up their rendezvous on an hill in the meadow, burnt two more house killed many horses, carried away horse-loads of beef and pork to the hill: they sent the same night for more aid, but partly through the strictness of the Commission of our Garrison soldiers, or at least their interpretation of it, and partly through the wetness of the weather, there was nothing done that night: the next day we persuaded some of our Inhabitants to go Volunteers, and sent to Hadly to do the like, who going up with some of Captain Louthrop's soldiers, joined themselves to the garrison at Pocomptuck, and on Tuesday very early went out to assault the Indians, but they were all fled. Last night Captain Mosely with his men came into Hadly, and this night we expect more Forces from Hartford. If the Lord give not some sudden Check to these Indians, it is to be feared that most of the Indians in the Country will rise. I desire you would speak to the Governor, that there may be some thorough care for a Reformation, I am sensible there are many difficulties therein:
