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

Decemb. 8th. The Army set out from Boston. Whilst they were upon this march, an Indian whose name was Peter, having received some disgust among his Country men, came to the English, and discovered the plots of the Indians, told where they were, and promised to conduct the Army to them. They were no sooner arrived in the Narragansett Country but they killed and took captive above forty Indians. Being come to Mr. Smiths ⟨image ?⟩house, they waited some days for Connecticut Forces.

Decemb. 18. Connecticut Forces being come, a March toward the enemy was resolved upon: Peter Indian having informed that the Body of Indians (only Ninnigret being one of their old crafty Sachems, had with some of his men withdrawn himself from the rest, professing that he would not engage in a War with the English, therefore did he go into a place more remote) was in a Fort about eighteen miles distant from the place where our Army now was. The next day, although it were the Sabbath, yet, provisions being almost spent by our Soldiers, waiting so long for Connecticut Forces, the Council of War resolved to give Battle to the enemy. The English Soldiers played the men wonderfully; the Indians also fought stoutly, but were at last beat out of their Fort, which was taken by the English, There were hundreds of Wigwams (or Indian houses) within the Fort, which our Soldiers set on fire, in the which men, women and Children (no man knoweth how many hundreds of them) were burnt to death. Night coming on, a Retreat was founded.
