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

Thus did the Lord take away seven Captains out of that Army. Also four Lieutenants were wounded in that Fort fight, so that although the English had the better of it, yet not without solemn and humbling Rebukes of Providence. At night as the army returned to their Quarters; a great Snow fell, also part of the army missed their way, among whom was the General himself with his Life-guard. Had the enemy known their advantage, and pursued our Soldiers (and we have since heard that some of the Indians did earnestly move, that it might be so, but others of them through the over-ruling hand of Providence would not consent) when upon their retreat, they might easily have cut off the whole Army: But God would be more gracious to us. Here then was not only a Victory, but also a signal Preservation, for which let the Father of mercies have eternal Glory.

After this God seemed to withdraw from the English, and take part with the enemy. The next day the Indians finding but few English men dead in the Fort amongst their three hundred Indians that were slain, were much troubled and amazed, supposing that no more of ours had been killed; this blow did greatly astonish them, and had the English immediately pursued the Victory begun, in all likelihood there had been an end of our troubles: but God saw that neither yet were we sit for deliverance. Wherefore Connecticut Forces withdrew to Stonington, and there being so many killed and wounded amongst those that remained in the Narragansett Country, also bread for the Soldiers being wanting, by reason the extremity of the weather was such, as that the Vessels loaden with provision could not reach them; therefore the army lay still some weeks.
