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

April 9th, This day being the Lords day, there was an alarm at Charlestown, cambridge, and other towns, by reason that sundry of the enemy were seen at Billerica, and (it seemeth) had shot a man there. This week we hear from Connecticut, that a party of their soldiers went with many of the pequods, and Monbegins, and some of Ninnegret's Indians, to seek after the enemy, and they killed and took captive forty and four Indians without the loss of any of ours: amongst whom were several of their Chief Captains, and their great sachem called Qudnonchet, who was a principal Ring leader in the Narragansett War, and had as great an interest and influence, as can be said of any among the Indians. This great Sachem was pursued into a River by one of Ninnegret his men, and there taken. Being apprehended he was carried away to Stonington, where the English caused the liquods and Monbegins, and Ninnegret's Indians, to join together in Shooting Quanonthet and cutting off his head, which was sent to Hartford. And herein the English dealt wisely, for by this means, those three Indian Nations are ⟨image ?⟩become abominable to the other Indians, and it is now their interest to be faithful to the English, since their own Country-men will never forgive them; on account of their taking and killing the Sachem mentioned: So that there was a gracious smile of providence in this thing, yet not without matter of humbling to us, in that the Sachem was apprehended not by English but by Indian hands.
