4. How often have we prayed that the Lord would remember the Cruelty, Treachery, and above all the Blasphemy of these Heathen? This Prayer hath been heard in heaven. As for their cruelty, God hath remembered that many of them falling into the hands of the Mohawks or other Indians, who fought in our quarrel, used their enemies, after their own kind▪ And […] hath been observed, that vengeance from the Lord did pursue them presently upon the perpetration of some horrid acts of barbarous cruelty toward such as fell into their murderous hands. And as for their Treachery, God hath retaliated that upon them; as for the perfidious Narragansets, Peter Indian was false and perfidious to them, upon a disgust received amongst them, and directed our Army where to find them. Treacherous Philip, one of his own men ran away from▪ him, & told Capt.Church where that Grand enemy had hid himself, the issue of which was, another Indian shot a bullet into the treacherous heart of that Covenant-breaking Infidel. Yea many of those bloody and deceitful Indians who were taken by Capt.Church▪ would frequently destroy and betray their bloody and falsehearted Comrades. Matoonas who was the first Indian that treacherously shed innocent English blood in Massachusetts Colony, he some years before pretended to something of Religion, being a professor in general (though never baptised, nor of the inchurched Indians) that so he might the more covertly manage the hellish design of revenge that was harboured in his devilish heart; but at last Sagamore John with some of his Indians unexpectedly surprised him, and delivered him to Justice. That abominable Indian Peter Jethro betrayed his own father, and other Indians of his special acquaintance, unto death. Many of the Nipmuck Indians, who were wont to lay snares for others, were at last themselves taken by a Stratagem, and brought to deserved execution.
