Decennium luctuosum. An history of remarkable occurrences, in the long war, which New-England hath…

Uladislaus, the King of Hungary, Scandalously breaking his League, with Amurath the Turkish Emperor, brought an Army into the Field against him. The Turkish Army being horribly Broke, and Slain, and almost Vanquished by the Hungarian, Amurath in his Anguish, took out of his Bosom, the written League, that Uladislaus had made with him, and holding it up in his Hands, with his Eyes to Heaven, he Cried out, Behold, O Crucified Christ, the League which thy Christians in thy Name have made with me, and now without cause do Violate; If thou be a God, Revenge the Wrong that is now done unto thy Name, and show thy power upon a Perjurious People, who in their Deeds Deny their G•d! Immediately the Course of the Battle turned; the Perjurious King was killed; and the Turks w•n a most unexpected Victory. Truly we may in like manner now take the Instrument of the Submission and Agreement of the Eastern Indians, which Thirteen of their Chief Commanders did Sign more than Five years ago; and holding it up to Heaven, we may Cry out, Ah, Lord God of Truth, wilt thou not be Revenged upon the False Wretches that have broken this League! Doubtless, our God will ⟨p. 248⟩Exec••e a dreadful Vengeance upon them, if we Humbly make our Suit unto Him for it; and He ha's ways for His Vengeance to come at them, which We cannot Imagine.

Yea, 'Tis affirmed, th•• not a few of the Chief Murderers among our Enemies, have accidentally killed hemselves; the most Murderous Indians, have in a little while been their own Executioners. Who can tell, what Strange Ways, the God unto whom Vengeance belongeth, hath to inflict it, on a Generation of His Curse?
