continued with him and his Successors to the time of the writing hereof The terms and Conditions of the said League is as followeth Of this see more in the year 1639. I. THat neither he nor any of his should injure or do hurt to any of their people II. That if any of his did any hurt to any of theirs he should send the Offender that they might punish him III. That if any thing were taken away from any of theirs he should cause it to be restored and they should do the like to his IV. That if any did unjustly War against him they would aid him and if any did War against them he should aid them V. That he should send to his Neighbour-Confederates to certifie them of this that they might not wrong them but might be likewise comprised in these Conditions of Peace VI. That when his Men came to them upon any occasion they should leave their Arms which were then Bowes and Arrows behinde them VII Lastly That so doing their Soveraign Lord King James would esteem him as His Friend and Ally All which he liked well and withall at the same time acknowledged himself content to become the Subject of our Soveraign Lord the King aforesaid His Heirs and Successors and gave unto them all the Lands adjacent to them and their Heirs for ever After these things he returned to his place called Sowams about fourty miles distant from Plimouth but Squanto continued with them and was their Interpreter and proved a special Instrument sent of God for their good beyond expectation he directed them in Planting their Corn where to take their Fish and to procure their Commodity and also was their Pilot to bring them to unknown places for their profit and never left them untill his death He was a Native of this place where Plimouth is and scarce any left besides himself He was carried away with divers others by one named Hunt a Master of a Ship who thought to sell them for Slaves in Spain but he got away for England This Merchants name was Mr. Slaney and was entertained by a Merchant in London and imployed to Newfound-land and other parts and at last brought hither into these parts by one Mr. Dermer a Gentleman imployed by Sir Ferdinando Gorges and others for Discovery and other Designs in these parts of whom I shall say something because it is mentioned in a Book set forth Anno 1622. by the President and Council for New-England That he made the Peace between the Salvages of these parts and the English of which this Plantation as it is intimated had the benefit and what a Peace it was may appear by what befell him and his men This Mr. Dermer was here the same year that these people came as appears by a Relation written by him bearing date June 30. Anno 1620. and they arrived in the Country in the Month of November following so that there was but four Months difference In which Relation to his honoured Friend he hath these passages of this very place where New-Plimouth is I will first begin saith he with that place from whence Squanto or Tisquantam was taken away which in Captain Smiths Map is called * This name of Plimouth was so called not only for the reason here named but also because Plimouth in O.E. was the last town they left in their Native Country for that they received many kindnesses from some Christians there Plimouth and I would that Plimouth had the like Commodities I would that the first Plantation might here be seated if there come to the number of Fifty persons or upwards otherwise at Charlton because there the Salvages are less to be feared The Pocanakets which live to the West of Plimouth bear an inveterate malignity to the English and are of more strength then all the Salvages from thence to Panobskut Their desire of Revenge was occasioned by an English-man who having many of them on Board made great slaughter of them with their Murderers and small Shot when as they say they offered no injury on their parts Note Whether they were English or no it may be doubted yet they believe they were for the French have so possest them for which cause Squanto cannot deny but they would have killed me when I was at Namassaket had he not intreated hard for me The Soyl of the Borders of this great Bay may be compared to most of the Plantations which I have seen in Virginia The land is of divers sorts for Patukset is an heavy but strong Soyl Nauset and Satukket are for the most part a blackish and deep Mould much like that where groweth the best Tobacco in Virginia In the bottom of the Bay is great store of Cod Bass or Mullet c. And above all he commends Pacannaket for the richest Soyl and much open ground likely and fit for English Grain Massachusets is about nine leagues from Plimouth and situate in the mids between both is many Islands and Peninsuls very fertile for the most part With sundry such Relations which I forbear to transcribe being now better known then they were to him This Gentleman was taken Prisoner by the Indians at Mannamoset a place not farre from Plimouth now well known he gave them what they demanded for his liberty but when they had got what they desired they kept him still and endeavoured to kill some of his men but he was freed by seizing on some of them and kept them bound till they gave him a Canooes load of Corn Of which see Purch lib. 9. fol. 1778. But this was Anno 1619. After the writing of the former Relation he came to the Isle Capewak Now called Martins Vineyard which lieth South from this place in the way to Virginia and the aforesaid Squanto with him where he going on shore amongst the Indians to trade as he used to do was assaulted and betrayed by them and all his men slain but one that kept the Boat but himself got on Board very sore wounded and they had cut off his Head upon the Cuddy of the Boat had not his Man rescued him with a Sword and so they got away and made shift to get into Virginia where he died whether of his wounds or the Diseases of the Country or both is uncertain By all which it may appear how farre this people were from Peace and with what danger this Plantation was begun save as the powerful hand of the Lord did protect them These things were partly the Reasons why the Indians kept aloof as aforesaid and that it was so long ere they could come to speech with any of them Another Reason as afterwards themselves made known was how that about three years before these first Planters arrived a certain French Ship was cast away at Cape Cod but the men got on shore and saved their lives and much of their Victuals and other goods but afterwards the Indians heard of it and gathered together from
