all were set down Dekanissore rose up and desired liberty from his Excellency to sing a Song or two of Peace before they begin their Discourse Which was granted Then he took his place Rode rose up addressing his Discourse to the Sachims of the five Nations told them what great Reason they had to rejoyce to see their Brother Caijenquirago with so many that were of the Covenant Chain attending him to consûlt of Matters relating to the publick Good After which the whole Company of Indians sung two or three Songs of Joy and Peace Then Sadekanacktie the Speaker rose up and first turning to the Indians repeated how long the five Nations had been in Amity with the Inhabitants of the Province of New-York and the Subjects of the Crown of England In America with a Narrative of the many Acts of Friendship happening mutually from time to time and how the Covenant Chain was first madē Then turning to his Excellency said Brother Cajenquirago You expected to see us here and we the Sachims of the five Nations are come accordingly to speak to you Brother Caijenquirago You appointed us to meet you here in one hundred Days to give you our answer Who will be for you and who against you This is the hundredth Day and we are come with the Representatives of the five Nations to give an unanimous Answer This Spring we gave you an account that we had sent Messengers to Canada to treat with the French for which ill management you gave us a Rebuke but withal you did receive us again into your Favour and imbraced us promising not to break the Covenant Chain so long as you had Blood in your Veins and gave a Belt of Wampum in Confirmation of it Brother Caijenquirago You see that the Number of our People are much diminished some of them have been out a Hunting lately and have caught a small matter we do present your Excellency with some part of what we have got Then gave some Beaver and Peltry Brother Caijenquirago I shall be brief in what I have to to say In the days of Old when the Christians came first into this River we made a Covenant with them first with the Bark of a Tree afterwards it was renewed with a twisted Withe but in process of time left that should decay and rot the Covenant was fastened with a Chain of Iron which ever since has been called the Covenant Chain and the end of it was made fast at Onnondage which is the centre of the five Natïons And therefore it was concluded That whoever should violate or molest that Chain or any part of it the parties linked in the Chain should unanimously fall upon such and distroy them they should certainly dye the Death Since the time that the Governors have been here from the great King of ENGLAND we have made a general and more firm Covenant which has grown stronger and stronger from time to time and our Neighbours seeing the advantage thereof came and put in their Hands into the same Chain particularly they of New-England Connecticut New-Jarsey Pennsilvania Maryland and Virginia But since that time that all our Neighbours have put in their Hands into the Covenant Chain we have had great struggling and trouble from the common Enemy the French Our Brother Caijenquirago's Wrist and ours are tyred and stiff with holding fast the Chain alone whilst the rest of our Neighbours sit still and smoake it Thae Greese is melted from our Flesh and drops ûpon our Neighbours who are grown fat and live at ease while we become lean They flourish and we decrease Then naming all the English Plantations said Brethren we are envied by our Enemies round about and particulàrly by the French who are very unconstant and if the French or any other Enemy fall upon us let us all joyn together and take up the Hatchet in our hands and then we shall be strong enough to destroy our Enemies and live in Peace afterwards Brother Caijenquirago and the rest of the Brethren that are in covenant with us It has been an antient Custom to renew the Covenant Chain and to make it clean and bright that it may shine like Silver And we promise That it shall be on our parts so strong and inviolable that the Thunder it self shall not break it Brother Cajenquirago and the rest of our Brethren We have in the time that the Governours of this Province were called Corlaer planted here in this plâce a Tree of Peace and Wellfair whose Roots and Branches extend themselves as far as New-England Connecticut New-Jarsey
