when_o the_o governor_n understand_v be_v much_o incense_v therewith_o hold_v it_o for_o a_o great_a affront_n insomuch_o that_o when_o the_o prince_n and_o chief_a of_o they_o come_v first_o into_o

not_o bring_v in_o the_o malefactor_n to_o answer_v it_o and_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n detain_v they_o for_o prisoner_n when_o the_o poor_a people_n see_v themselves_o in_o that_o exigent_n get_v the_o offender_n to_o come_v in_o think_v the_o contempt_n not_o to_o deserve_v death_n but_o when_o the_o simple_a people_n understand_v his_o danger_n they_o offer_v a_o great_a ransom_n for_o his_o

many_o of_o they_o together_o that_o they_o cut_v all_o the_o planter_n throat_n in_o a_o instant_n demolish_v their_o fort_n and_o destroy_v what_o else_o they_o have_v there_o so_o this_o

they_o glean_v all_o the_o trade_n of_o the_o country_n insomuch_o that_o i_o believe_v these_o people_n who_o be_v not_o above_o 700._o in_o their_o several_a plantation_n do_v make_v a_o great_a benefit_n of_o the_o beaver_n trade_n than_o all_o our_o english_a in_o new-england_n be_v 30000._o they_o have_v make_v a_o experiment_n in_o delaware_n bay_n of_o whale_n fish_v but_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o slow_a preparation_n come_v not_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o season_n require_v nevertheless_o they_o kill_v 2._o or_o 3._o and_o be_v confident_a of_o a_o great_a voyage_n have_v they_o come_v in_o time_n for_o they_o report_v that_o there_o be_v great_a store_n of_o such_o fish_n than_o in_o groinland_n but_o upon_o that_o massacre_n the_o indian_n spoil_v all_o their_o fish_n craft_n that_o they_o never_o follow_v that_o employment_n afterward_o the_o planter_n have_v build_v in_o manahatas_n island_n many_o little_a boat_n and_o shallop_n with_o divers_a ship_n from_o 70._o to_o 200._o tun_n and_o upward_o and_o one_o of_o 700._o tun_n which_o be_v fit_v with_o as_o good_a mast_n and_o yard_n as_o any_o come_v from_o the_o east_n country_n and_o they_o have_v sail_n cable_n cordage_n and_o all_o other_o requisite_n fit_a for_o their_o set_n out_o for_o all_o other_o provision_n that_o belong_v to_o a_o colony_n they_o be_v general_o better_o stock_v than_o any_o other_o plantation_n in_o that_o country_n and_o have_v thrive_v beyond_o they_o therewith_o i_o can_v say_v little_a of_o the_o indian_n but_o that_o they_o be_v very_o subtle_a and_o ingenious_a seldom_o or_o never_o see_v upon_o any_o occasion_n to_o express_v much_o joy_n or_o sorrow_n the_o more_o eastward_o you_o go_v into_o new_a engl._n the_o few_o and_o more_o effeminate_a they_o be_v as_o on_o the_o other_o side_n the_o more_o westward_o the_o more_o populous_a masculine_a and_o martial_a yet_o it_o be_v never_o know_v that_o any_o of_o they_o assault_v a_o planter_n upon_o equal_a term_n but_o wait_v for_o a_o treacherous_a opportunity_n and_o then_o make_v use_n of_o their_o advantage_n 20._o i_o shall_v advise_v those_o that_o will_v undertake_v to_o plant_v new_a colony_n remote_a from_o other_o to_o build_v their_o house_n so_o near_o that_o upon_o all_o occasion_n they_o may_v be_v able_a to_o second_v one_o another_o and_o for_o their_o better_a secure_v to_o keep_v in_o each_o house_n a_o good_a mastiff_n dog_n which_o may_v give_v notice_n of_o a_o approach_a danger_n which_o otherwise_o will_v not_o be_v discover_v and_o with_o all_o be_v far_o more_o terrible_a to_o the_o indian_n then_o either_o gun_n or_o sword_n also_o i_o will_v wish_v all_o such_o planter_n to_o entreat_v the_o savage_n fair_o and_o by_o no_o mean_n to_o wrong_v they_o for_o if_o they_o be_v once_o just_o exasperate_v they_o will_v be_v find_v implacable_a and_o will_v never_o leave_v travail_v of_o a_o revenge_v until_o they_o bring_v it_o to_o execution_n therefore_o if_o any_o one_o be_v guilty_a in_o that_o kind_n let_v all_o the_o plantation_n stand_v upon_o their_o guard_n and_o expect_v no_o better_a favour_n than_o the_o dutch_a receive_v upon_o delawar_n bay_n for_o the_o use_n of_o fowl_a piece_n i_o hold_v they_o very_o necessary_a to_o shoot_v at_o deer_n and_o land-fowle_a for_o the_o deer_n will_v be_v less_o affright_v with_o the_o fall_n of_o one_o that_o way_n then_o with_o hunt_v or_o course_v at_o the_o herd_n and_o for_o land-fowle_a the_o ground_n be_v so_o rough_a that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o mean_n to_o come_v by_o they_o but_o for_o sea_n foul_a though_o much_o shoot_n can_v beat_v they_o off_o the_o coast_n yet_o they_o will_v grow_v so_o cunning_a and_o fearful_a that_o a_o man_n may_v walk_v two_o or_o 3._o hour_n before_o he_o can_v come_v to_o a_o shoot_n so_o the_o best_a course_n be_v to_o get_v into_o each_o plantation_n a_o good_a fowler_n that_o know_v how_o to_o lay_v net_n and_o other_o device_n to_o catch_v they_o who_o by_o that_o mean_n will_v be_v better_a able_a to_o furnish_v the_o planter_n by_o his_o own_o labour_n than_o they_o will_v with_o forty_o gun_n there_o must_v be_v a_o good_a circumspection_n use_v in_o civilise_v of_o the_o savage_n otherwise_o what_o will_v prove_v their_o best_a good_a may_v happen_v the_o planter_n great_a prejudice_n for_o the_o mean_a sort_n of_o they_o they_o may_v be_v train_v up_o any_o where_n without_o any_o danger_n and_o there_o bring_v up_o to_o art_n and_o labour_n will_v prove_v a_o assist_a help_n to_o the_o planter_n but_o for_o the_o prince_n and_o chief_a of_o the_o country_n the_o sure_a course_n to_o prevent_v trouble_n and_o danger_n be_v to_o send_v they_o so_o far_o from_o the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v bear_v that_o they_o may_v not_o know_v what_o they_o be_v or_o whence_o they_o come_v otherwise_o by_o better_a understanding_n what_o right_a prince_n have_v above_o private_a man_n to_o a_o country_n and_o have_v some_o of_o the_o native_n skill_v in_o the_o art_n and_o occupation_n of_o the_o planter_n will_v peradventure_o think_v themselves_o fit_a and_o able_a to_o reduce_v the_o land_n people_n to_o what_o we_o intend_v and_o seek_v either_o by_o their_o treachery_n strength_n or_o the_o aid_n of_o other_o neighbour_a prince_n to_o extirpate_v the_o plantation_n and_o reinvest_v
