Whatever Philip's real feelings were, he apparently desired to live in amity with the English; and a few months after becoming the head of his tribe renewed the "covenant" which Massa- soit had made with the government of Plymouth. He does not seem to have, at first, felt a prejudice against the Christian religion for, in the winter of 1663-4, he and his people sent to John Eliot for "books to learn to read and to pray unto God. " Eliot's son twice visited Pokanoket and taught among the Wampano...ags, and from a letter ad- dressed by Eliot to the United Colonies in 1664, it appears probable that the apostle, himself, labored at Mt. Hope in 1664-5. The hamlet by the Kickemuit continued under the ward of Rehoboth during 1663 and 1664, being ordered to so re- main until such time as the " naighborhood " should be in a capassitie and desire to be a township of themselves. " In 1664 Sowams was rated at £2:05:00; in 1666 at £07:17:06; in 1667, at £10:10:00. During this same year, ''Wannamoi- 28 Massasoit's Town sett* and Parts Adjacent" were incorporated as a township under the name of Swansea.
