We have constantly and commonly heard his Indian emissaries vent such reproaches as these : that we were water-carriers, tankard-bearers, run- agates, whipped out of the Bay ; but of such honour, and that equal to the greatest, we know no such thing, we own none, we desire none, we hear none such given, and there- fore, if I may judge the devil's pretences by his practices, I cannot but conceive he pretended and intended the contrary. The things of greatest consequence are three : 1. That you u...nderstand from Mr. Williams, that our magistrates denied to the Naraganset that they were tied to the agreement you made with them. 4 I suppose our magistrates told Mr. Williams so much. And, to evidence the reason of their proceeding, you may be pleased to take notice of these three things : Firstly. That the copy of these articles came so late after the war begun by you (for, to my best remembrance, they came in the winter, by an Indian, ) that we had little liberty to consult, nor safety nor certainty to send an an- swer ; nor did we see any such necessity bind us thereunto, being in the preface we were left unto our choice, to take or refuse, as we liked.
