<HEAD>NEW ENGLANDS WARR Vi&s;ibly Ended.</HEAD>
<OPENER><SALUTE>SIR,</SALUTE></OPENER>
<P>IN my la&s;t, which I hope you received, I mu&s;t acknowledge what I writ (though truth) yet I had not that comfortable &s;a|tisfaction in my &s;pirit, to give me hopes, that our publique Ca|lamities were &s;o near an end as now I have, which God in Mer|cy &s;anctifie to us, that we may &s;ee the Rod, and wherefore it is come.</P>
<P>We have been, and &s;till are ready to put different Reflections upon the Murders and Spoils that have been made upon us by this De&s;tructive War: Various are mens thoughts why God hath &s;uf|fered it, all acknowledge it was for &s;in; many wi&s;h there hath not been &s;ome leaven of that &s;pirit in the provocation for which we left <HI>Old England:</HI> I am in great pain while I write, to remem|ber how &s;evere &s;ome of us have been to De&s;&s;enters, making Spoil without pity, but God is teaching us Moderation.</P>
<P>That black cloud (God be thanked) begins to wa&s;te almo&s;t to no|thing, which may not only give us an hopefull opportunity of re|pairing the Spoils made by our Barbarous Neighbours, but al&s;o de|liberating upon the true cau&s;es of the&s;e great di&s;tractions: for now we have no vi&s;ible appearance of an Enemy: Terrour is fallen up|on very many, who come in dayly with &s;ubmi&s;&s;ion, and the re&s;t withdraw into places remote, hiding their weapons of War, and flying from Ju&s;tice in &s;mall Numbers.</P>
<P>King <HI>Philip,</HI> who hath been a pe&s;tilent Ringleader, that had once three hundred men (Barbarou&s;ly inclined) as I told you in my la&s;t, was reduced to ten, but now is killed, in this manner. He being hid in a <HI>Swamp</HI> on <HI>Mount Hope-neck,</HI> with his little Party, one of his <HI>Indians</HI> being di&s;contented with him, made an e&s;cape from him, and came to <HI>Rhode-I&s;land,</HI> and informed Captain <HI>Church</HI> a <HI>Plimouth</HI>-Captain of a Company that was in &s;earch after this &s;aid King <HI>Phi|lip,</HI> (the Captain being at this time on the &s;aid I&s;land, refre&s;hing his men with Nece&s;&s;ary Provi&s;ions) but under&s;tanding where King <HI>Philip</HI> was, and that he intended very &s;peedily to remove far off, to provide his Winter-quarters, retaining &s;till the &s;ame Barbarous &s;pirit and purpo&s;es, without the lea&s;t appearance of reluctancy or offers of Mediation, towards his &s;urrender to Mercy; whereupon
<PB N="2" REF="3" MS="y"><!-- PDF PAGE 54 -->the &s;aid Captain and his company with &s;ome <HI>Rhode-I&s;land</HI> men went in pur&s;uit and &s;earch after him, taking an <HI>Indian</HI> Guide with them, and be&s;et a <HI>Swamp</HI> where they heard he was, which was very mi|ry, and the ground &s;o loo&s;e, that our men &s;unk to the middle in their attempts, to come at this &s;culking Company, but all in vain, the pa&s;&s;age was to difficult.</P>
<P>While we were thus be&s;et with difficulties in this attempt, the Providence of God wonderfully appeared; for by chance the <HI>Indian</HI> Guide and the <HI>Plimouth</HI> man, being together, the Guide e&s;pied an <HI>Indian,</HI> and bids the <HI>Plimouth</HI>-man &s;hoot, who&s;e gun went not off, only fla&s;hed in the pan; with that the <HI>Indian</HI> look'd about, and was going to &s;hoot, but the <HI>Plimouth</HI>-man prevented him, and &s;hot the Enemy through the body, dead, with a brace of Bullets; and ap|proaching the place where he lay, upon &s;earch, it appeared to be King <HI>Philip,</HI> to their no &s;mall amazement and great joy: This &s;ea|&s;onable Prey was &s;oon divided, they cut off his head, and hands, and conveyed them to <HI>Rhode-I&s;land,</HI> and quartered his body, and hung it upon four Trees: One <HI>Indian</HI> more of King <HI>Philips</HI> Com|pany they then killed, and &s;ome of the re&s;t they wounded, but the <HI>Swamp</HI> being &s;o thick and miry, they made their E&s;cape.</P>
<P>This is the &s;ub&s;tance of this Enterprize, and the &s;mall remnant we left as incon&s;iderable, who mu&s;t either fly up into the Coun|trey&punc; or peri&s;h in the place.</P>
<P>There is one <HI>Potuck,</HI> a mi&s;cheivous Engine, and a Coun&s;ellour, taken formerly, &s;aid to be in Goal at <HI>Rhode-I&s;land,</HI> is now &s;ent to <HI>Bo&s;ton,</HI> and there &s;hot to death. One <HI>Quonepin</HI> a young lu&s;ty <HI>Sa|chem,</HI> and a very Rogue is now in Goal at <HI>Rhode-I&s;land,</HI> who was there &s;ome years ago for his Mi&s;demeanours, but broke Goal, and run away, and could never till now be laid hold on.</P>
<P>God be thanked, many <HI>Indians</HI> come in daily, and &s;ubmit them|&s;elves with much dejection, crying out again&s;t King <HI>Phillip,</HI> and o|ther ill Coun&s;ellors, as the cau&s;es of their Misfortunes.</P>
<P>The Engli&s;h go many of them now to their Old Habitations, and Mow down their Ground, and make hay, and do other occa&s;ions nece&s;&s;ary for their re-&s;etling: All which gives us comfortable hope, that God will graciou&s;ly repair our breaches, and cau&s;e this Bloody War to End in a la&s;ting Peace, So prays,</P>
