I rest thanckfully satisfied in your propounding of my Motion to the Court, and the Answere. (The earth is Jehovahs, and the Plenitude of it.) I am not a little glad that the Lot is fallen vpon a Branch of that Roote, in whose good (present and asternall both of Roote and Branches) I reioice. For his sake I wish it Ground and Grasse, and Trees, yet what vse so euer he please to make of it I desire he would not spare to make vse of me in any Service toward the Natiues on it or about it.

Miantunnomu in his Relations of passages in the Bay with you, thanckfully acknowledges to my selfe and others your loving Cariage to him and promiseth to send forth word to all Natiues to cease from Prudence Trees2 etc. Since your letter I travelled vp to Nayantaquit by Land where I heard Repriue was: There the Sachim (to whome he adheres Wepiteammock) and the people related that he was gone to his wife to Monhiggin: Allso that he Wepiteammock had sent to Onkas advising and vrging their Returne but he could not prevaile, and that if Repriue come within his Reach he will send him (though alone without his wife) howeuer.

I travelled to Monhiggin and vnderstood that they were all at Pequt Nayantaquit, but Onkas not being at home (but at Newhaven) I could not doe ought.

Sir I haue often called vpon your debtour Joshua, but his ill advisednes of refusing my service and spending of his time vpon a howse and ground hath disabled him. Vpon this occasion of your louing proffer of the halfe of the debt (8li) to my selfe, I shall be vrgent with him to seeke some course of payment of the whole to your selfe from whome in recompence of any paines etc. I desire no other Satisfaction but your louing and wonted acceptation, yea, although the busines had bene effected: Sir I had almost bene bold to say my Thoughts what I would doe in this case were the Runnawayes mine, but I 512will not more at present. If you shall please to require account of what my observacion hath taught me I shall readily yeald it in my next, euer begging Mercy and Truth to you and yours and my loving friends with you: The Lord Jesus returne vs all (poore Runnawayes) with weeping and supplications to seeke him that was nailed to the Gallowes, in him I desire to be (and mourne I am not) more Your Worships vnfaigned

Its noe small Comfort to me that I haue hope ere long to enioy your Companie. I purpose God willing to sett forth hence in the begynning of Aprill at furthest, and to take your sonne hence with me.

For my provision of Corne I purpose to buy yt there. If you feare the rising of the prise, I pray buy some for me and promise payment in money at my Landing. Here hath been great Joy for your great victories, but farr more for vanquishing your erronious opinions then for conquering the Pequoits. Our best and worthyest men doe much mervile you did not banishe Wheelwright and Hutchinsons wife, but suffer them to sowe more sedition among you; Mr. Vanes ill behaviour there hath lost all his reputation here. I heare he is about to travaile into Germanie.

The Nobility, gentry and Comons of Scotland are in Confederatie and combyned soe strong togeather that they will admitt of noe Conformity to our good Bishops orders, they haue throwne out the holy booke of Comon prayer, beaten theire Bishops and torne theire sirplisses of the backs of the Ministers, and manie more outrages in this kinde wee heare of dayly.

The Dutch haue taken in Breda.

In August last mr. Tyndall paid me one hundreth pounds.

I pray helpe me to hire or buy some howse (soe as I may sell yt againe if I shall remove) in some plantation about the Bay thus for present I take 513leave and rest leaving you and your affayres to the blessed proteccion of the Almighty. Your assured loving brother
