We then besought Collo Phillip Warner, our governor to goe in
person against them, which at our earnest request he was pleased
to undertake and with very great difficulty and hazard did doe
such service upon them which hath procured our ease and rest in
some measure to this tyme, although not without continnall
watching and warding to our great charge and trouble, they still
threatening a bloody revenge upon this place.
And it is evident, had not Collo Warner’s party beene quick in
giving the first blow, upon those our bloody enemies, he and
those with him had received the same measure from our pretended
freinds but utter enemies. Who had agreed with those hee called
our enemies to destroy Collo Warner and his party and to that end
had them at rediness at hand, but God Almighty prevented them,
not sufferinge him any longer to raigne in his barbarous
practices of which this Island might give a large acompt for
neare forty yeares past and whether ye said Indian Warner with
his associates received not a due recompense for their villanys
and barbarous practices wee appeal to God and all ye world.
