111 a small compy (1) having the convoy of some capts from Marlb'o that were coming to Sudbury having secured his carriage at a garrison house escaped narrowly from being cut off by the emy. The Emy. also at that time cut off some Eng. solds. that were coming down under the conduct of one Cowell of Boston, that had been a convoy to some provisions at Quabage fort. (2) But I have so far digress'd, therefore, to return to the Co. of our Chris. Inds., who, as soon as they had made a full discovery returned to their Capt. & the rest of the Eng. & gave them an acct of these motions. Then it was concluded to march over to the place and bury the dead, & they did so, shortly after; that day our Inds. marching in 2 files upon the wings to secure those that went to bury the dead. God so ordered it that they met with no interruption in that work. Our Inds. found only 4 dead Inds. of the eny. covered up with logs & rubish. This service so faithfully performed by our Chr. Inds. had the effect to abate much with many their former hatred of them, especially at Sudbury some of the people who had formerly done much injury to these our Chr. Inds. whilst they dwelt at Natick, for some of them know they have taken several things from them & never restored them, as guns utensils for carts + plows, corn & swine, & materials of iron work belonging to a sawmill & other things, their consciences can .....ness what they are, & if they do not make restitution, I fear they will have little comfort at death, tho they please themselves with this notion, that the emy. Inds. robbed + plundered them of such like things, but this will not be (I contend)
