The only sufferings of these Crians Indians was that they were of coming up in the sumer during the warre to work for the english in the massachusats colony, whether many scores of them did usually repayre to work wearby they and their families were accomadated with nescicery clothing, wch is scarce deare upon these I lands, besides sentral of these indians belongings to the Ilands beeing at worke at some of the English townes when the warre began in the sumer 1674 were not permitted to stay in the colonies
