Brothers, we must be one as the English are, or we shall soon all be destroyed. You know our fathers had plenty of deer and skins, and our plains were full of deer and of turkeys, and our coves and rivers were full of fish. But, brothers, since these English have seized upon our country, they cut down the grass with scythes, and the trees with axes. Their cows and horses eat up the grass, and their hogs spoil our beds of clams; and finally we shall starve to death! Therefore, stand not in your own light, I beseech you, but resolve with us to act like men. All the sachems both to the east and to the west [to the north and to the south] have joined with us, and we are all resolve to fall upon them, at a day appointed, and therefore I have come secretly to you, because you can persuade the [warriors] to do what you will. Brothers, I will send over fifty [Narraganset] warriors to Manisse, and thirty to you from thence, and take a hundred of your own here. And, when you see the three fires that will be made at the end of forty days hence, in a clear night, then act as we act, and the next day fall on and kill [every single white] men, women, and children, but no cows; they must not be killed as we need them for provisions, till deer comes again.
