THE
QUAKERS ASSISTING
To preserve the LIVES of the INDIANS in the BARRACKS,
VINDICATED

And proved to be consistent with Reason, agreeable to our Law, hath an inseparable Connection with the Law of God, and exactly agreeable with the Principles of the People call’d Quakers.
Matthew Chap. 5, vers 11.

Blessed are you, when Man shall revile you and persecute you, and shall lay all manner of Evil against you falsly for my Sake; rejoice and be exceeding glad: For great is your Reward in Heaven, ye are the Light of the World. A City that is set on an Hill, cannot be hid.

Pert love with her by joint Commission Rules,
In this capacious Realm of idle Fools,
Who by false Hearts and popular Deceits,
The careless fond unthinking Mortal cheats.
POMFRET.

So few as you I think stain’d with Cruelty,
Is he not merceless that without shame,
Doth rob his Neighbour of his honest Name.
G.W.
