quarrell betwixt y^u and us, arid that wee may now live in peace
as Brethren created by the same God though heretofore not
Known to one another, Wee desire that all such of the Sus-
quesahannah nation as shall come under yo^r protection may by
y^u be obliged not to do any violence or wrong to any Xian
inhabiting either in Maryland or Virginia, or to any Pascatta-
way Indian, or other Indian in amity with the Christians of
Maryland or Virginia, but that a peace may be established as
well between all the said Christians as all the said Indians to
last as long as the World shall endure.
3. In case any injury shall hereafter be done by any of the
said Susquesahannohs living under the p^rtection of you the
said Cinnigos, or by any of yo^r own Nation, You shall deliver
them upto us, or to the Hon^ble Govern^r Gen^ll of New Yorke,
if Wee desire it to be proceeded against, according to his
demeritts, and the nature of his offence.
4. To the end there may never be any cause of quarrel
between us, if the Cinnigos have occasion to come into the
Confines of the R^t Hon^ble the Lord Prop^ry of Maryland, Wee
desire they will first apply themselves to some of Our Officers
at the head of Chesapeake Bay, and give them notice of their
arrival, and intentions and take a Pass from some of them, that
our people who understand not the Cinnigos language, may
treat them civilly, and not be put into a jealousy that they are
enemies.

land, do live very dissolute lives comitting all notorious Vices,
& profaning the Lords day to the Great Scandall of the
