Propositions made to the Maques and Sinnequo Indians by
Henry CourSey Esq: on the behalf of the Right Hon^ble Charles
Lord Baron of Baltemore Lord and Proprietor of Maryland
for all his Maj: Subjects in Virginia and Maryland.

1. Being informed that the Maques Sinneques &c are of his
Governm^t and faithfull and constant Friends to the English
under our great King, I am come from my Lord Baltemore
Lord Prop^ry of Maryland, and all his Maj^tie'^s Subjects of Virginia
and Maryland to see and speak with them here.
2. That though through mistakes some discontents or
injuries may have happened between us heretofore, now upon
the good report of them which I find we are willing that all
what is past be buried and forgott you taking care, (as we
shall on our parts) that your Indians nor none living among
you or comeing through your Country do for the future injure
any of our persons, Pascattoway or other our Indians liveing
with us, or goods, or if any ill persons should do us any harm
that there be present full satisfaction given for all injuries or
damages.
3. The above being observed soe that noe injury or damage
be done, or satisfaction given, we shall alwaies esteem and
treat you as our good neighbours and friends.
4. And in case hereafter any difference should happen be-
twixt you and the Indians in league with us, that you will not
immediately make war, before that we know the occasion, soe
that thereby we may call them to account for the Evil done to
you and to propose satisfaction to you for that wrong and see
to continue the peace.
