be inviolable Peace and Amity between the R^t Hon^ble the Lord
Pro^ry of this Province and the Emp^r of Nanticoke upon the
Articles hereafter in this treaty to be agreed upon to the
worlds end to endure and that all former Acts of hostility and
damage whatsoever by either party susteined be buried in per-
petuall oblivion.
2: That the Emp^r of Nanticoke shall deliver up all Indians
that shall come into his Dominion that are or shall be enemies
to the English and further that if any Indian subject to the said
Emp^r shall hereafter kill an English man that the said Emp^r
shall be obliged to deliver such Indian up to the Governour of
this Province as a Prisoner.

Indian from another, that noe Indian shall come into any Eng-
lish Plantation Painted and that all the Indians shall be bound
to call aloud before they come within 300 paces of any English-
man's cleered ground and lay down their Armes whether Gun,
Bowes or Arrowes or other weapons for any English man who
shall appear upon his call to take up and in case that noe one
appeares that he shall there leave his said Armes if he come
nearer and that afterwards by calling aloud endeavour to give
notice to the English of his nearer approach And if any Eng-

lishman shall kill any Indian that shall come up painted and
give such notice and deliver up his armes as aforesaid he shall
dye for it as well as an Indian that kills an English man and
in case the English and Indians meet in the woods accidentally
every Indian shall be bound imediately to throw down his
Armes upon call and in case any Indian soe meeting an Eng-
lishman shall refuse to throw down his Armes upon call he
shall be deemed as an Enemy.
4: The Priviledge of hunting, crabbing, fowling and fishing
shall be preserved to the Indians inviolable.
5: That every Indian that killeth or stealeth any Hogg or
Calf or other beast or any other goods shall undergoe the

offence.

ters or children from their Parents and come to any of the
Indians townes within the Territorys of Ahopperoon and his
subjects they be bound to apprehend the said fugitives and
bring them to the next English Plantation to be conveyed to
their Masters and in case any Indian aforesaid shall convey or
assist any such fugitives in their flight out of this Province that
he shall make their respective Master or Mistress of such ser-
vant or slave such satisfaction as an Englishman ought to doe
in the like case.
