3^dly For as much as the English cannot easily distinguish
one Indian from another that no Indian shall come into any
English Plantation painted and that all the Indians shall be
bound to call aloud before they come within three hundred
Paces of any Englishman's clear ground and lay down their
arms whether Gun Bows or Arrows or other Weapon for any
Englishman that shall appear upon his call to take up and in

he come nearer And that afterwards he shall by calling aloud
endeavour to give notice to the English of his nearer approach.

Amity with their said Majestys it shall be esteemed as great
