proposalls by a day assertained Wee doe refuse all Intercourse

should be given them to forbear at their perrill to come or
appeare within the bounds of this Governm^t for that if they doe
without coming in as afores^d they shall be certainly deemed

determine any Complaint either of the Indians or English with
one another & the determinacon of such person shall be

moment as to require an Appeal to the Govern^r & Council in
such cases if either the psons to heare & determine the matter
