the Like Offence

be bound to call aloud before they Come within one Hundred

Arms whether Guns Bows and Arrows or other Weapons and
move a Distance from them that any English man that shall
appear upon their call may take them up and in case that no
one appears that they shall leave their said Arms if they Come
nearer and if afterwards call aloud to give notice to the Eng-
lish of their nearer approach and if any English man shall
kill an Indian that shall Come unpainted and give notice and
Deliver up his Arms as aforesaid he shall dye for it as Well
as an Indian that shall kill an English man and in Case the
Indians and English meet Accidentally in the Woods every
Indian shall be bound immediately to throw down his Arms
upon call and move from them and if an Indian meeting an
English man shall refuse to throw down his Arms upon call
as aforesaid he shall be deemed an Enemy and treated
as such
