Seite 187 - And lastly, that both Christians and Indians should acquaint their Children with this league and firm chain of friendship made between them, and that it should always be made stronger and stronger, and be kept bright and clean without rust or spot, between our children and children's children, while the Creeks and Rivers run, and while the Sun, Moon and Stars endure.
Seite 104 - tis won ! 'tis lost! Though strong their oar, still stronger is their fate: They strike ; and while they triumph, they expire. In stress of weather, most; some sink outright; O'er them, and o'er their names, the billows close; To-morrow knows not they were ever born.

Seite 149 - Indian, but he shall make his complaint to the governor of the province, or his lieutenant or deputy, or some inferior magistrate near him, who shall to the utmost of his power, take care with the king of the said Indian, that all reasonable satisfaction be made to the said injured planter.
Seite 198 - That the doors of the Christians' houses should be open to the Indians, and the houses of the Indians open to the Christians, and that they should make each other welcome as their friends.
Seite 149 - That no man shall, by any ways or means, in word or deed, affront or wrong any Indian but he shall incur the same penalty of the law as if he had committed it against his fellow planter...
Seite 159 - I can find an account of this, though so many mention it, and though all concur in considering it as the most glorious of any in the annals of the world.
Seite 93 - ... let my children be husbandmen and housewives; it is industrious, healthy, honest, and of good example; like Abraham and the holy ancients, who pleased God, and obtained a good report.
