See now that I, even I am he, and there is nogod with me, I kill and I make alive, I wound and I heal, neither isthere any can deliver out of my hand.On the tenth of February 1675, came the Indians with great numbers uponLancaster: their first coming was about sunrising; hearing the noiseof some guns, we looked out; several houses were burning, and the smokeascending to heaven. There were five persons taken in one house; thefather, and the mother and a sucking child, they knocked on the head;the other two they took and carried away alive. There were two others,who being out of their garrison upon some occasion were set upon;one was knocked on the head, the other escaped; another there was whorunning along was shot and wounded, and fell down; he begged of them hislife, promising them money (as they told me) but they would not hearkento him but knocked him in head, and stripped him naked, and split openhis bowels. Another, seeing many of the Indians about his barn, venturedand went out, but was quickly shot down. There were three othersbelonging to the same garrison who were killed; the Indians getting upupon the roof of the barn, had advantage to shoot down upon them overtheir fortification. Thus these murderous wretches went on, burning, anddestroying before them.
